RP Olde World Reserve Toro Corojo

We'll cut right to the chase. Rocky Patel's Olde World are the best and most sophisticated cigars in his arsenal. As club members know, he's well known for making some of the best stogies today including his Vintage and Edge lines, all of which have received 90+ ratings from Cigar Aficionado Magazine. Olde World is his most expensive creation to date. With it he succeeds in capturing the classic full flavor of cigars from a bygone era-- that distinctive Cuban mellowness so elusive to non-Cuban cigar makers. Patel uses an unusual blend of tobaccos with this smoke, including a mixture of aged tobaccos from Honduras and India that together generate a pleasant sweetness. Available in both Corojo and Maduro wrappers we're featuring the Corojo. This medium-to-full-bodied cigar is a full flavored smoke. Its extra fermented wrapper rounds out the nuances of the many competing notes on the palate. Light up and you're assaulted with rich black pepper and earthy flavors. Just an inch or so into the smoke, it mellows into creamy, leathery notes and finishes with hints of cocoa and more—but softer--spicy notes. Panelists found that each time, the Olde World smoked the same—buttery smooth, with a great draw and a superior burn. Deep in flavor and, as is true of the Cubans of old, quite mellow. Consider smoking this one with a hoppy India Pale Ale.
