82328 Rocky Patel Royal Vintage with thanks to jeebling.
Starts off dry and bitter. And like every box pressed RP I've ever smoked, one side wants to run. At an inch it chilled with the bitterness and went more nutty. One touchup. Little pepper on retro not much. Less dry. Pleasant. Typical mass market cigar profile nothing to excite nothing to offend. Burn needed one more touchup around halfway. Halfway the flavors and texture got sweeter and richer, it's decent. Lingering aftertaste is kinda ashy and doesn't match the flavor of a fresh draw. Any bite in the retro has left, it's just a smooth sweet rich smoke. My A&W cream soda easily overpowers any flavor from the cigar. It's pretty much what I expected. I liked the Decade more but if I smoked this or the decade on the lawnmower unbanded I don't think I'd be able to tell the difference. Decent yard gar
