Olde World Reserve by Rocky Patel



Last night was a great fall night in Kansas City to stay out by the patio with a warm fire and enjoy an awesome cigar. I enjoyed the Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve in the 54 x 5 Torpedo Maduro.

The Olde World Reserve is the most sophisticated smoke in the Patel arsenal. It has the richness, elegance and complexity of the Rocky Patel Vintage line with the strength and flavor of the Rocky Patel Edge. It has a unique band and wrap with the RP logo printed in gold. Very nice presentation.

This full bodied cigar has unprecedented flavor. This is a full-bodied smoke that starts off with spicy power, and soon mellows pleasantly to some creamy, leathery flavors. The Maduro has a dark oily wrapper that surprises you with peppery flavors. This $14 Torpedo reminded me of some smokes I’ve enjoyed more in the $20 range.

I really enjoyed the Olde World and will stock a few in my humidor and see how they age.
