I'm with you here. The Patel Edge Corojo was one of the best surprises this year. Hey, I think I'll dedicate a column on Puros y Ron (
http://cigarsandbooze.blogspot.com) to that! I can't tell you how many people I know that have switched from an 8 or 10 stick to the RPEC as a mainstay. Fabulous cigar. Even better at first when they were about a dollar less per stick.
Tried the Missile? Humble opinion, it has the best flavor with the least bitterness to the tongue. And some of them hit an aroma peak that is downright Padronlike.
