Rocky Patel 2008 Summer Collection

[RockyPatelSales]

Hey gang,

It's been extremely busy here this past month for us. Our factories are carefully crafting our next batch of Decade and are also focusing on our new line.

Rocky has chosen to highlight the best crops from each season and showcase them in a new blend each season. This first release of our Season Collection line will be this Summer with our 2008 Summer Collection cigars.

Although Rocky hasn't released the official blend yet, he hinted at it being a Nicaraguan puro. (I got the chance to smoke one last week. It's an amazing rich cigar with plenty of peppery and leathery spice. I'd compare it to a 1998 Opus X with much more body and richness.)

We will only have one shipment of each Season Collection, so it will be extremely limited. It should hit shelves this July.

Thanks for reading and happy smoking!

Official product description:

I'm as big of a RP fan as they come, but that a pretty bold statement. Hopefully there are a few in my area to try.

I was going to say the same thing to compare them to a cigar seed (opus crop was only planted in 92 they didn't come out till 95) but I know what you were trying to say and am just messin with you. I'll tell you right now though you have me pretty excited about this I love the decades

The last paragraph of the CA artical says they should be released within two weeks.

I guess I'll wait two weeks before I make my next purchase of cigars.

Two weeks is a hell of a lot better than 'July'. I can't wait. They will go next to the RP OWRs, Vintage 90s and 92s, IT SF Maduros and RP OSGs in my special 'Rocky Patel' humidor. It only holds about 100 sticks and is crammed full already, but I will make room (read: smoke more daily).

Compare to an OpusX 92? That is a BOLD statement. I think you need to send me a box for extensive testing...:-)
