Rocky Patel Fusion DC Toro cigar review

This 6.5×52 stick has a unique wrapper/binder, offering both a conneticut and maduro combination in a twisted spiral pattern called a barberpole! At times it reminded me of a more potent Vintage 1992, but quickly transitioned into something all its own. The overall body was medium-full, but it did go up and down slightly over the course of the 1 1/2 hour burn. Construction was excellent with a near perfect burn and perfect draw from start to finish, never wavering typical for Rocky Patel! The flavors were nothing short of amazing every other draw seemed to bring change, and it was almost something new each time. Both the individual and combination of flavors morphed, and include: pepper, spice, wood, leather, earth, creamy smoothness, sweetness, oil, cocoa, coffee and a ton of really subtle characteristics that were sometimes only there for a fleeting moment. These are only currently available in the Fusion Sampler Pack, 5 each of the three Fusion blends the other two reviewed here and here.
