I’ve talked quite a bit about the cigars from Jesus Fuego quite a bit this week, so I decided to finish out the week by looking at what others have said.

Rocky Patel Old World Reserve Corojo Cigar Review

I wasn’t quite sure how to introduce this line—after all, who in the Cigar world hasn’t heard of Rocky Patel?

Set aside some time for this cigar as I’ve found them lasting nearly 2 hours.

Alight, on to the cigar itself. The Perdomo Habano Maduro and Corojo were released in 2007 and contain a blend of Nicaraguan tobacco from three different growing regions.
