La Aroma de Cuba
My first La Aroma de Cuba was given to me by a co-worker nearly a year ago and since that day, I’ve smoke quite a few more. As soon as I came up with the idea to launch Oak & Smoke, I was determined to make the La Aroma de Cuba my first official cigar review. I originally intended to take some pictures for this review, but found myself without a camera when the occasion to smoke my final stick came. That really was an unfortunate turn of events for reasons I’ll get to in a moment, but first on to the review.

Rocky Patel Sungrown
This review has been a long time coming, but I just hadn’t gotten around to smoking the Rocky Patel Sun Grown Torpedo sitting in my humidor for the past four months. Fortunately, the side effect of procrastination is one an appropriately aged cigar. As a self-described fan of Rocky Patel cigars, I was definitely looking forward to giving this one a try.

Rocky Patel Decade
The Rocky Patel Decade is a special 10th anniversary release from Rocky and the torpedo earned a 95 rating from Cigar Afficionado. Rocky himself brought a whole bunch of these cigars to give away at the Aleppo Smoker I attended back in March and I forced myself to leave it alone for a while. This past weekend I finally took it out of the humidor and fired it up.
