Fire by Rocky Patel
What is it?
A whopper of a cigar weighing in at 53 ring gauge by 7 inches in length.
A Corojo wrapper filled with Nicaraguan and Honduran tobaccos.
It states on the band "triple fermentated" what does this mean? I found out that every Fire cigar undergoes an extremely time consuming "triple fermentation" process in order to draw out the most unique and complex blends from the tobaccos that Rocky uses in this cigar.
It also states that it is made from cuban seed tobacco.
Technically not stated as a Rocky Patel as it is made by the Indian tabac and blended by him.
What does it taste like?
The initial draw picks you up and smacks you around the face,
it's spicyness numbs your lips like a overworked fluffer (http://www.wikiality.com/Fluffer) straight away which when fades reveals a rich and tasty flavour.
The "triple fermentation" does indeed create a rich, smooth "Cuban-esque" flavour to it. Then just when you thought it was safe to take your next draw the spice comes back for round two.
This progresses in this fashion throughout the enitre smoke.
How strong is it?
This is on the top side of medium strength, if it werent for the spicyness I'd knock it down to a plain medium.
The draw?
Smooth, didnt have to work to hard with it. An even burn throughout and the ash held it's own, albeit slightly 'Flakey' my trousers remained unscathed from ash.
Final thoughts?
Would I want it as a victory cigar after uploading a computer virus to the alien mothership, yes I would if I made it back to earth in one piece.
For me this is another result for the Rocky Patel Range,
Would I have another one? Definatley. Although unlike the wife, I would probably prefer it to be shorter and thicker that lasted half the time.
This was nearly a 2 hour smoke. Fortunatley I was left undisturbed with it, a rare thing for a Sunday afternoon.
Out of 10? I would go for a 7.25
And that was my first review.
