I'll be sure to light one up in the first half next week. We didn't start kicking ass until the second half when I started smoking.

Smoked the patel decade tonight.

Started off with kind of a bitter but slightly tangy,citrus-esque taste. It mellowed out after a few minutes but stayed very spicey throughout. I didn't get the full wrap up, the wrapper split about 2/3 into it. Texture was mildly leathery/slick texture.

It was good on its merits, just not my thing. Good smoke for someone who likes spicey.

BNP what did you smoke out of what I sent

I had the displeasure of smoking two decades myself and as with all other rp cigars found then to be pretty crappy. I just do not like anything that tard touches. I found then to be flat. Im surprised you got that much spice out of them. That would have helped in the two i had.

Smoked the ancient maduro 2 nights ago as a victory cigar. I hadn't ever heard of this cigar, thus had never smoked one. Sat down on the porch post-Aggie win with a glass of jack with 2 cubes of ice to enjoy some peace and quiet.

It was wonderful. Started off smooth with lighter than maduro strength for what I expected. Then the strength hit- bam- some thick psuedo-nutty smoke that was surprisingly smooth. Wrapper was oily goodness with some bitter tones. It was definitely ready to be smoked.

All in all, it was perfect for a post-win celebration. Great selection and thanks '08!

This spice was def. not a good thing. It was so overwhelming it made me kinda . I'm not a puss when it comes to FB or strong cigars, y'all saw a pretty good representation of what I smoke in BNP's pack, this one just did not sit right with me.

BNP- that's my go to smoke! If I need a cigar and don't want to spend much, that's the one.
