ebhead Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Interesting. I may have to get a box of each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabashcr Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Glad to see he's gone with a milder blend. Hopefully that will yield more complexity and better flavors. I know his first RP release was pretty well received here, but I have to think that was heavily influenced by how much everyone loves Hamlet. I fully expect this one to be better. Now, about those vitolas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lotusguy Posted July 1, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2017 Sorry, but the first release was not my cup of tea at all. Can only hope the next release will be better - but there is only so much he can do while working for rocky Patel... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElJefe Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I concur with LotusGuy. Much adoration and admiration for Hamlet, but his first collaboration effort with Rocky Patel, yielded a Two Puffs at most before it was Ditched blend for me personally. Honestly, even the two puffs took some effort. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danimalia Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I don't know the man. I thought the first blend was solid, but there are so many good San Andres maduro cigars these days that I've never really gone back and re-tried it. This new blend sounds like it will be up my alley, and it will be interesting to see what he does with an Ecuador Habano wrapper and PA Broadleaf binder. With the exception of the 6x60, I like the sizes just fine. I hope it does well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puros Y Vino Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 I enjoyed the first blend. The clear winner for me was the Robusto and the Salamones. They are definitely strong but I found them to be more dynamic than the average NC. But yes,he will always be remembered for his sweet Cuban customs. That era is gone. I think he has the drive to build his brand and be a big player in the NC world soon enough. He is certainly working hard touring around the US and doing events. The man has the gift of gab and can certainly entertain an audience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthson Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Still haven't tried the first release. Got a couple of salomons, but heard they needed some age, so haven't touched one yet. Any bueno? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 50, and most likely will never see legal Cuban cigars in my lifetime, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLC Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I'm not an nc smoker but I am a friend of Hamlets and got some of the Robusto's when they came out. When I first had one they were too strong but I had one a week ago and well still a full bodied cigar, the strength did not totally over power the cigar like before. I think this blend needs time to meld together. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost bought one local to try It's been quite a while since I had the one, but I believe it was a combination of burnt dirty earth or funk if you want to call it that, a hint of cherry like unpleasant artificial type sweetness, cream, some pepper, and just an overwhelming ever-present flavor of harsh tabacco. I really wanted to like this cigar and give it my thumbs up, but no can do. The wrapper leaf of these is just so jet black, that I highly suspect artificial Maduro wrapper manipulation / coloration. To boot, I had the cigar resting for about two months or so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxcjs0101 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 He might be a famous roller and all but the cigars which bear his name is priced a bit on the high side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
