I was able to surreptitiously obtain this target with the help of my asset on Twitter @doc8466. Thanks for sending this character safely for me to interrogate! Oh, and accompanying this target was some libation that I have since consumed. Be jealous.
Name: Rocky Patel “I” Press
Size: 6″ x52 (Toro)
Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro
Binder: Honduras
Filler: Nicaragua
Strength/Body: Cream Soda on fire (Medium)
This target vexed me. So much so that I shaved its head with my Spy Cigar Scissors and lit its foot on fire. I figured the square disguise was just a ploy to piss me off. Speaking of ploys, Agent 10, that new gadget you sent isn’t a Spy Boomerang. It’s a broken hockey stick that you painted and wrote “SpY BewMerang” on. You petulant dullard.
Square. Dark Maduro wrapper. Solid construction. Small veins. Sweet “barn-ish” scent.
As this target started speaking, the whole experience became…edgy. Pun intended. Perfect draw, weird feel in the mouth though. That’s what she said. Fantastic burn. Nice razor thin burn line. Marbly, strong ash.
Sweet Maduro flavors. Medium bodied mouth feel. Short finish. Lacks complexities found in some Nicaraguan tobacco blends. Weird room aroma. Boringly enjoyable.
I have an ambivalence towards Rocky Patel blends. In short, I love certain blends and I loathe others. This one lacks the flavors I have come to expect and enjoy from Rocky, especially in a Maduro cloak. It’s just not enough. I need more results to put together a proper interrogation, and this cigar never rallied in the flavor department. I rallied in the flavor department once, and security escorted me out.

Agent Tip #22: If you deduce that a clandestine enemy has bugged your living quarters, recite lyrics from any KC and the Sunshine Band song in a falsetto voice. This will render the listener torpid and impotent.


Good review, Mike. Based on that I don’t think I want to try it so I’ll avoid this one all together. Thanks.
I’ve found the suspects I’ve taken care of to be minimal on the info but cooperative overall. Worth the cost when you can get a good deal on them.
I agree with the strange feel do to the shape…just not right.
Set them on fire and they make up for it!
I’ll have you know that my mother gave up the name “dullard” after the accident in that Milk Factory. And I don’t know who Petulant is- maybe a cousin of mine?
By the way, the aborigine that I stole that Bewmerang from might be after you. Watch out for an angry man wearing a hockey mask and jersey with three teeth-he’s vicoius!!
Great Review! Keep it up!Give My regards to Petulant Dullard,

This is definately my least favorite Patel. I like the seasonal blends, Vintage blends, Sun Grown, and the CI Orange label. The I-Press was just awful. Maybe I got a bad batch (got 3 in a sampler), but every time I tried them, before I could get halfway through, I threw up. NEVER have w/any other stick, and I did w/all of the I-Presses I got.
