Taste
Smell and cold draw
The aromas of the cigar were incredibly interesting. The wrapper smelled of hay and vanilla. The filler had a unique scent of hay and oddly figs. The cold draft was almost fresh and slightly reminiscent of orange.
1/3 Lets light Rocky patel nørding 50th anniversary toro grande
What an incredible experience the Rocky patel nørding 50th anniversary toro grande cigar offered. The texture was creamy and buttery at the same time. The flavors it offered were hay, a raisin-like sweetness, apricot, nuttiness best described as a mix of pistachios and cashews, oak, and a tartness reminiscent of orange. In the background there were shades of espresso, brown sugar, saltiness and mineral shades. The retrohalation tickled the nose a little and gave shades of white pepper.
2/3 The flavor party continues
The texture was the same as before, creamy but at the same time buttery. The cigar showed its complex side and gave flavors of cedar, espresso, oak and nuttiness as before which went in the direction of pistachios and cashews. In the background there was a light overall fruitiness and apricot, dark chocolate, mineral nuances and a saltiness and meatiness that reminded me of Prosciutto. Between the flares, shades of dark chocolate remained. The retrohale was smooth and gave nuances of white pepper and cedar wood.
3/3 An incredible finish to the Rocky patel nørding 50th anniversary toro grande cigar
The cigar has an incredibly pleasant finish. The texture was now just creamy. The flavors it gave were a fruitiness that went in the direction of dark berries and a woodiness reminiscent of a leaf of cedar and oak. In the background not long after were shades of apricot, raisin, espresso, dark chocolate and leather. The retrohalation was smooth and gave nuances of white pepper and cedar.

Conclusion
An incredibly good and well-balanced cigar. Although the body was almost full, it also suits the slightly more inexperienced Aficionado, a good cigar for those who want to indulge in a full-bodied cigar but haven’t developed the taste buds for it. If I compare price vs. taste vs. quality, I almost think it’s cheap considering what you get.
