# Rocky Patel ALR Second Edition Review #2

Strong cedar flavor right off the bat, which is not something I had expected based on the cold draw. There was earth and unsweetened cocoa behind the wood, as well as a bit of pepper spice heat. The retrohale was very peppery. By JM-R on October 23 2020 5:40:17 PM

## Good cigar!

Strong cedar flavor right off the bat, which is not something I had expected based on the cold draw. There was earth and unsweetened cocoa behind the wood, as well as a bit of pepper spice heat. The retrohale was very peppery. As I burned through the first third, I found a sweet note coming out of the chocolate and a little more pepper hitting my palate, while the cedar receded a bit.
