Perhaps my favorite cigar yet (meant to type RP's White Label) Edited

Smoked: Foundation Highclere Caste Edwardian

I've been champing at the bit to try this one for a while and on the eve of my 27th rev, I figure what better way to kick it off. Rocky Patel White Label – Toro; Aged for 10yrs, I'm excited to try it considering how much Rocky praises this blend.

Sweetened, creamy cashews, cocoa and cinnamon take the prominent profile, some baking spices, perhaps cardamom and clove but not their entire terpenoid/flavonoid profile, only aspects and certainly a faint citrus zest. Within the 1ˢᵗ third, an exquisite blend!

Wow! She exudes a gingerbread and graham cracker on the exhale, the entire profile takes me to Salado, Tx around Christmas with all the store smells and foods you can't miss. Not even halfway and I dare to say this is by far my favorite stick, even over the LP No. 9, but by a few hairs.

Breadiness doesn't drop off at the 1/2 way point but slightly becomes more like raisin bread with the creaminess of a corn casserole minus the corn, with the citrus zest exuding much more. Picking up some nutmeg and habanero heat in the nub. Amazing stick! Thank you @rockypatelcigar

    Great review! I love those graham cracker / ginger bread notes, you’re spot on. I keep a few of these on hand for special occasions but totally worth the price tag.
