Although I'm not generally an AF fan, this cigar is considerably better than the other 2 IMO. If you want to try one let me know.

I bought a box of the Partagas Spanish Rosado when they first debuted and was so unimpressed that I gave it away. I'm glad they've improved.
Likewise I bought a box 2-3 years ago and thought they were okay, but not overly impressive. Gave away a bunch, but buried a handful in the bottom of the catch-all humidor. I accidentally dug one up a month or so ago and figured I'd give it a whirl. While I'm not running out to buy more, it wasn't really a bad cigar. Age may have helped it a bit.

Haven't had the Rocky, but I'd also rank the King B ahead of the Partagas by a wide margin.
