So yesterday I smoked a Rocky Patel Renaissance. Thanks for Jaime for gifting me this cigar.

I took it out of the cello and it was pretty smooth and had slight veins that you really had to feel the cigar to feel them. It was very well constructed. Not hard but not spongy either. Just perfect. I cut the cap with my new camo Palio (thanks Mac) and lit this baby up.

I got plenty of smoke out of this cigar for the entire time smoked. It opened with flavors of raisins and that slowly diminished about an inch into the smoke. Then the cocoa started and began to build. Great cocoa flavors and eventually the raisin came back. I smoked this stick down to about 1 1/2-2" as my steak was done and it was time to eat inside (I don't smoke inside the house).

I smoked this stick while grilling a steak for dinner. I was also drinking some coffee with it. It paired rather great with the coffee. I would say it took me 1 1/2 hours to smoke the cigar (I did light it up way before the steak was cooking).

Thanks Jaime for gifting me one of these fine smokes by RP. Glad I traded you for a 5'er of them.

I'll post photos from my phone tomorrow.
