To me the RP are about the same as most of the Perdomo line. Taste too much like earth. The exception for me is the RP Camaroon line which I really like. That being said I dont think the Patagas has an overwhelming spice but a balance between what I get to be spice tobacco leather and coffee flavors. The spice and the coffee seem to be more prevalent on the retrohale as opposed to the normal draw. The NC Partagas played a huge part in my cigar hobby and about 10 years ago the forbidden ones graced my stable. Night and day difference between and both still among my favorites.
