Rocky Patel Catch 22 Sixty - Cigar Review

Rocky Patel Premium Cigars
Catch 22 Sixty 660 Gordo (Orange Band)
NOTES:
Simple sweetly toasted notes of walnuts/wood/shells. Traces of baking chocolate. Minimally piquant via mulling spice which becomes lemon-pepper on retro-hale. Lemonade hither and tither, balanced by molasses. Verily earthen from under-belly up. Wobbly burn with slight cracking on top-leaf. Harshes up in the final-third. Finish is somewhat lacking.

FINAL GRADE: B
A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79 D 60-69 F 0-59
WRAPPER: Corojo
BINDER: Ecuadorian Sumatra
FILLER: Honduran, Mexican

STRENGTH: Medium
ORIGIN: Honduras
IN ADDITION:
"The Catch 22 is a well-balanced medium bodied cigar. A solid earthy core is accompanied with flavors of cocoa as well as a lingering sweetness." - Rocky Patel Website
