Rocky Patel X-Outs are back....and better than ever.
Rocky Patel is the maker of many of today's finest and most popular cigars. He's also a notorious stickler for perfection, as each cigar is heavily scrutinized during the sortation and selection process. Of course, any underfilled or otherwise mis-rolled cigars get rejected several steps before and are never even allowed to see the light of day....that's not what's going on here. Instead, RP X-Outs materialize several steps beyond that when, just prior to packaging, certain cigars get rejected during color sortation. The color may be too dark or too light, or there's a sun spot somewhere on the leaf.
That's what we have here: Rocky Patel X-Outs. Each X-Out burns and tastes exactly like firsts, contain the same first-quality tobacco, but cost significantly less. For obvious reasons we can't tell you which is which; instead they are labeled as Liga A, Liga B, Liga C, etc. You'll figure it out. Truth be told, if you're a Rocky Patel fan, you'd be silly to pass these quality cigars up cuz there's a ton of value for the money here son.
For those of you who know and love our RP Vintage 2nds, try the RP X-Outs - tremendous RP quality for a fraction of the price.
“After much trial and error...all of which was highly enjoyable...I think I figured it out. A = Edge. B = Sun Grown. C = Olde World. D = Decade. E = Super Fuerte. F = Edge Lite. I have been smoking Rocky's cigars since the Indian Tabac days, and I have compared these side by side against the actual boxed product I've compiled over the years. If I am wrong, may the heavens strike down upon me. If I am right...well, I expect some cigar payments sent my way from fellow brothers of the leaf for my services.”

“This has to be the best deal going in our wonderful little world of cigars! I've tried each 'Liga' of Rocky Patel X-Outs and (despite my wife being upset) I think I've figured it out. A is Edge. B is Sun Grown. C is Olde World Reserve. D is Decade. E is Indian Tabac Super Fuerte. I've been enjoying Rocky's cigars for years and am 100% certain. Get yourself a bundle of these before the secret is out. You'll thank me!!!”

“Simply put "order these bastards" I as you are, are a cigar freak (Rocky Patel X-Outs). We enjoy great cigars with great flavor , and oh ya we love a great value. I bumped across these and though ok why not. If their not the real thing i'm not out too much cash. I have smoked a lot of the real thing at $13 a stick. Got my shipment today. Liga C, which was very oily and frankly made me drool. It did look like the Olde World. I cut it, GREAT draw. Then i lit it, holy mary mother and joseph, it is Olde World at $4 bucks. Needless to say I need to re-order today because i was so impressed that i damn near gave away 10 and smoked the rest TODAY, i am that happy. I am prolly gunna order ten orders of the liga c, 5 of the corojo toro, and 5 or the maduro toro. Its like freakn Christmas at my office today, my employees think i'm crazy. They might not be that far off!!”

“I recently picked up a pack of the Liga 'D' Torpedo and I can say I am more than pleased. I am still not too sure of the blend but it is something new to my palate.
The construction is great. Of those I have had so far no soft or hard spots to speak of. Very smooth medium brown wrapper with a few prominent veins. A relatively light stick in the hand for it's size.
Pre-light the wrapper and foot have a smell similar to the 1990 vintage but distinctly different. Obvious spice. Not enough to make you sneeze on a good whiff but strong.
After cutting the prelight draw felt perfect. Easy and clear. Tasty. Very sweet and slightly woody with a bit of nut. A little Vanilla.
The first lit draw starts with a bite. Impressive but not over powering or off putting. After that initial blast it mellows a bit although I think mellow is the wrong word. Retreats is more appropriate. The spice and strength are still taking shots at you but from a safer distance behind the shield of the nutty sweetness and the vanilla fog rolling across the battle field.
The flavor remained consistent but builds toward to a good, strong end. Sharp burn with a relatively loose, salt and pepper ash. All in all a great cigar. I will, without question, be ordering more. The price is fantastic and the stick is impeccable. Once again I question the sanity of our good friend Mr. Patel if these are considered seconds.”

“I picked up some Liga B's at the warehouse store when I was driving up on vacation. Let me tell you, these cigars are incredible! They are the RP Sun Grown cigars, one of my absolute favorites. I can't tell the difference. Excellent price for an excellent cigar!”
