OSG? What the HELL... Three Letter Acronyms for a friggin' cigar?

Rocky Patel 'OSG'

Initial Thoughts

I got these on a "CI" special, and thought "hey... these are Rocky Patels.... they've gotta be good."  Physically, the cigar is a redish brown, and is nothing short of gorgeous.  No visible blemishes, and I can't find any soft spots.  Sniff test... mmmm... smells slightly sweet.  If it stands up to what I'm expecting, this is gonna be a great smoke!

The Smoke

I clip the cap, toast the foot and take my first puff.  I have to say... Mr. Patel definitely did NOT disappoint!  Toasty, with a hint of sweetness, and in a word... smooooth!  Plenty of billowy white smoke too :).  I have to admit, this is a REALLY tasty cigar!!

At the 1/3 point, the burn and draw are basically perfect, plenty of toasty flavor, and I'm noticing a hint of peppery flavor as well.  at the 2/3 point, the peppery flavor is a little stronger, and this cigar is clearly on the upper end of medium/lower end of full bodied.

After 30 minutes, the cigar is done, and I'll admit, I wish I had purchased a bigger size.  According to the CI site, these will never be produced again.  I'm thinkin' I'm definitely going to have to purchase some more before they're gone.
