What’s your favorite Alec Bradley and Rocky Patel smokes?

[The camaro show]

So after meeting an old friend from middle school at my new job and discovering he’s a cigar lover we got to talking about cigars of course during work. A lot of my favorite brands he’s never had much from (Crowned heads, Drew Estate and Tat, while I haven’t had many of his favorite brands (Alec Bradley, AF and RP) so of course we are gonna do some trades and splits but I was wondering what are your guys favorite sticks from these brands? I can remember having The Vandal which I remember as pretty good I can also remember remember the sun grown which I think was eh if I remember right. I really like all AF’s but just a brand I don’t buy much off and then RP last one I had was the sun grown maduro which was really good, I believe I had a 2003 vintage that I don’t remember much of.

Never had one from either brand that I thought much of.

I have a soft spot for the AB Maxx from when I was a cigar noob, and the Coyol is not bad. If I had to smoke an RP I’d probably reach for a Decade. Avoid the black and maroon bands from the Vintage line at all costs.

I 2nd that RP sun grown, the one I had was pretty good. It wasnt the maduro.

I tried a slew of both brands when I was starting out but didn't find anything to bring me back.
