I like the Patina Connecticut Copper. It has a good flavor profile that has depth and complexity. There is not a ton of transitioning, but there are shifts in the flavor profile throughout the cigar that help deliver a good experience. The body and strength match with the flavor profile, and this is a cigar that will speak to many smokers. With a great burn and draw, this is a cigar I will come back to in the future.
This Patina Red Pill 5x54 BP is a proper rustic cigar type experience. The combination of earthy minerals and spice paired with the chocolate notes were outstanding and made me want to go back for more and more. No doubt I'll gladly have some of these in my humidor.
I loved this Patina LE 2024, and found it captured all the tobacco present in the cigar. It had the qualities of Broadleaf, Mexican San Andres, Nicaraguan and USA. It was rich and full in body from start to finish. The flavor profile of anise, malts, coffee and dark cocoa were great, and it had a long finish as well. The construction was fantastic, and the size was perfect for a blend of this nature. Patina has been on a roll, and I am always looking forward to their next release.
The Patina Oro de Nicaragua Toro is fantastic, right up there with the Anniversary, and completely different at the same time. This is the way to do it. Great flavor profile on this cigar with the body delivered. The profile really spoke to me as a smoker right now. Fuller in body and strength with complexity and depth throughout. Great stick that I hope many enjoy as much as I did.
I found this Patina Anniversary to be a great Broadleaf offering. Great Anniversary cigar. The Broadleaf profile is not revolutionary, but it is a very good profile. There is this NACSA quality to the Broadleaf as well that I really enjoy. I feel like NACSA has this rustic quality that is old school flavors with strength and body. It's an enjoyable mineral spice that has richness, sweetness and pepper. Great Patina release.
I'm a bit taken back by how much I enjoyed the Patina Maduro Rustic. My experience with Patina has been for the most part lackluster. Granted the Maduro was never made at Casa Favilli, if this is an indication of all his lines tasting better as a result of the production move, I say winner, winner Patina dinner. Will not hesitate to return to this.
