Sweet, full, round. Smoking HU Rocinante is like snacking on dried mulberries, raisins, and dark apricots. It's a blend dominated by dark and red Virginias, Kentucky & Perique add subtle smokiness & white pepper-like finish. It reminds me of a well-aged Hal O' the Wynd and a different approach to Director's Cut. Rocinante is not necessarily the same, but you can easily understand it's born out of a similar idea. I always prided myself in recognizing an HU blend from a simple whiff. But I must admit, if I had tasted this particular blend blindly, then I could call it a Rattray's blend without thinking twice. I've recently tried 11 years old Brown Clunee, which was very similar to Rocinante in several aspects. Even though they are professionally aged for two years, there's a hint of hay-like, grassy scent and a slightly nutty taste with the butter-like aftertaste. Highly recommended for those who do not want to wait for several years to sip on well-aged tobacco. Highly Recommended.
