Rocky Patel Vintage 1992 Torpedo (second)

Posted on 2010/02/02 by Dave

I thought I’d give this a go as I’d heard good reports on the seconds ie. indistinguishable from the proper one. I don’t have a lot to tell you in all honesty. Construction and burn were good, taste wasn’t particularly … Continue reading →
