Rocky Patel Mulligans Bogey Club Staff Review

Rocky Patel Mulligans Bogey Club is a new arrival in the vast bundle partition of our Holt’s warehouse. It’s in your best interests to break open a few new bundles you can toss in the coolerdor before we head into football tailgating season, when you’ll need good cigars you can pass out to your pals that don’t cost an arm and a leg. That’s why I’m reviewing this new Mulligans cigar from Rocky Patel in a 6.5-by-52 Torpedo called the Shank.

Rocky Patel is a master at making great cigars you can smoke casually. He’s eager to share his latest blends in the Mulligans franchise for an insane discount at Holt’s. Rocky’s more interested in finding out how much people like these cigars than in making a big buck. That’s how he decides what new cigars to work on next.

Demand for the golf-themed Mulligans brand has grown so explosively in recent years that Mulligans blends receive the lion’s share of coverage in my cigar reviews. There are enough Mulligans to choose from today, it would take weeks to smoke them all on your own. With Bogey Club, you’re getting an authentic Connecticut Shade wrapper over a well-aged recipe of Dominican and Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos, and you’ve got five classic sizes to consider, including the Torpedo I’m about to fire up.

As I’ve admitted many times before, my golf game leaves much to be desired, but that’s because I place far more emphasis on what I’m smoking than how I swing the club. I have to focus on what I do best. Few folks are better qualified than I to evaluate the flavor and affordability of Rocky Patel Mulligans cigars due to my infinite affinity for bargain-priced bundles on account of my lavish cigar consumption.

Bogey Club beams with a creamy bouquet of fresh coffee, wheat, and shaved cedar the second the cellophane is off. I can’t help but admire the golden, oily complexion of this fine handmade when I hold it up to the light. It looks and smells fantastic before my lighter is anywhere near it.

After toasting the foot of the cigar with my trusty Rocky Patel Jetline Double Torch Lighter, which I got for free during a recent promotion at Holt’s, Bogey Club gets down to business with a brilliant profile of crème brûlée and almond milk with delightful hints of pepper. The cigar’s impeccable draw bathes my palate with a seamless sequence of smooth and malty streams of smoke throughout the first fifteen minutes while a sturdy ash gathers at the foot.

Notes of almond and oak commence in the second half with a touch of smoked maple while the foundation of Bogey Club is rounded out by cedar and coffee bean flavors. My finely tuned taste receptors detect additional traces of saffron and coriander, but I don’t mean to sound too fancy. The Bogey Club blend starts out around four bucks per cigar for a Robusto. Bundles of Mulligans from Rocky Patel make perfect sense when you just want a reliable smoke for a great price.

I’m happy to strip the bands off and commit to finishing the Shank until it’s too hot for my fingers to pinch. I’m pleasantly surprised by how approachable the taste and draw remain in the final stretch. This stellar Torpedo lacks any bitterness as its smoky and nutty profile concludes with well-defined notes of baking spices and wood throughout the cigar’s finish. Bogey Club begins mild but ends with more backbone, courtesy of a creamy finale of white pepper. IMHO, put a bundle of Bogey Club in your next order without delay and avoid filling your coolerdor with some other overpriced box for your pals to pillage in front of the flat screen. Your bank account will thank me!

Until next time, long ashes to you!
