Rocky Patel Royale
This 94 rated beauty is really a cigar fit for a king. It may be medium in body, but it is full of flavor. Its Ecuadorian wrapper adds in lovely notes of nice and pepper. Its binder is a velvety smooth Connecticut leaf that makes it slightly sweet and creamy. Its filler is a combination of Honduran and Nicaraguan aged tobaccos, giving it an unusual yet enticing profile of earth, leather and sweet spice. It is balanced, smooth, and incredibly flavorful.
Rocky Patel 15th Anniversary
In celebrating his 15th year in the cigar industry, Rocky released one of his strongest and most highly rated cigars yet. The 15th Anniversary is what Rocky calls the Decade on steroids. It uses aged Nicaraguan filler and binder, along with a dark and rich Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. It is bold and spicy with notes of coffee, nuts, dark pepper, and a finishing sweet spice towards the end. Rocky's Anniversary editions have always been spectacular, and this one is no exception.
Rocky Patel Edge Habano
The Rocky Patel Edge put the company on the map. Not one to sit on his laurels, Rocky decided to come out with a spicier, edgier version. The result was the highly rated Edge Habano. It is a Nicaraguan puro using a blend of tobaccos from the three main regions of Nicaragua: Esteli, Condega, and Jalapa. Mixed with the Habano seed wrapper, the result is a flavorful and complex smoke that Cigar Aficionado named #7 Cigar of the year.
Rocky Patel Sun Grown Maduro
This remains one of Rocky Patel's highest rated creations, and a favorite for us here at Cigars.com. The Sun grown Maduro brings two flavorful styles together for a complex gem that was named the #2 Cigar of the Year and garnered a 95 rating. Its Broadleaf Maduro Sun grown wrapper combines the rich, chocolatey notes of a maduro with the pepper and zest of a sun grown. It is bold, full, flavorful, yet maintains that signature smoothness from a Rocky cigar. This a must have for any aficionado.
