After what seems like an eternity, Klaro has finally received its first order of the Rocky Patel Emerald, and hot damn are we green with excitement about smoking and promoting this premium cigar blend!

Marketed for "...offering cigar enthusiasts a refined and approachable smoking experience..." the latest addition to the Rocky Patel core line is blended for those searching for something box-pressed, but also on the milder-bodied end of medium. 

Long known for formulating its box-pressed blends around the smoking preferences of medium-to full cigar buyers, Emerald makes its debut as the first box-pressed smoke from Rocky Patel that languishes on the lighter side of medium-bodied. 

The blend consists of an Ecuadorian-grown, milk chocolate-colored habano wrapper, a duo of binders hailing from Nicaragua and Mexico, and a long-filler blend that is almost entirely Nicaraguan save for one mystery leaf pulled from the Jamastran Valley in Honduras. This meticulous blend results in a medium-bodied cigar with a touch of natural sweetness, making it both complex and accessible.

The result is a velvety smooth medium-bodied smoking experience that provides just enough sweetness to accentuate tasting notes of creamy cocoa, light soil, tree nuts, leather, and staves of Spanish cedar. 

With Rocky Patel Cigars promising that the Emerald line "...balances flavor, construction, and smoothness..." while maintaining mild-medium cigar flavor profiles and a more subdued body, we get the feeling that this stick is destined to earn a top spot as one of the best box-pressed new premium cigar blends on the market today.
