Tasting Notes

This cigar celebrates a cigar brand mainstay's 10 years in the cigar industry. With notes of black cherry, chocolate, and nuts, this balanced cigar provides one with an oily dense and creamy texture

The Rocky Patel Emerald stands out as the first box-pressed cigar from the industry icon that has been designed to be on the lighter side of medium-bodied.

Crafted with precision, the Emerald features an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper complemented by dual binders—one from Nicaragua and another from Mexico. The filler predominantly consists of Nicaraguan tobacco, with the addition of a single leaf from the Jamastran Valley in Honduras, enhancing its complexity. This combination results in a truly medium-bodied cigar, offering a harmonious balance of flavors.

Rocky Patel's Meritage Blend is a superb small-batch blend of several extremely uncommon vintage tobaccos. For a full year, this release has been maturing in Rocky's aging room in the Honduran factory. A remarkable Nicaraguan Corojo wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder, and a very special three-country filler combination from Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama compose this amazing blend. This is a cigar that delivers a great variety of flavors as a result of the unique tobacco combination and the prolonged aging process. From the minute you light the cigar to end, the smoke is rich and smooth.

Tasting Notes:

Beautifully aged tobaccos are rolled up with a dark Habano Corojo leaf. This is a strong and bold cigar that is also well balanced with smooth flavors of pepper, hickory and molasses. The Edge is a crescendo that slowly elevates to a powerful assortment of spice. A gradually complex smoke you’re bound to love. 

The 1990 Vintage is a medium-bodied cigar leaning more toward the milder side. This cigar is highlighted by a 12-year-old Honduran Broadleaf wrapper that has softened in strength over the years, yet gained in complexity and character. Renowned for its elegance and balance, the 92-rated 1990 Vintage has twice been placed in Cigar Aficionado's top 25 Cigars of the Year.

Known for its extremely sticky smoke, this premium cigar blend serves up sweet fruit leather like licorice notes, along with dry cedar and a hay-like finish that is fortified with roasted pecan nuts.
