In commemoration of his birth year, Rocky Patel has released a new cigar called the Rocky Patel 1961, the fullest bodied cigar in the Rocky Patel line.
Rocky Patel 1961 is a smoking experience that yields an impressive, robust taste with rich, complex flavors and a smooth, elegant finish. Offered in Robusto, Torpedo, Toro, and Corona sizes. This medium-to full-bodied cigar was masterfully blended with a Habano seed wrapper from Ecuador, a Honduran binder and Nicaraguan fillers. The result is a smoke that’s rich and spicy, yet smooth and elegant.
The Rocky Patel 1961 is the inaugural brand hailing from Rocky’s newest cigar factory in Nicaragua called Tabacalera Villa Cuba. It’s sure to be the first of many great new cigars to join an already outstanding brand portfolio.
