Rocky Patel 15th Anniversary
The brand earned a 93 point rating in Cigar Aficionado and appeared on the magazine’s Top 25 Cigars of the Year list an unprecedented four times – 2010, 2011, 2013, and 2018. Patel owns part of this cigar factory, which operates much like a fabrica in Little Havana or Cuba proper, making cigars with two binder leaves and finishing the heads with triple-seam caps. They are delicious smokes, none finer than the Toro, which is nutty and rich, with lots of hickory flavor on the palate. Said to be the Decade on steroids, the cigar has spicy pepper finish with the combination of earth, espresso and sweet chocolate.
