Surprise! New cigars from Rocky!

NCRadioMan · 08-11-2009, 11:08 AM

He has also opened a new factory in Nic. and these will be made there in Esteli, Nicaragua at Tabacalera Villa Cuba.

The two new blends which will highlight his new Nicaraguan production include:

Patel Brothers, the realization of the long-discussed collaboration between Rocky and his brother Nish on a full-bodied, richly-flavored cigar. This new blend uses Nicaraguan-grown leaves for the binder and filler, but wrapped in a surprising Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper! Sizes:

> Robusto 5 inches by 50 ring
> Torpedo 5 1/2 inches by 50 ring
> Toro 6 inches by 52 ring
> Super Toro 6 1/4 inches by 52 ring

All sizes will be offered in boxes of 20.

Rocky Patel 1961, named for the year Rocky Patel was born, is a medium-to-full-bodied cigar with Nicaraguan-grown filler leaves, a Honduran binder and an Ecuadorian-grown, Habano-seed wrapper. Rocky Patel Premium Cigars director of marketing Sam Phillips characterizes it as “rich and spicy, yet smooth and elegant.” Sizes:

> Robusto 5 inches by 50 ring
> Torpedo 5 1/2 inches by 50 ring
> Toro 6 inches by 52 ring
> Corona 5 1/2 inches by 44 ring

All sizes in this blend are also offered in boxes of 20.

Also included, a bundled cigar, the Rocky Patel Corojo Especial, the second in a series which he began last year with the Cameroon Especial – one of the best values in his line-up. The Corojo Especial has a Cuban-seed Corojo wrapper and Nicaraguan-grown binder and filler leaves for a medium-bodied heft. Phillips calls the taste “robust and earthy with a sultry spice.”

The sizes for this line are the same as for the Cameroon Especial:

> Robusto 5 inches by 50 ring
> Torpedo 5 1/2 inches by 50 ring
> Toro 6 inches by 52 ring

As with the Cameroon Especial, this blend will be available in bundles of 20.

I met Nish last month. Nice cat.

This seems a little silly, though.

Ah- the famous 'all things to all people' special! A crowd-pleaser, that one.

Yeah, but his taste good.

I know some folks don't care for Rocky, but I like quite a few of his smokes. He certainly believes in keeping active.

I saw a new one from RP on the Holts catalog cover, called Royal Order.
Heck, I've only had one Ocean Club, and they've been out for months.

I'm due for a trip to Holts at the end of the month. Might pick up some
just to try them.

Not entirely. I bought some Ocean Clubs from them last month.

Nice! Rocky goes Nicaraguan

shilala · 08-11-2009, 09:20 PM

I try to save them up and send them to Chas.
I can't find one I like. I do like Tabac Fuerte's though. Go figure?

TripleF · 08-11-2009, 09:28 PM

Can't wait to get my hands on some of these

Daddy likey RP!

08-11-2009, 11:00 PM

I'm a fan. Can't wait to give it a try.

08-11-2009, 11:03 PM

I have been avoiding Rocky lately but I love corojo wrappers.

Coach Deg · 08-11-2009, 11:26 PM

Can't wait to try!!!!! Thanks for the update!

Mr. Ed · 08-11-2009, 11:27 PM

The Vigilante (the only place I've seen them is at CI) is an awsome mild smoke on the cheap. I'm always open to trying a new RP.

Is it me or do a lot of new releases seem to be only coming out in 50 RG or bigger? I would like to see a lot more corona, corona gorda, panatela, PC, lancero type smokes.

ultramag · 08-11-2009, 11:31 PM

The 1961 and Corojo Especial sound like something I could see myself at least trying. Sure wish they'd discover a vitola besides robusto and toro though myself.
