Rocky Patel A.L.R. 2nd Edition Cigars

Cigar Aficionado 96-Rated

In 2017, Rocky blended a cigar featuring a Mexican San Andres wrapper. Rocky had decided that this great blend would develop even further with aging, so he ordered a short production run of 100,000 cigars. According to Patel, each A.L.R. Second Edition cigar is aged for two years after it’s rolled before going to market. While the component tobaccos are already aged, Patel claims that these cigars get a two-year resting period for maturation and added levels of complexity. This probably contributes to the cost. Few Rocky Patel cigars are this expensive. Now these fine cigars are complete – silky, complex, full-bodied and ready to savor!

The Second Edition here is a completely new blend consisting of a Mexican San Andrés wrapper and Nicaraguan tobaccos grown on Patel’s farms in Estelí and Condega. Patel started growing tobacco a few years ago and now his tobaccos are starting to appear in his cigars, giving the portfolio an entirely new facet. This box-pressed Toro has all the sweet, satisfying qualities of malted chocolate and vanilla bean, balanced by an uplifting hint of fresh, shredded coconut. Only 2,000 boxes of this size were created, but Patel will be releasing these smokes in batches as they come of age in his Nicaraguan factory.
