Rocky Patel Sun Grown

Introduced in 2004, this spicy cigar has some kick to get you through those cold winter nights. The wrapper is no less than 5 years old, and this destined-to-be-classic follow up to the Vintage by Rocky Patel is a top-notch premium. Expect the rich blend of choice tobaccos from Brazil, the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua to jump start your palate with hugely complex flavors, while the aged Ecuadorian sun-grown Sumatran wrapper delivers a spicy sweet element that you can savor right down to the nub. We found that this smooth smoke begins with a full force intensity and finishes with a long-lasting earthy, full-bodied finish. We love this cigar, and Cigar Aficionado agrees (they recently named this among their Top 50 Cigars, with a '90' rating noting that “it's earthy and spicy, with a cedar base and a tangy finish.” A full tawny port or VSOP Cognac are the only way to match this stogie’s prowess.
