Made to mark ten years in the business, and still the cigar most people name first when Rocky Patel comes up. It took a 95 rating and never really came down.
A dark Sumatra wrapper over aged Nicaraguan and Honduran leaf. Rich and layered — sweet cedar, cocoa, a little pepper — with the balance that separates a great cigar from a merely strong one. Sizes from a 4.5-inch Forty Six up to a toro in tubes.
