Rocky Patel is based in Honduras, but LB1 is the proof that the factory understands Nicaraguan leaf just as well — and some of the richest tobacco in the world grows there.
Full-flavoured and dense, with sweet earth, cocoa and a peppery edge. Four sizes, including a 44-ring corona for anyone who prefers the classic proportions.
Wrapper: Nicaraguan
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan long-filler
Strength: Medium to full
Sizes: Toro (6.5" x 52), Sixty (6.0" x 60), Corona (6.0" x 44), Robusto (5.5" x 50)
The corona is the one to try first. Narrow ring, maximum wrapper influence.
