Rocky Patel Hamlet 25th Year Anniversary Robusto Cigar – Single

The Rocky Patel Hamlet 25th Year Anniversary Robusto commemorates Cuban cigar blender Hamlet Paredes’ 25-year career. Produced in Nicaragua, this medium-bodied cigar combines an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper with a Pennsylvania Broadleaf binder and Nicaraguan/Honduran filler tobaccos. Measuring 5.5” x 50, the Robusto vitola reflects traditional Cuban-style rolling techniques while showcasing Nicaraguan tobacco richness.

Construction:

• Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano
• Binder: Pennsylvania Broadleaf
• Filler: Nicaraguan and Honduran blend
• Size: 5.5” x 50 (Robusto)

Flavor progression begins with cedar, earth, and black pepper notes. Mid-smoke reveals toasted almonds, coffee, and leather tones, supported by caramel undertones. The retrohale delivers cocoa and baking spice accents. Pennsylvania Broadleaf binder contributes earthy depth while maintaining balance between strength and smoothness.

Performance characteristics include consistent combustion and open draw. The Habano wrapper’s oily sheen indicates well-aged tobacco, while the box-pressed shape ensures even smoke output. Ash retention averages 1.5” before natural shedding.

This limited-production cigar comes packaged in 20-count boxes with 25th anniversary branding. Current availability varies across authorized Rocky Patel retailers.
