Rocky Patel Hamlet 25th Year Anniversary Sixty Cigar – Single

The Rocky Patel Hamlet 25th Year Anniversary Sixty commemorates master blender Hamlet Paredes’ 25-year career, blending Cuban-style craftsmanship with Nicaraguan production. This 6" x 60 vitola uses an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over a Pennsylvania Broadleaf binder, combined with Nicaraguan and Honduran long-fillers. The medium-bodied profile emphasizes slow combustion and balanced construction.

Initial flavors present cedar and earth with mild black pepper, transitioning to toasted almonds and leather in the second third. The final stages reveal espresso notes complemented by cocoa undertones. The Pennsylvania Broadleaf binder contributes a dark chocolate essence detectable in retrohale, while the Honduran filler adds subtle sweetness.

Construction features a slightly oily wrapper leaf with consistent ash retention. The 60-ring gauge facilitates extended smoking time, maintaining a stable burn line without requiring relights. Draw resistance remains minimal throughout the combustion process.

This release marks Paredes’ second collaboration with Rocky Patel following the Hamlet Tabaquero series. Production occurs at Tavicusa Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, utilizing traditional entubado rolling methods for optimal airflow. Box-pressed presentation enhances structural integrity during storage.
