Rocky Patel Number 6 Corona Cigar – Single

The Rocky Patel Number 6 Corona measures 6 inches in length with a 44-ring gauge, featuring a tighter draw for concentrated flavor delivery. This vitola uses an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper with visible oil content, paired with Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos.

Tobacco Composition and Construction

Constructed with a Honduran Corojo wrapper in earlier iterations, the current Rocky Patel Number 6 Corona employs an Ecuadorian Habano leaf. The binder and filler blend combines Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos, selected for combustion properties and flavor compatibility. The cigar maintains consistent ash formation and even burn lines during smoking sessions.

Flavor Progression

The Rocky Patel Number 6 Corona opens with primary notes of cedar and black pepper, transitioning to mid-smoke flavors of roasted almonds and cocoa powder. Secondary characteristics include detectable earth tones and a caramel sweetness in the final third. Retrohale analysis reveals traces of nutmeg and cinnamon spice elements.

Performance Characteristics

Smoke output measures medium volume with cool combustion temperatures throughout. The 44-ring gauge configuration produces a smoke duration averaging 65-75 minutes. Draw resistance registers in the medium-firm range, requiring 2-3 priming puffs per minute for optimal combustion.

This Honduran-made cigar showcases Rocky Patel's blending approach with Nicaraguan/Honduran tobacco integration. The Corona format emphasizes flavor density through its tapered dimensions and compact smoke channel design.
