Rocky Patel White Label Robusto Cigar – Single [May’s Cigar of the Month]

Produced at Rocky Patel’s factory in Esteli, Nicaragua, the White Label Robusto uses a Connecticut Shade wrapper grown in the USA. This medium-bodied cigar combines a Nicaraguan binder with Honduran and Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos, including specially aged leaves for enhanced depth. The blend delivers cedar and cream flavors with a sweet aftertaste.

Construction:

• Size: 5" x 50 ring gauge
• Wrapper: Connecticut Shade (USA-grown)
• Binder: Aged Nicaraguan tobacco
• Fillers: Nicaraguan and Honduran long-leaf tobaccos

The Connecticut Shade wrapper exhibits a smooth texture with visible oil sheen. Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers create a balanced combustion, while the aged binder contributes to the cigar’s structural integrity. The White Label Robusto’s composition ensures consistent draw and even burn.

Flavor Development:

Initial notes include creamy cedar and roasted nuts, accompanied by subtle white pepper. Mid-smoke transitions to buttery toast and caramelized vanilla, maintaining medium strength. The retrohale introduces cocoa powder and nutmeg, culminating in a sweet, velvety finish with lingering creaminess.

Packaged in a white leather case with rose gold detailing, the Rocky Patel White Label Robusto represents the brand’s first Connecticut-wrapped cigar manufactured in Nicaragua. The design emphasizes minimalist luxury, aligning with the series’ focus on refined aesthetics.
