Rocky Patel Grand Reserve Toro Cigar – Single

The Rocky Patel Grand Reserve Toro debuted in April 2018 during the Mountain on Fire event in the Austrian Alps. Initially exclusive to European markets, this cigar features a proprietary blend of aged tobaccos from Rocky Patel’s reserve stock. After production, the cigars underwent a two-year aging process. The line includes three vitolas: Toro (6x52), Robusto (5.5x50), and Sixty (6x60).

Tobacco Composition and Construction

The Rocky Patel Grand Reserve Toro uses Nicaraguan and Honduran filler tobaccos combined with a San Andrés Maduro wrapper. The 6x52 Toro format ensures a medium-to-full-bodied smoking experience. Its construction maintains a consistent burn and even ash formation.

Flavor Characteristics

• Primary notes: Earth, leather, and black pepper spice
• Secondary nuances: Cocoa powder and roasted coffee beans
• Texture: Creamy smoke output with balanced sweetness

Performance and Pairing

The Rocky Patel Grand Reserve Toro provides a slow-burning experience due to its densely packed filler. The open draw facilitates steady smoke production. Pairing options include bourbon, espresso, or dark chocolate to complement its earthy-spicy profile.

Availability Information

European distribution began in October 2018. U.S. consumers can acquire this cigar through international travel or specialty retailers. The Grand Reserve series remains distinct from Rocky Patel’s core lineup, emphasizing aged tobacco and limited production.
