Rocky Patel Tabaquero Robusto Cigar – Single

The Rocky Patel Tabaquero Robusto measures 5x50 and features a San Andres wrapper from Mexico. This cigar utilizes a dual-binder structure combining Brazilian and Mexican tobacco leaves. The filler consists of Nicaraguan long-leaf tobaccos selected by master roller Hamlet Paredes, marking his first non-Cuban tobacco project after defecting from Cuba through Rocky Patel's assistance.

Developed at Rocky Patel's Naples, Florida facility, the Tabaquero Robusto undergoes 120-day fermentation for its Nicaraguan filler leaves. The cigar's draw resistance measures 2.5-3.0 inches H2O at mid-section, indicating optimal airflow for smoke production. Pairing compatibility extends to aged rums and espresso-based beverages due to the profile's spice-forward character.
