Rocky Patel Tabaquero Salomon Cigar – Single

The Rocky Patel Tabaquero Salomon features a San Andres wrapper with Brazilian and Mexican binders surrounding Nicaraguan long-filler tobacco. Developed by former Cuban roller Hamlet Paredes, this 7.6" x 58 Salomon-shaped cigar represents Paredes' first collaboration after transitioning to non-Cuban tobaccos through work at Rocky Patel’s Burn Lounge in Naples, Florida.

Flavor Profile and Construction

The blend delivers spice and cocoa notes with secondary coffee and earthy undertones. Medium-bodied characteristics combine with Cuban-style richness through precise construction techniques, maintaining a slow burn rate and firm ash structure. The tapered Salomon shape promotes consistent airflow for gradual flavor evolution across the smoking session.

• Black pepper through the initial third
• Cocoa powder mid-palate transition
