Rocky Patel Tabaquero Salomon Cigar – Single

The Rocky Patel Tabaquero Salomon features a 7.6" x 58 Salomon shape developed by master roller Hamlet Paredes. Crafted with a San Andres maduro wrapper, the cigar combines Brazilian Mata Fina and Mexican San Andres binders with Nicaraguan filler tobaccos from Estelí and Jalapa regions. This marks Paredes' first collaboration using non-Cuban tobaccos after transitioning to work with Rocky Patel in Florida.

The medium-bodied profile reveals spice and cocoa notes transitioning to coffee and earth through the smoke cycle. Secondary flavors include black pepper and cream textures, with a combustion system that maintains 68-72°F internal temperature for optimal smoke output. The tapered head design promotes airflow management through the densely packed filler leaves.

• Wrapper: San Andres Maduro
• Binder: Brazilian Mata Fina + Mexican San Andres
• Filler: Nicaraguan Estelí Ligero + Jalapa Seco

Construction utilizes a 98/102 caping technique with 22-24 ring gauge variation along the Salomon's tapered body. The cigar requires 45-55 minute smoking duration, producing 1.5-2 liters of smoke volume. Pairing recommendations include barrel-proof spirits above 50% ABV to complement the tobacco's 12-14% natural sugar content.
