This exceptional cigar received a 96-point rating from Cigar Aficionado, noted for completely saturating the palate in rich layers of nutmeg, German chocolate cake and shredded coconut. The blend delivers bold, chewy flavors of dark fruit, earth, toasted wood, and espresso, and was ranked #4 on Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 cigars of 2023. This is a full-bodied blend featuring a San Andres wrapper encasing a Nicaraguan binder and filler tobacco.
Rolled at Rocky's TAVICUSA factory in Nicaragua, these box-pressed gems come stuffed with the best fillers from Rocky's own farms and are lovingly wrapped in a dark, oily Mexican San Andres wrapper before being laid down for a two year cedar nap. The Second Edition is a completely new blend consisting of a Mexican San Andrés wrapper and Nicaraguan tobaccos grown on Patel's farms in Estelí and Condega. Limited to only 120,000 cigars, this exclusive blend is a rare gem coveted by enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Each A.L.R. Second Edition cigar is aged for two years after it's rolled before going to market, with Patel claiming that these cigars get a two-year resting period for maturation and added levels of complexity. ALR stands for 'Aged, Limited, Rare', and only 2,000 boxes of the Toro size were created, with Patel releasing these smokes in batches as they come of age in his Nicaraguan factory.
