The Rocky Patel Catch 22 is a medium-bodied cigar featuring a Corojo wrapper with an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and filler tobaccos from Honduras and Mexico. This well-balanced blend produces abundant notes of cocoa, earth, and spices, along with hints of sweetness, cedar, and white pepper that settles into a rich, earthy medley. The name "Catch 22" reflects Rocky Patel's philosophy that this cigar is being sold for less than it is actually worth - that's the "catch".
The cigars are handcrafted in Honduras at the General Cigar's HATSA factory, maintaining Rocky Patel's reputation for consistent quality and construction. Construction is precise and clean, with a nearly seamless roll and an easy, smooth draw. This blend embodies a paradoxical level of value and quality that makes it Rocky Patel's finest budget-priced cigar yet, representing the brand's commitment to offering premium cigars at accessible price points.
Appropriate for cigar enthusiasts of all experience levels, the Catch 22's earthy and spicy characteristics make it an excellent pairing with bourbon, scotch, or black coffee. The blend has received recognition from industry reviewers, with Blind Man's Puff awarding it a 92-point rating.
