The Rocky Patel Decade has earned a stellar 95-point rating from Cigar Aficionado and was named one of their Top 25 Cigars of the Year. This medium to full-bodied cigar delivers a smooth, rich, and complex smoking experience, featuring distinct notes of black cherry, roasted coffee, dark spice, and a nutty finish with a light dose of pepper. The cigar offers a well-balanced profile with a long, full finish and lingering sweetness.
Created to commemorate Rocky Patel's tenth anniversary in the cigar industry, the Decade represents the perfect blend 10 years in the making. The cigar showcases a rare, gorgeous Sumatran wrapper surrounding a secret blend featuring only the finest tobaccos in the world. Manufactured in Honduras, it features an Ecuador Sumatra wrapper carefully paired with Nicaraguan binder and filler tobacco. Released to celebrate Rocky's first ten years in the cigar business, the Decade cigar line represents what might be the pinnacle of his achievements.
Cigar Aficionado described the Decade as "pressed and dark with a draw that delivers substantial smoke", noting "the flavors are rich and complex with leather, nuts, black cherry and a balancing spiciness that resonates on the palate". Each vitola offers its own special twist on the earthy flavors that abound throughout, with the Torpedo finding the sweet spot with perfectly balanced tastes.
