The Rocky Patel Gold Label is a medium to full-bodied cigar featuring an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, dual Connecticut Shade and Connecticut Broadleaf binders, and aged Nicaraguan filler tobacco from the revered regions of Jalapa and Esteli. This sophisticated smoke delivers earthy nuances, luscious caramel undertones, bold coffee flavors, and a lingering sweetness that leaves a lasting impression of indulgence. The Gold Label has received a 93-point rating, with reviewers noting its even burn and draw, featuring tart wood that turns leathery and oaky, with accents of green apple, red pepper, cocoa powder, and hints of almond before the spicy finish. According to Nish Patel, Executive Vice President of Rocky Patel Premium Cigars, Rocky had this blend for a long time and wanted something with rich flavor, describing it as a very smooth, medium-bodied cigar. Released in July 2024 and manufactured at the Tavicusa factory in Nicaragua, the Gold Label represents Rocky Patel's commitment to creating premium cigars with exceptional presentation at accessible price points. Each cigar is fittingly dressed in glorious gold with luxurious packaging reminiscent of wood found in luxury cars, finished with gold trim that gleams brightly—very on par with signature Rocky Patel presentations. This medium-bodied smoke bursts with strong notes of caramel, coffee, espresso and licorice-like sweetness delivered in waves of complexity, making it an ideal pairing with rich Cabernet Sauvignon, stout beers like Guinness, or double espresso for coffee drinkers. Despite its luxurious appearance and decadent name, the Gold Label was designed by Rocky Patel to be an everyday smoker with approachable pricing, meeting at the crossroads of extravagance and economy with cigars under $15 that look like they could be worth $100.
