The Rocky Patel Number 6 is a medium-bodied cigar that earned its name from being the sixth test blend during development, which Rocky Patel selected as the winning formula. With a 95-rating from Cigar Aficionado and named the #9 Cigar of 2020, this blend showcases a distinctive sweetness that sets it apart from other Rocky Patel offerings. Nish Patel describes it as having 'a lot of sweetness' and being 'totally different than anything we've ever put out.' The cigar delivers a complex flavor profile featuring notes of honey, vanilla, coffee, earth, bread, cocoa, orange peel, and black pepper, with a cohesive taste that unfolds in layers before finding harmony in a spicy, nutty finish.
Handcrafted at Rocky Patel's El Paraiso factory in Danli, Honduras, the Number 6 represents the brand's commitment to quality and innovation. The factory, which opened in 2017, is one of the most important facilities for Rocky Patel's cigar production, featuring modern equipment and skilled workers who maintain strict quality control throughout the manufacturing process. The cigar utilizes a Honduran-grown Corojo wrapper that encases carefully selected tobaccos from Rocky's own farms, demonstrating the brand's vertical integration and attention to detail.
This medium-bodied smoke appeals to both mild and medium-to-full-bodied smokers alike, offering consistent construction with an even burn and solid ash. The Number 6 provides a smooth, enjoyable smoking experience whether paired with morning coffee or evening spirits, making it suitable for golfers and casual smokers. Cigar Journal named the Number 6 Robusto 'Best Cigar Honduras 2020,' further cementing its reputation as an exceptional offering from the Rocky Patel portfolio.
