The Rocky Patel Year of the Snake is a limited-edition cigar created to commemorate the Chinese Zodiac's Year of the Snake in 2025. This premium blend delivers a medium to full-bodied smoking experience with a rich and elegant profile featuring notes of coffee, dark chocolate, and subtle floral undertones. The U.S. version is crafted for a medium-full strength profile, while an international variant offers a more balanced medium-bodied experience with a different wrapper.
Made exclusively at Rocky Patel's acclaimed TAVICUSA factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, this cigar represents the company's commitment to ultra-premium craftsmanship. Following the success of the 2024 Year of the Dragon release, this marks the second Chinese Zodiac cigar from Rocky Patel Premium Cigars. The cigar is constructed with meticulous attention to detail, featuring dense, oily wrappers that conceal a precisely packed core of aged filler leaves, resulting in a slow-burning, perfectly balanced smoke with a razor-sharp burn and sturdy ash.
With only 6,000 ten-count boxes produced for the U.S. market, the Year of the Snake represents one of Rocky Patel's most exclusive and ultra-premium releases. The cigar features luxurious red and gold packaging with both a primary band and large sleeve, paying homage to the Chinese New Year tradition while maintaining the sophisticated presentation standards that Rocky Patel Premium Cigars is known for.
