The Rocky Patel Sun Grown Maduro is a full-bodied cigar featuring a Connecticut broadleaf maduro wrapper over dual binders and Nicaraguan long-fillers. This well-balanced stick captured notoriety in 2016 by earning the #2 ranking in Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 Cigars of the Year, along with a 95-point rating that solidified the Sun Grown Maduro brand as Rocky's Nicaraguan classic. The cigars are trunk-pressed and harmonize beautifully, imparting earthy, nutty notes and bittersweet chocolate with the sweeter properties of the wrapper.
