This is a medium-bodied smoke overall that showcases a stunning Connecticut wrapper with a flavor profile so bold. Notes of almond and nougat take shape while a toasty undercurrent of vanilla bean and crème brûlée define the flavor profile, complemented by cedar, nuts, and spice. The cigar starts out with a gentle yet brilliant succession of earthy, nutty, slightly sweet, and peppery tasting notes before revealing deeper nuances of herbs, lemony citrus, and cream.
Crafted at Rocky Patel's very own factory in Esteli, Nicaragua, specifically the TaviCusa factory, this cigar represents over a decade of development. For over 10 years Rocky tried to find the perfect name and brand to go along with this amazing composition of Nicaragua's finest. According to Rocky Patel Premium Cigars, the Rocky Patel White Label contains tobaccos that have been aged ten years. Connecticut shade tobacco grown in the U.S.A. is becoming harder and harder to come by, making this blend particularly special as it features a Connecticut Shade wrapper that comes from the U.S.
Connoisseurs who want to taste a top-shelf blend from Rocky will be impressed, though newer cigar lovers who are exploring the Rocky Patel portfolio might find White Label a little pricey at over twenty bucks apiece. Halfwheel awarded Rocky Patel White Label cigars a 92-point rating. Pairing suggestions include tequila, gin cocktails, fine wine, whisky, or cappuccino.
