Vitola: Toro
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano
Origin: RP factory in Nicaragua
Age: Pre-Release – super fresh!
I received an e-mail from the folks at Rocky Patel asking if I would be interested in trying a pre-release of Rocky’s 15th Anniversary cigar. I said sure, and the cigars were at my doorsteps faster than you can say Ecuadorian Habano-seed wrapper.
I received two, this review is for the first one I smoked. Taking in to consideration that this is a pre-release you sometimes have to over look any youthful characteristics in the smoke.
The cigar has a very dark wrapper for being an Ecuadorian Habano-seed, and looks like it might have a kick to it. Considering this nice looking box-pressed cigar has all Nicaraguan filler in it, I thought it may be a welcome departure from the usual RP Honduran flavor profile.
