Rocky Patel Emerald

Rockey Patel dropped something different this time. The Rocky Patel Emerald Box Pressed Toro 6.5x52 stands out as the first box-pressed cigar designed to be on the lighter side of medium-bodied. It’s a departure from the brand’s usual medium-to-full powerhouse lineup. When a brand with countless 90 ratings decide to switch things up, it’s hard to ignore. Rolled at the Tabacalera Villa Cuba S.A. factory in Esteli, they’ve built a beautifully constructed cigar that wears a shiny green sheath. When you slip that off, you’re greeted by the smooth brown Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. Dual binders from Nicaragua and Mexico give the cigar unique foundation. The Nicaraguan tobacco and single Honduran leaf provide the medium-bodied experience you’re not used to. Expect notes of baking spices, rich leather, and notes that shift at every draw. Its approachable medium strength makes it perfect for all smokers. Order your box of 20 at Cigars.com.
