Rocky Patel Gold Label Half Corona
Watch out! A small format that will keep you hooked! Make sure you've got a full belly and plenty of water, because this is one powerful ride!
Tasting note
From the very first whiff, Rocky Patel Gold Label reveals its warm personality. The palate is immediately enveloped by deep notes of sandalwood, to which are added hints of spice. It's almost like opening an oriental spice box, the kind that combines cinnamon, cloves and sweet pepper - an olfactory and gustatory journey with every breath.
This frank, aromatic start sets the tone: the cigar wastes no time in establishing itself, settling in with assurance and elegance.
Despite its short corona format, this Rocky Patel Gold Label takes its time. It burns slowly and evenly, producing a nice volume of dense, creamy, almost satiny smoke. A welcome slowness that allows each flavour to unfold.
The initial spicy, woody notes are now joined by a more earthy framework, bringing depth and complexity to the whole. Notes of leather and sandalwood complete the olfactory palette. The cigar evolves slowly but surely, without ever losing its coherence. It took almost 45 minutes to reach the ring - a clear sign of the mastery of combustion demonstrated by this Gold Label. The ash, compact and well set, bears witness to impeccable rolling.
As for the power, it develops quite significantly. The spiciness, already present at the start, gains in intensity. The impression of opening a box of spices is there again, this time enriched by a more pronounced warmth.
Pairing
We advise you not to overload your palate with a drink that is too rich in flavour. The cigar already does its job well in terms of aroma and strength. Opt for a refreshing drink, such as a home-made cold tea (black tea) with a little sugar.
Momentum
Set aside a quiet moment to enjoy this cigar, and above all, with a full belly!
