Rocky Patel A.L.R Second Edition

Composed of a carefully selected blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos from Rocky Patel's farms in Condega and Estelí, and wrapped in a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, this cigar offers a luxurious smoking experience. A.L.R. cigars, which stands for "Aged, Limited and Rare," are aged for two years, allowing the flavours to blend harmoniously.

Tasting notes

The start of this box-pressed cigar immediately impresses with its smoothness, a creaminess that accompanies us throughout most of the tasting.

Unsurprisingly, the draw is smooth, and very quickly, the puffs transport us to rich aromas of damp earth, cedar and cocoa.

Its pressed format allows for slow, unhurried tasting, savouring each puff. The warm aromas emanating from the cigar are comforting.

The moment of truth arrives when the ring is removed. The palette of flavours has evolved since the start. From woody notes, we move on to a world of spices. From earthiness, we move on to fire, with a beautiful distinction of white pepper and a floral touch.

In summary, a complex and captivating bouquet of flavours that seasoned aficionados will be able to analyse, while novices will happily let themselves be carried away by this sensory experience.

Pairing

After a good meal, pour yourself that last glass of red wine and savour it with this exceptional Rocky Patel.

The deep notes of a tannic wine will balance the creaminess of the initial tasting and support its peppery side.
