The Rocky Patel „Year of the Horse“ has officially arrived at select retailers.
This limited-edition release is handcrafted in Nicaragua. A dark San Andrés wrapper surrounds a Nicaraguan binder and a blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers.
The company is incredibly proud of this release and excited for cigar smokers across the country (USA) to experience it finally.
In this new episode of Cigar Talk, Rocky answers one of the biggest questions in premium cigars — which country produces the best tobacco?
From Nicaragua and Honduras to Ecuador, Cameroon, Brazil, Connecticut, and the Dominican Republic, Rocky walks through how each region contributes something unique to a cigar blend. He explains how different soils, climates, and tobacco varietals shape flavor, strength, sweetness, spice, and aroma — and why great blending is about harmony, not just origin.
For anyone interested in cigar education, tobacco growing, blending, wrappers, fillers, and the craftsmanship behind premium handmade cigars, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
