Rocky Patel Premium Cigars will introduce a new brand at the IPCPR trade show called ALR, an abbreviation for Aged, Limited & Rare. The cigars are the first run of small batch releases the company plans to unveil in the years to come.<\/p>\n
Rocky conceived the idea of ALR three years ago \u2013 before he even had the brand name \u2013 when he blended a cigar featuring a smooth Habano-seed wrapper paired with select Nicaraguan fillers and a Nicaraguan binder. Rocky had decided that this blend would develop even further with aging, so he ordered a short production run of 100,000 cigars.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember in early 2015, there was this blend I kept coming back to\u201d explained Patel, president and CEO. \u201cI was down in the factory working on new brands, and this one fulfilled an idea we had \u2013 maturing fully rolled cigars for greater complexity.\u201d<\/p>\n
The cigars were rolled in the TaviCusa factory based in Esteli\u0301, Nicaragua, and laid to rest in an aging room where they remained for three years. Now ALR is ready and will begin shipping to tobacconists in August, crafted in three vitolas: Robusto (5 x 50) retailing for $13, Toro (6 x 52) retailing for $14, and Sixty (6 x 60) retailing for $15. All three shapes will be packed in 20-count boxes totaling 1,500 boxes each. The surplus ALR cigars will be held as private inventory kept in Rocky\u2019s personal reserve.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese fine cigars are special to me, and I\u2019m proud to finally offer them to the cigar market,\u201d Rocky said. \u201cThey\u2019re silky, complex, medium-bodied. But they won\u2019t last. Grab them while you can!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
