From his ever-growing portfolio, top-rated cigars including 95-rated Sun Grown Maduro, 95-rated Decade and the 96-rated Rocky Patel Sixty are testament to the wide variety of blends created to suit a variety of palates.

This brings us to Rocky Patel Conviction. Featured is a hearty selection of vintage Nicaraguan leaves sourced from Rocky's very own farms throughout the Condega and Estelí growing regions that were harvested in 2014. Expertly coiled around these fillers are a Nicaraguan binder. This exclusive core is then wrapped in an oily and exquisite Mexican San Andrés wrapper that was carefully aged in terciarios, a Cuban method that involves bundling tobacco tightly in royal palm leaves allowing it to ferment for several years, thus bringing the tobacco to its full potency. The result is a flavorful and robust cigar delivering a lush medium to full bodied smoke. Smokers can expect decadent tasting notes of chocolate, coffee, espresso and honey to engulf tastebuds leaving a lasting impression on the palate. With just 4 artisans hand picked by Patel to roll the limited quantity of 50,000 cigars to ensure consistency, for you this means that you’ll get an exceptional smoke with and even burn and effortless draw. However, it also means that’s if you get your hands on one of the 5,000, 10 count boxes.
