Rocky Patel

Gold Label

At the 2024 PCA Convention, those who had an eye on Rocky Patel and what the premium brand might try next struck gold. Literal gold. The Rocky Patel Gold Label is a beautiful cigar that arrives wrapped in eye-catching foil. Unboxing these cigars, one gets a distinct glow that has become synonymous with the Rocky Patel brand. Like his Conviction cigar, in which premium aged smokes were placed in copper aluminum tubes, the Gold Label collection has a distinct flair that is perfect for those who enjoy displaying their smokes just as much as they enjoy lighting them up. In videos announcing the cigar’s arrival, Patel underscored one aspect of the Gold Label above the rest: flavor. This medium-bodied smoke is going to burst with strong notes of caramel, coffee, espresso and a licorice-like sweetness that is delivered over time in waves of complexity. Another hallmark of the Patel brand has been its ability to tuck flavors into each and every corner of his premium smokes. The blend, produced at Tabacalera Villa Cuba S.A., is a combination of Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over Connecticut Broadleaf and Connecticut shade binders. The filler tobacco from the Estelí and Jalapa regions of Nicaragua. This makes an ideal smoke for someone who also enjoys a robust and flavorful beverage. The Ecuadorian Habano wrapper pairs perfectly with a rich Cabernet Sauvignon or Stout style beers, such as a Guiness, the Left Hand brewing company Milk Stout or the classic Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout. Coffee drinkers will want to consider a double espresso for its combination of sharpness and smokiness, especially if the blend originates from Robusta and Arabica beans, allowing the cocoa and vanilla characteristics of the espresso to come through and meld with the desert-like sweetness of this cigar. If you’re a cocktail lover, no problem. This cigar is going to bring out the best in your collection of smoky bourbons. The Rocky Patel Gold Label is an ideal box purchase for those who are just getting acclimated to the Rocky Patel brand and those who have loved this boutique cigar brand for years. This is because the cigar is perfectly priced and dressed for every occasion. While some Patel cigars can stretch well over $100 a stick, this sits in a range where it could be a daily smoker for some. For others, it’s both affordable and possesses the gravitas one might expect from a celebratory cigar at a wedding, anniversary or gathering of friends.
