The Rocky Patel Emerald, released in late 2024, is a box-pressed gem that delivers a smooth, sophisticated smoking experience with broad appeal. Handcrafted at Rocky Patel’s Tabacalera Villa Cuba S.A. (TAVICUSA) in Estelí, Nicaragua, this cigar leans toward the lighter side of medium-bodied, offering an ideal entry point for newer smokers while still satisfying seasoned palates. Wrapped in a silky Ecuadorian Habano leaf and constructed with dual binders from Nicaragua and Mexico, the Emerald offers a refined flavor journey. Expect a harmonious blend of natural sweetness, baking spices, leather, and a touch of pepper, with evolving complexity from first draw to final ash.
