To honor the Chinese zodiac and build on the tradition set by last year’s release, Rocky Patel introduces the Year of the Snake—a luxurious, meticulously designed cigar that celebrates the serpent’s associations with change, sophistication, and mystique. Crafted exclusively at Rocky Patel’s renowned TAVICUSA factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, this toro-sized cigar will make its official debut at the 2025 PCA Convention & Trade Show in New Orleans. An exclusive international edition has already launched in Germany, showcasing a special Oscuro wrapper. Though the blend differs slightly between regions, both versions deliver a rich, indulgent smoking experience that showcases the depth and boldness of premium Nicaraguan tobacco.
