Rocky Patel Conviction Toro 6"1/2 * 52

A medium to full-bodied smoke with a deep complexity that offers exquisite notes of caramel, honey, coffee, espresso, and chocolate. Its oily mouthwatering Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper was fermented for four years in palm-bark wrapped bales, which is a traditional Cuban fermentation method known a terciario (or tercios) and allows the wrapper to fully develop. This savory wrapper cloaks a Nicaraguan binder and a Nicaraguan filler made of vintage tobaccos that were harvested in 2014, which happens to be Patel’s first harvest. Once rolled, each cigar is nested in an aluminum tube and tucked in a highly collectible box that functions as an actual humidor. Handmade in Nicaragua at Rocky Patel’s Tabacalera Villa Cuba S.A. The Rocky Patel Conviction is a limited release cigar, only 5,000 boxes of 10 cigars per box were made, so commit to purchasing your box(es) today before they are all gone.

  Rocky Patel Conviction

  When Rocky Patel switched from being an attorney to becoming a cigar crafter, he was fully convinced that creating premium cigars is what he wanted to do. This certainty allowed him to create a globally recognized brand that produces one fine cigar after another. The Rocky Patel Conviction cigar sports a Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper that was fermented for four years in palm-bark wrapped bales, which is a traditional Cuban fermentation method known as terciario (or tercios). This method allows the wrapper to fully develop. The wrapper cloaks a Nicaraguan binder and a Nicaraguan filler made of vintage tobaccos that were harvested in 2014, which happens to be Patel’s first harvest. The cigars are rolled by two teams of two master cigar rollers. To ensure the cigars are rolled to perfection, each team is restricted to rolling only 250 cigars per day. The Conviction is a testament to Rocky’s endless dedication to producing flawless, box worthy cigars that will appeal to all aficionados.
• Cigar Shape
  Toro

  The standard Toro shape is 6 inches by 50 ring gauge.
• Cigar Section
  Box-Pressed (Square)

  A box pressed cigar is a cigar that has a square shape. Originally, this shape came from the practice of packing round cigars tightly in cardboard boxes which are then compacted using a manual press. The cigars are thus pressed into each other and become a "squarish" or semi-square shape. Today, cigar makers use square shaped molds or a wooden trunk press for their box pressed cigars, achieving a more defined square section.
• Cigar Length

• Origin
  Nicaragua

  Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
  Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

• Cigar Wrapper
  Mexican San Andres Maduro

  The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
  Mexican tobacco is very dark and the best leaves can be used as maduro wrappers. San Andres Maduro is a thick, medium bodied dark leaf, also called San Andres Morron. Like Connecticut Broadleaf, San Andres Maduro is stalk cut and used for binder and wrapper.
• Cigar Binder
  Nicaragua

  The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
  Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.
• Cigar Filler
  Nicaragua

  Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
