The cigar presents itself with a smooth wrapper that carries a subtle tooth, box pressed to perfection. Without any noticeable veins, the chocolatey appearance invites aficionados to indulge in a delightful smoke.
Upon ignition, the Rocky Patel Sixty Robusto opens with a blast of flavors. The initial notes of espresso and cocoa powder pave the way for a unique experience of charred beef, reminiscent of mesquite wood grilling. A subtle touch of pepper and spice adds complexity to the palate, creating a bold and captivating introduction.
As the journey progresses, the pepper notes persist, while the woodiness gracefully takes a step back. Chocolate takes center stage, elevating the richness of the profile. The second third maintains the bold and robust character, offering a seamless transition from the initial flavor explosion.
Entering the final stretch, the cigar unveils increased strength, accompanied by a crescendo of leather and pepper. The woodiness and bold flavors persist, providing a consistent and satisfying conclusion. The flavor remains consistent but the STARS point out, it’s a good problem to have.
Flawless construction and burn characterize the Rocky Patel Sixty Robusto. A stellar choice for those seeking to transition from milder cigars, it boasts excellent smoke production and draws parallels to the quality of a Padron.
