Rocky Patel Connecticut |

|
Rocky Patel doesn’t look like your typical boutique owner. With dark hair graying at the temples and a nose that appears to have gone a few rounds with a more famous Rocky, Patel doesn’t look like he has ever set foot inside a boutique. Yet Rocky’s “boutique” makes some of the finest cigars in the world, including the Rocky Patel Connecticut. Patel says his cigars strive to be complex, rich, well balanced and elegant on the palate. The Connecticut is a fine testament to the Patel tradition. In other words, believe the hype. Wrapped in a 7-year-old Connecticut Shade, hence the name, inside you’ll find aged Nicaraguan and Dominican Ligero tobacco. This stick draws well and burns even better, producing a gray, firm ash that can easily grow two inches without falling. The flavor is a bit on the milder side, but it''s definitely not light on taste. However, because it is lighter than many other sticks in the Patel line, this may be a good entry point for novice smokers. All cigar lovers will appreciate the smooth and creamy flavor, with crisp, spicy overtones. Don''t let the price fool you. This is a premium cigar in every way that matters. That Patel is able to produce it at such an attractive price point is to his credit and your benefit. |
