Rocky Patel Announces New Blend: II-XXVI (2/26)

Rocky Patel is once again on to a new blend: the 2/26. RP is, of course, a brand that has gotten a lot of hate in recent years from cigar smokers for releasing “too many blends” – the problem with this obviously being that so many of their blends are so damn good. Recent releases like the Freedom delivered massively on taste and construction quality, so I don’t hesitate to say I’m excited to try the 2/26.

Here’s the release

March 22, 2013 — To celebrate Rocky’s birthday on 2/26 we have released one of Rocky’s favorite personal blends from our factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. The II-XXVI (2-26) are packed in beautiful handcrafted wood with a piano finish. The II-XXVI is limited, so there are only 1,000 boxes available in each size.

Pricing:

• Robusto ($12.95)
• Toro ($13.95)
• Torpedo ($14.95)

Tasting Notes: medium to full-bodied with rich complex flavors consisting of white pepper and dark chocolate. It’s a tasty smoke whose bold leather and coffee notes are accented by a solid oaky essence.

Wrapper: Broadleaf
Binder: San Andreas
Filler: Brazilian Matafina, Nicaraguan Condega, Jamastran Valley, Ometepe

First ship date: Apr. 15th, 2013
