Rocky Patel and Gary Sheffield Launch “The Homerun 500 Club Cigar” (HR 500)

Two icons in their respective fields, Rocky Patel and Gary Sheffield collaborate to launch a commemorative cigar – The Homerun 500 Club Cigar by Gary Sheffield

August 30, 2012 (Bonita Springs, FL). Two icons in their respective fields, Rocky Patel and Gary Sheffield join forces to bring you a special cigar, to commemorate Sheffield’s rare accomplishment of hitting 500 homeruns.

It is no secret in the premium cigar industry that the world-renowned Rocky Patel brand enjoys a sizeable following, owing to its reputation for the highest quality premium cigars and luxury lifestyle products.

All-star Gary Sheffield’s illustrious baseball career has rendered him an unforgettable figure in the world of sports. With all his tenacity and passion, Gary will always continue to strive for high performance and excellence.

So, it should come as no surprise that Rocky Patel Premium Cigar Company was the perfect fit for Gary Sheffield, himself a cigar enthusiast, to blend a cigar commemorating his 500th home run — The Homerun 500 Club Cigar by Gary Sheffield.

Both Patel and Sheffield have worked tirelessly to bring to market a perfectly blended and aged, medium to full-bodied premium cigar. Equally inspired is the box in which the cigars are presented. The velvet-lined, white leather-finish box is characterized with red stitching to match an authentic baseball. Both the metal plate on top of the box, and the artist’s rendering on the inside of the box were specially commissioned to reflect the momentous occasion of Gary Sheffield’s 500th home run.

Gary Sheffield will be promoting his Homerun 500 Club Cigar (“HR 500”) at special events, which will be held at fine retail tobacconists across the country. He will personally autograph each and every cigar box purchased at the events, and other memorabilia on multiple box purchases.
