The Rocky Patel ALR 2nd Edition is the follow-up to the 2018 ALR — Aged, Limited, and Rare. Rocky rolled this all-new blend at TAVICUSA in 2016, then rested it more than two years before release in 2019. It earned a 96 and the #5 spot on Cigar Aficionado's 2019 Top 25, then returned to the list at #4 in 2023.
A dark, oily Mexican San Andrés wrapper covers a Nicaraguan binder and all-Nicaraguan filler, every leaf grown on Rocky's own farms in Estelí and Condega. The San Andrés brings a naturally sweet edge. The two-plus years of rest after rolling is the "aged" in ALR, and it's what pulls the blend together. Box-pressed throughout.
Dark chocolate, espresso, and cedar lead, with dark fruit, roasted nuts, and earth filling in behind a steady black pepper. It smokes medium to full, but the long aging keeps it smooth rather than sharp — a richer, special-occasion smoke for an experienced palate.

Choosing Your Size
Robusto (5.5x52) — The shortest box-press and the quickest way into the blend. The chocolate and espresso land early. 45 minutes.
Toro (6.5x52) — The vitola Cigar Aficionado rated both years. The extra length lets the dark fruit and cedar develop. The size to reach for.
Sixty (6x60) — The widest ring and the coolest, longest smoke. Pushes the roasted-nut and earth notes forward over a slow burn.
