The 10 Best Rocky Patel Cigars, Ranked by Our Tobacconists
Rocky Patel makes a lot of cigars, and the portfolio can be intimidating from the outside: anniversaries, vintages, edges, numbers. We sell the line every day at all four of our stores, so here is the insider's cut: the ten best Rocky Patel cigars, ranked by the people who smoke and sell them.
1. Decade
The flagship for a reason. Decade earned scores in the mid 90s with a dark Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper and a box-pressed blend of espresso, chocolate and sweet spice. If someone asks for the best Rocky Patel, this is the shortest honest answer.
2. Sun Grown Maduro
A 95-point, top-five Cigar of the Year finisher. The Sun Grown Maduro stacks Connecticut broadleaf on the beloved Sun Grown blend for dark chocolate and brown sugar at full flavor.
3. Vintage 1992
Ten-year-aged Sumatra wrapper, caramel and cream, three decades of loyal fans. The Vintage 1992 is the crowd-pleaser we recommend most, and our Vintage comparison guide explains its siblings.
4. Fifteenth Anniversary
The Nicaraguan powerhouse of the line, 95-rated, all dark cocoa and molasses. The Fifteenth is for the night you want horsepower with polish.
5. The Edge Corojo
The famous value bomb. Full-strength Honduran corojo at a price that made the industry uncomfortable when it launched. Our Edge wrapper guide compares all six versions; the Corojo original is still the benchmark.
6. Sixty
Created for Rocky's 60th birthday and rated accordingly. The Sixty is box-pressed San Andres depth, the premium pick of the modern portfolio.
7. Disciple
One of the highest-rated cigars Rocky has released: espresso, dark cherry and layered spice. Disciple comes in boxes of ten because nobody stops at one.
8. White Label
The refined Connecticut with actual backbone. The White Label is mellow enough for morning coffee and interesting enough for after dinner.
9. Vintage 1990
Twelve-year-aged Honduran broadleaf, cocoa and leather with zero rough edges. The Vintage 1990 built the brand's reputation and still earns its keep.
10. Java Maduro
The wildcard: a coffeehouse-infused collaboration with Drew Estate that serious smokers quietly love. The Java Maduro is dessert in cigar form, and our Java flavor guide covers its siblings.
