Brand: Rocky Patel Cigars

Rocky Patel Cigars

Rocky Patel is a brand which persists in the hearts and minds of cigar consumers through sheer force of will. While other fledgling brands faltered and came to an abrupt demise towards the end of the 1990’s cigar boom, Rocky Patel’s brand sustained itself through volume of cigar production and advertisements. Rocky Patel began as Indian Tabac Cigar Co., a brand incepted by Rakesh Patel. Rocky was a Hollywood lawyer who specialized in movies and, upon noticing the massive popularity of handmade cigars imported from Nicaragua, decided he needed to enter the cigar industry by any means necessary. Ever since, Rocky has used his charisma and hard work to claw his way to the forefront of the tobacco world. Indeed, Rocky famously worked himself into the hospital after spending almost three hundred days on the road during a busy year during the cigar boom. His brand greatly benefitted from the opening of cigar lounges, such as BURN. Now, Rocky is counted among the legends of the cigar industry. The Rocky Patel portfolio features numerous cigar brands from Nicaragua and Honduras. Some of Rocky’s greatest hits, such as the Edge or the Decade, are offered on Luis Martinez cigars. These are cigars of exceptional flavor, quality, and value. Luis Martinez offers whole boxes of Rocky Patel cigars at a very reasonable price point, often lower than competing online cigar stores. Based out of Bonita Springs, this is a cigar which joins the old world of Florida and Cuba with the new world of Nicaragua and Honduras.

This combination results in a truly medium-bodied cigar, offering a harmonious balance of flavors. As Rocky Patel describes it, “It’s got a lot of sweetness, it’s truly medium-bodied. I think it’s approachable to the masses.”
