Rocky Patel Fifty-Five is the first release since Rocky Patel Premium Cigars became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Altria Group, Inc. The cigar was introduced at the 2016 IPCPR Convention and Trade Show. Fifty-Five is intended to be a more accessible line for newer smokers; however, it still boasts the same complexity as other Rocky Patel cigars.

Brand and Production

The Rocky Patel Fifty-Five is an ultra-premium cigar with a bold flavor profile that appeals to the seasoned smoker. It starts off with a spicy start before transitioning into rich, decadent flavors of coffee, cocoa, and cream.

There are two sizes available for this cigar, the Robusto 5 x 50, which has a woody finish and the Toro 6 x 60, which has a slightly nutty flavor.

Rocky Patel cigars are manufactured by hand in Estelí, Nicaragua. Whilst the company is known for its Nicaraguan blends, they also produce a line of cigars in the Dominican Republic. The Rocky Patel Fifty-Five is one such cigar: a medium-bodied smoke made with a Honduran binder and filler tobaccos from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic.

These cigars come in boxes that contain 12 cigars, each with all the details neatly kept inside the box.
