The Rocky Patel Winter Collection 2020 was launched in 2018, and it ended up being one of the most popular releases of that year. But it's got nothing to do with the cold weather. Rather, it's the blend, which was aged for a year in Nicaragua, that really sets this cigar apart. The Rocky Patel Winter Collection 2020 is a big, full-bodied smoke with layers of flavor and a solid burn.

Build Quality

The Rocky Patel Winter Collection 2020 is an annual line of cigars representing the very best of the winter season. The 2020 edition features a triple fermented Nicaragua.

Design

The Rocky Patel Winter Collection 2020 is shaping up to be a winner. The long-awaited Rocky Patel Robusto and Rocky Patel Toro will hit store shelves in February, while the Corona and Gordo should be released in March. The Corona, my personal favorite of the bunch, is a medium-bodied smoke with a rich, complex flavor and smooth draw. The Gordo is a powerhouse with a punchy, creamy flavor and a smooth, even draw. 

All are made using the beautiful San Andrés Habano Maduro wrapper leaf.

Burn

At the upcoming Winter 2019 trade shows, Rocky Patel will be unveiling his debut limited edition cigar for the 2020 Winter season. The annual line launches in January and has been made with tobaccos from the finest farms in Nicaragua and Honduras, aged in Nicaragua and blended in the Dominican Republic, sealed in an elegant San Andrés Habano Maduro wrapper leaf and slow-smoked in Honduras.

Summary

I guarantee that this is the best cigar that Rocky Patel has ever made. It's even better than his previous best, which was his first limited-edition cigar, the 2020 Winter Collection. A Nicaraguan puro with Honduran long-fillers, it's a cigar that celebrates the end of winter.
