Rocky Patel A.L.R. Second Edition Toro | Selected by Cigar Aficionado as the 2023 #4 Cigar of the Year - Rated 96
It's finally happened that after so long of a self-imposed rest, the Rocky Patel A.L.R. Second Edition Toro cigar is here. Where else but the cigar world would you find short term gains so easily tossed aside in the hopes for future glory? When first blended by Patel, the secret blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos that form the core of these hefty 6 1/2" X 52 vitolas could have been an immediate hit, raking in a bunch of 90 ratings and perhaps a Top 25 for the year. Instead, after sealing the luscious longleaf beneath a phenomenally fermented San Andres wrapper, Rocky let the cigars gently age for at least two solid years. His patience has been rewarded with a #4 of 2023 ranking on the back of a stellar score of 96.
You experienced aficionados out there might think you are prepared for the rich depth of flavor provided by the Rocky Patel A.L.R. Second Edition Toro, but you'll be glad to know you're not. Occupying that same heady airspace as the Arturo Fuente Rosado Sungrown Magnum R or the Alec Bradley Tempus, these unique cigars taste like nothing else in the world. Sure, there's plenty of cocoa to be had thanks to the San Andres wrapper and Patel's aging rooms have imparted just the right amount of cedar, but beyond the earth, the malt, the vanilla cream there sits something more. Past the sweet butterscotch, the bitter orange peel, the meaty char, and the hints of spicy red pepper, you'll find those subtle, unnamed, and elusive flavors that all cigar smokers seek.
Aged. Limited. Rare. While Rocky had time on his side in creating these medium-full bodied gems, you however do not. Only 40,000 Rocky Patel A.L.R. Second Edition Toro cigars were produced and if that seems like a lot, just wait. They'll be sold out before you know it. Enjoy them while they're here, because we don't know when we'll see their like again.
