Rocky Patel Grand Reserve Robusto | Selected by Cigar Aficionado 2021 #9 Cigar Of The Year – 93 Rating!

Rocky Patel Grand Reserve Robusto is just about as close to a "one size fits all" cigar as anyone could possibly create. Over the years, Rocky Patel has been known for his never-ending list of cigar brands, each blend tweaked to appease a new palate. In the case of Grand Reserve, however, he set out to come up with a blend that appeased EVERY palate. Released in 2018, Grand Reserve was originally set to only be available on the international market, mainly in Europe. However, a couple of years later the blend was brought to the US. market, and, as expected, has been flying off shelves ever since. This stick is made in Honduras at Nestor Plasencia's El Paraiso factory, a place where a great many of Rocky's cigars are produced. As for the blend, Grand Reserve is made up of Honduran and Nicaraguan filler leaves, a Nicaraguan binder, and a caramel brown Ecuadorian wrapper. In 2021, Rocky Patel Grand Reserve earned a 93 rating and a top 10 spot on Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 list.


Elegant white boxes and elaborate white, red, and gold bands certainly make for a glamorous presentation, but the true beauty is found in the cigars themselves. Expert construction is plainly evident, not only as far as looks go, but performance as well. An easy draw means massive smoke production and a crisp burn all the way down. Grand Reserve starts off with meaty, savory notes mixed with soft bursts of black pepper. Soon after, sweet qualities become apparent, with hints of caramel, cinnamon, and nuts. A toasty espresso finish rounds out the medium-bodied flavor profile, and overall, this blend is balanced, complex, and satisfying. The 5 ½" Robusto is the size that stole the show and made it to the Top 25, and it's no wonder why. It provides a beautiful example of the flavor that Rocky worked so diligently to achieve.


Though in reality this blend is suitable for all audiences, it takes a true connoisseur to really appreciate all the amazing qualities that make the experience what it is. Medium-bodied and intensely flavorful, Grand Reserve pairs well with scotch, bourbon, or red wine and is a great choice for any of life's special occasions. Fans of other medium-bodied flavor bombs such as San Cristobal Quintessence or Aging Room Quattro will doubtless find this blend to be a delight to enjoy. The cigar world rejoiced when Rocky Patel Grand Reserve Robusto was brought to America and became available worldwide. Get in on the action and see for yourself what makes this international delight so special!
