Here we have the second edition of the Rocky Patel A.L.R. cigar. After receiving an impressive 94 rating from Cigar Aficionado, the publication named the blend the #5 cigar of 2019. They called out sweet notes like vanilla bean and malted chocolate, while other well-known reviewers noted baking spice and sweet cedar flavors.
A.L.R. stands for “Aged, Limited, Rare.” Sure these words are thrown around far and wide in the cigar industry, but when Rocky Patel tosses out an acronym to name a cigar this way, people take note. After rolling, Rocky Patel A.L.R. cigars are locked away to age for two years. Of course, these tobaccos aged long before finding their way into the blend. The additional two years further mature the leaves and increase complexity.
The first edition of A.L.R cigars was a huge hit due to the quality tobacco, master craftsmanship and care, and aging process. Now, with this second edition, the Rocky Patel A.L.R. cigar comes bold and fresh with a brand new blend. First, the Patel team takes the best Nicaraguan long-fillers grown on Rocky’s farms in Estelí and Jalapa. Then quality fillers from Honduras are added to the mix. A Honduran binder holds these in place before being covered by a Mexican San Andrés wrapper leaf.
The flavors in these cigars undergo a smooth progression. Along the way, they become interlaced in a well-balanced show. Due to the quality we’ve all come to expect from Rocky Patel, it won’t surprise you that the cigar’s burn line never requires correction, and the draw is smooth will ample smoke production. These second editions live up to the hype and are extremely limited. Don’t miss your chance to smoke a few of these bangers!
