Rocky Patel Emerald Sixty

The Rocky Patel Emerald brings a breath of fresh air to the Rocky Patel range: a box-pressed premium cigar that deliberately stays on the milder side – with a noticeable sweetness, plenty of creaminess and yet enough depth for experienced aficionados. Whether as a Robusto, Toro or Sixty, this range is perfect for connoisseurs seeking an elegant smoke with modern flavours, without veering into the ‘full-strength’ category. For the online shop, the Rocky Patel Emerald is also a real eye-catcher: emerald-green accents, striking bands and a high-quality finish ensure it makes a strong impression in the humidor.

Double binder & a special filler twist

The blend features an Ecuadorian wrapper, which has a velvety texture and imparts a subtle, pleasant spiciness. This is complemented by two binder leaves – one from Nicaragua and one from Mexico – which lend the cigar stability and structure. Inside, Nicaraguan filler tobaccos dominate, enhanced by an aromatically intense leaf from the Jamastrán Valley in Honduras. The result: a well-rounded, ‘polished’ smoke with a caramel-like underlying sweetness, accompanied by notes of leather, light pepper and coffee/toast – balanced, modern and very accessible.

Three sizes, three lengths of enjoyment

The Rocky Patel Emerald is available in three popular sizes, all of which are box-pressed – meaning they’re slightly angular – which often makes for a pleasantly direct draw. The Robusto is the compact all-rounder (ideal for a leisurely break), the Toro offers more time and development, and the Sixty delivers maximum smoking volume for long evenings. So you can choose according to your mood: short & concentrated, balanced & harmonious or full-bodied & creamy.

Who is Rocky Patel Emerald ideal for?

If you like cigars with a creamy texture, subtle sweetness and classic notes such as wood, coffee, chocolate and leather, Rocky Patel Emerald is an excellent choice. It has a friendly character whilst still being aromatic – perfect for beginners to box-pressed cigars as well as connoisseurs looking for something ‘slightly medium’. Pairing tip: Cappuccino, rum with vanilla notes or a mild bourbon bring out the caramel and roasted flavours particularly well.
