Rocky Patel Sun Grown Maduro Petit Belicoso

A full-bodied Maduro from Nicaragua

The Rocky Patel Sun Grown Maduro Petit Belicoso comes from the renowned Tabacalera in Estelí, Nicaragua. This factory is synonymous with uncompromising quality and intense flavours. With the Sun Grown Maduro series, Rocky Patel presents a range for connoisseurs of dark, full-bodied cigars. The Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper used gives the cigar its characteristic depth and sweetness, whilst the Nicaraguan blend provides strength and structure. In the Petit Belicoso format, the cigar is concentrated, richly aromatic and yet surprisingly well-balanced.

Full-bodied, sweet, complex

The Sun Grown Maduro Petit Belicoso is aimed at experienced aficionados who appreciate Maduro cigars with body and depth. Right from the moment it is lit, a creamy smoke develops with notes of dark chocolate, espresso, spices and subtle sweet undertones. The characteristic peppery note of the Nicaraguan filler tobaccos is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the Broadleaf wrapper. The strength clearly falls within the medium to full-bodied range – the short, tapered shape ensures a concentrated, aromatic smoke with an elegant profile.
