Rocky Patel Year of the Snake
Toro
Toro · 60–75 min smoke · A longer robusto — more time for the blend to evolve through its thirds without committing to a Churchill.
At the counter · Wide guillotine, patient -toast, smoke unhurried — the length rewards a slow burn through each third.
Uncommon
Tasting
U.S. version of Rocky Patel's Chinese Zodiac release; very dark habano wrapper giving toasty charcoal, black pepper, muddy earth and sweet cocoa, with a tongue-coating sensation muting the mid-cigar. · Released 2025

“This type of cigar is the most difficult for me to score. During each segment, there were some puffs that were great but there were also some lows. It was the worst in the second third, when a higher percentage of puffs were impacted by the tongue-coating sensation that really muted the flavors.”Read on halfwheel
