Rocky Patel Sampler

Rocky Patel offers a wide range of distinctive series – which can make choosing your first one anything but easy. The Rocky Patel Samplers make the decision pleasantly straightforward: Instead of committing to an entire box, you can take your time exploring different blends and formats from the brand.

Breakfast Robusto: Compare Rocky Patel Cigars Directly

With the Breakfast Robusto, the format deliberately remains the same. This puts the direct blend comparison front and center, without different dimensions affecting the experience. Included are:

1 x Vintage 2003 Cameroon Robusto
1 x Sungrown Robusto
1 x The Edge Connecticut Robusto
1 x Vintage 1990 Robusto

Four Robustos certainly do not mean four times the same experience: The eight-year-aged Cameroon wrapper of the 2003 accompanies mild notes of forest, coffee, and sweetness, while the fuller-bodied Sungrown provides a distinct counterpoint with creaminess, nuts, and wood. Connecticut adds a more approachable wrapper interpretation to the comparison. The nutty, caramel-like 1990 also provides an excellent benchmark: Its Robusto received 92 out of 100 points from Cigar Aficionado.

Dinner Sixty: Rocky Patel Samplers for Extended Smokes

The Dinner Sixty takes a different approach: All four cigars come in the substantial 6-x-60 format, giving you plenty of time to explore each blend in detail. Included are:

2 x Vintage 1990 Sixty
1 x Vintage 1999 Connecticut Sixty
1 x Vintage 2003 Cameroon Sixty

Including the 1990 twice is no mere filler: It gives you the chance to revisit the classic or share one with a fellow smoker. The milder, creamier 1999 and the smooth, slightly sweet 2003 provide additional contrasts. Comparing the two assortments is particularly appealing, as two blends appear as both a Robusto and a Sixty – in other words, one blend, two formats. This Rocky Patel sampler therefore helps you not only find your favorite series, but also your preferred format.
