The Rocky Patel Disciple Sixty stands out as a bold 6x60 box-pressed smoke celebrating the brand founder's 60th birthday. This Nicaraguan puro wrapped in Mexican San Andres maduro leaf delivers earthy-spicy flavors through its medium-full body profile. The box of 20 retails around $258, offering serious smokers a chunky 90+ minute smoking experience.
The initial draws offer sweet cedar and roasted nuts wrapped in creamy smoke. Burning cool and even, it leaves thick ash with minimal touching up. The 60-ring format provides ample airflow without overwhelming nicotine.
At the halfway mark, black pepper and espresso notes emerge. Earthy undertones intensify while maintaining balance - think damp soil and cocoa nibs. Construction holds firm with steady burn line despite the large format.
The last third brings leather and caramelized sugars, though some users report increased pepper spiciness. While the nicotine kick remains manageable, the flavor profile stays consistent without turning bitter.
Hand-rolled in Honduras using Nicaraguan fillers from Estelí and Jalapa regions. The dark San Andres wrapper undergoes 2+ years fermentation, contributing to the cigar's sweet-spicy balance. Rocky Patel's factory in Danlí ensures precise humidity control during aging.
