This Rocky Patel sampler pack hits like a flavor rollercoaster with four Toro-sized cigars wrapped in Boveda-equipped freshpacks. Priced under $40 for the set, it bundles the Fifty, Fifty-Five, OWR Maduro, and 20th Anniversary Natural blends - perfect for curious smokers who want variety without commitment. Each 6x52 stick comes ready-to-smoke with patented humidity control tech.
The Connecticut-grown maduro wrappers showed decent oil sheen straight from packaging. Pre-light draws offered loose resistance with grassy undertones. All four cigars maintained 1.5" ash holds with razor burn lines, though the OWR Maduro required one touch-up past the midpoint.
Fifty blend opened with cashew butter and cedar notes, transitioning to black pepper by the 1" mark. 20th Anniversary Natural delivered sharper citrus zest upfront - think candied lemon peel dipped in brown sugar.
OWR Maduro punched through with espresso grounds and charred meat intensity around the band zone. The Fifty-Five variant surprised with a mineral water crispness cutting through its cocoa base.
All blends developed varying degrees of walnut skin bitterness in the home stretch. The 20th Anniversary held strongest, maintaining cinnamon stick spice through the nub.
