Meet the Rocky Patel Royale Torpedo - a box-pressed figurado that sneaks up on you with Nicaraguan firepower dressed in Ecuadorian elegance. This 6"x52 stick packs enough flavor to satisfy your evening cravings without emptying your humidor. Let's cut through the cigar speak: it's like your favorite leather jacket - gets better with age and never goes out of style.
The initial draws hit with black pepper that'll clear your sinuses, mellowing into roasted cashews. Watch the razor-sharp burn line - this thing doesn't canoe even when you're nursing your whiskey too hard.
Nicaraguan soil comes through strong here - damp earth and molasses, with a retrohale that delivers cinnamon heat. Smoke output doubles, turning your ashtray into a personal fog machine.
Leather and dark chocolate dominate as the nicotine kicks in. The cap stays cool, but you'll want to put it down before the tar buildup - this torpedo knows how to make an exit.
Hand-rolled at Rocky's TaviCusa facility in Estelí, these torpedoes sport triple caps tighter than a drum. The Ecuadorian wrapper feels like oiled leather, hiding binder leaves from Connecticut that keep things interesting. Pro tip: store at 65% RH - these beauties sweeten up after 6 months rest.
