The Rocky Patel LB1 Robusto hits shelves as a box of 20 cigars priced at $163.20, offering Nicaraguan-Honduran fusion in classic Robusto format (5?" x 50 ring). Wrapped in Ecuadorian Habano leaf with Jamastran Valley binder, this medium-strength stick carries a metallic copper band that pops against its rustic wooden box. Crafted at RP's El Paraso factory since 2017, it's become a modern benchmark for Honduran production.
The cold draw teases hay and Brazil nut. Initial puffs deliver pepper-forward Honduran character - think dark roast coffee with a cedar undertone. Smoke production stays moderate, requiring deliberate draws to avoid tunneling.
Nicaraguan fillers emerge at the ?-inch mark. Baking spices mingle with bitter cocoa, while retrohale introduces a cashew butter smoothness. Ash holds firm in ?-inch segments, though some irregular burn lines appear.
Kekuatan meningkat melewati batas medium-full. Aroma kulit dan ceri hitam muncul, tetapi penumpukan getah dimulai di sekitar nub. Diperkirakan waktu merokok 65-75 menit dengan sering mengetuk abu yang diperlukan.
Dibuat secara manual di Danli, Honduras menggunakan bahan pengisi Nicaragua dari ladang milik RP sendiri. Lingkungan pabrik El Paraso yang dikontrol iklim memastikan stabilitas RH 70/70 sebelum pengiriman. Kode kotak "LB1" mencerminkan perpaduan generasi pertama dari tembakau lembah Jamastran dengan Estel primings.
