Rocky Patel Sun Grown Maduro
$50.63 – $244.80No one disputes that Rocky Patel is one of the few Titans of the Premium Cigar Industry. Over 20 years ago as he began his quest to get a foothold in the marketplace he actually got in his car and traveled the country visiting high volume Tobacconists unannounced! When he wound up in my store to sell his first entry, I hesitantly took a chance on him. Actually, he was such a nice and appreciative person I couldn’t resist! The rest is cigar history!
This cigar is a masterpiece. Not only did it rank #2 of the top 25 cigars in 2016, it garnered a 95 rating beating out many of its Cuban competitors! Make no mistake, this dark cigar is a very complex extra full bodied smoke. While the Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper gives this box pressed stick a bit of sweetness along the way, the bold, robust taste is smooth to the finish.

PDR El Trovador A Flores Maduro
$246.20 – $280.90PDR El Trovador A Flores Maduro is one of two excellent cigars in this line.
El Trovador Maduro contains the same complex blend as it’s Rosado counterpart. The big difference here is the wrapper. Adding a grade A dark and oily Mexican Maduro leaf to encase the filler/binder makes for a special smoke. Retaining it’s medium body, the maduro wrapper adds a sweetness to the overall taste. Think notes of chocolate and earth and spice for starters.
Cigar Century gives this dark knight a respectable 90 rating. Cigar Aficionado ups the score to 91 with a perfect description. “This box pressed cigar is cloaked in a dark, oily wrapper. Bold impressions of red pepper, leather and oak are balanced by sweeter notes of cherry and chocolate. The finish smacks of coffee bean. It draws evenly throughout.”
Without a doubt, this Abe Flores creation is another winner for PDR.
