“In all of our years creating world-class cigars, we’ve never produced anything that more rigorously adheres to our high standards and dedication to quality We call it: The Disciple, and it’s anything but a follower.”

Quite a statement and the Rocky Patel Disciple Robusto lives up to it. The San Andres wrapper is oily and enrobes Nicaraguan fillers and a Nicaraguan binder. It’s medium to full-bodied, dark with delicious aromas of coffee, caramel, cinnamon, and expresso.

Rolled at the Tavicusa factory in Esteli Nicaragua, this is another masterpiece from Rocky Patel.
