Rocky's Special Stash
12 Mar, 2009- "Let’s just say the wrapper is going to be a Sumatra from Rocky’s special stash."
- That’s about all the information available from Sam Phillips, the director of marketing for Rocky Patel Premium Cigars, about the fourth Rocky Patel seasonal cigar, the Spring Collection, due out in six to eight weeks.
- "We’re looking at a little over 4,000 boxes (of 20) in three different sizes," Phillips noted. "It’s medium-bodied and well balanced." The sizes will be a robusto (probably 5 inches by 52 ring), a toro (6 x 52) and torpedo (6 x 52), with something more than 80,000 cigars produced in total.
- Although a limited-production program, the seasonal cigars – which started with the "Summer Collection" in 2008 – "have exceeded all expectations" according to Phillips. "The Summer and Autumn Collections were very nice and sold well," he said, "but the Winter Collection was just explosive.
- "People just fell in love with; it was a serious powerhouse and it was gone real fast." A maduro wrapper was promised for the Winter Collection, but the finished cigar actually featured a Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper, combined with Nicaraguan-grown binder and filler leaves.
- Could it become a part of the regular Rocky Patel line, as the ultra-popular Avo 75 limited-edition was turned into the standard-production Avo Signature Series? "You never know," said Phillips. "With Rocky, the wheels are always turning."
