In a lot of ways, the theme for Rocky Patel Premium Cigars at the 2024 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show picked up where last year left off. Gone are the days where Rocky Patel would release half a dozen new vitolas each year and now the company is focusing on a couple of releases. Like last year, there was one premium cigar released coming in around the $10 to $13.00 range with Gold Label. Meanwhile,  there is an ultra-premium release with Year of the Dragon. While the ultra-premium release isn't close to the price point of the $100.0o Rocky Patel Conviction, it still comes it at a $35.00 price point. The other thing that has not changed is that Rocky Patel himself always makes time to talk to our team, and he is showing no signs of losing his passion for the cigar industry.

Rocky Patel Premium Cigars not only had the biggest booth, but it had one of the busiest ones at the 2023 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show. This is no different than previous years, and what is also no different is Rocky Patel himself has always made himself available to talk to the Cigar Coop Coalition team. This year Rocky Patel had several projects for the trade show, but two stand out. His special project is Rocky Patel's most premium offering to date, priced at $100.00 per cigar. In addition, the company is also bringing a project that incorporates tobacco from Paraguay into the blend. Full PCA Report: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-q6F

In this week's Deep Cuts Live, I'm speaking with Philip Zanghi, the mastermind behind Debonaire Cigars and Indian Motorcycle Cigars. In this chat, we talk about his journey in the cigar industry and the realities of running your own premium cigar brand. Philip has been a part of the cigar industry for over 30 years, and let me tell you, he's got some serious knowledge to drop. He founded InterTabac Company back in 1991 and even worked with the legendary Rocky Patel, who became his 50 percent partner before Rocky Patel Premium Cigars officially launched. But that's not all! Philip has also launched several other businesses, including a blunt wrap paper company. He saw having his own cigar brand as the ultimate business card, and he's here to talk about the costs, the hustle, and building brand awareness in the industry. One thing Philip talks about that really caught my attention is the idea of purging. If you're a true cigar aficionado, you know that purging can bring out even more flavor in a cigar as it's being smoked. Philip is the expert when it comes to all things cigars, and he's here to share his tips and tricks with us. But it's not just about the technical aspects of cigars. Philip also talks about how success in the industry can change a person. He's seen it all and has some truly fascinating insights to share. So, if you're ready to take your cigar game to the next level and learn from one of the greats, you won't want to miss this video. Grab a premium cigar, sit back, and enjoy the conversation with Philip Zanghi. Trust me, it's one you won't forget! -- Thanks for listening!

Coming in at #19 is Rocky Patel Disciple Toro. Rocky Patel Premium Cigars has been on a roll in regard to its use of the Mexican San Andres wrapper. In 2021, we named the Rocky Patel Winter Collection as the Cigar Coop #1 Cigar of the Year which made use of that wrapper. Another high-profile release using that wrapper was the Rocky Patel Sixty. The Sixty made its debut at the 2021 PCA Trade Show; but at that trade show, there was a second Mexican San Andres release launched. That flew under the radar because of Sixty and that cigar is the Rocky Patel Disciple. In addition to the Mexican San Andres wrapper, the Rocky Patel Disciple uses Nicaraguan tobaccos for the binder and filler. The Nicaraguan tobaccos are from Rocky Patel's farms in Condega and Estelí.  Production also comes from Rocky Patel's TAVICUSA factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. The Toro size is a classic 6 x 52. The Rocky Patel Disciple Toro is not a cigar that is going to overwhelm you with boldness. It started out mild to medium in strength and body before going to medium in the second half. That does not mean it's short on flavor. This cigar is going to deliver notes of cocoa, cedar, earth, fruit, and pepper - and they balance each other very nicely. For Rocky Patel Premium Cigars, this marks the seventh year it has landed a cigar on the Cigar Coop Countdown, and its the third consecutive year it has landed on the Countdown (incidentally with one San Andres Mexican wrapper each of those three years). If you are keeping score at home, Nicaragua has now landed eight of the 12 cigars unveiled thus far on the 2022 Countdown. Full Report: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-ok9

Looking back several years ago, it was not unusual for Rocky Patel Premium Cigars to release seven or more new lines at the IPCPR Trade Show. These numbers have been streamlined over the past couple of years. This year the company introduced two new lines at the Trade Show. Leading the pack would be The Edge 20th Anniversary – a line that had been promoted prior to the PCA 2022. The second, with details kept under wraps, is the Rocky Patel DBS. At the same time, Rocky Patel Premium Cigars has been on a roll – delivering some high quality products. This resulted in a #1 Cigar of the Year from Cigar Coop in 2021 with the Rocky Patel Winter Collection; and a Prime Time Award for Best Large-sized company. We would have the opportunity to present owner Rocky Patel these awards at PCA 2022. PCA 2022 Report: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-nn1

The Number One Cigar of the Year for 2021 is the Rocky Patel Winter Collection Robusto!  The story of the Winter Collection dates back to 2008 when Rocky Patel launched a series of limited edition cigars to coincide with each of the four seasons. This series included the Spring Collection, Summer Collection, Autumn Collection, and Winter Collection. Of the four blends, it was the original Winter Collection that built up a core following. Since then, this has led to the limited edition Rocky Patel Winter Collection 2012 and now a regular production Winter Collection 2020 (simply called the Rocky Patel Winter Collection). Each of these incarnations of the Winter Collection has had a different blend, but it's the 2020 edition in the Robusto size that takes its place in history. The Rocky Patel Winter Collection features a Mexican San Andres wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder, and a combination of Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos for the filler. Production is handled out of Rocky Patel's Tabacalera Villa Cuba S.A. (TAVICUSA) factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. The Robusto is what can be termed the  "Rocky Patel Robusto Extra Size" measuring 5 1/2 x 50. Flavor-wise, the Rocky Patel Winter Collection Robusto is going to fire on all cylinders. The flavors are a mix of notes of coffee, earth, natural tobacco, red wine, baker's spice, white pepper, and exotic spice. The flavors are medium-bodied countered by medium strength - making this a cigar that can be enjoyed by anyone. This was a cigar that I first assessed back in late February 2021 and it blew me away. I knew this was a potential 2021 Cigar of the Year candidate back then, but the question would be whether that consistency would hold all of the way until the final tastings in November - the answer was yes. This is the sixth year Rocky Patel Premium Cigars has landed on a Cigar Coop Countdown. The 2021 Countdown has definitely been the company's strongest - securing two cigars in the Top 5, including the #5 ranked Rocky Patel Quarter Century. It also is the third TAVICUSA cigar, joining Micky Pegg's All Saints St. Francis and the Quarter Century. Nicaragua was the dominant country, with 22 of the 30 cigars originating from that Central American country.

From the 2021 PCA Trade Show, we talk to Rocky Patel of Rocky Patel Premium Cigars. There perhaps is no man who can deliver as much information in three minutes as Rocky Patel, the owner and founder of Rocky Patel Premium Cigars - and that's exactly what he did for us when we interviewed him. Rocky told us about his three new releases with fire and passion like no one else. He had good reason to do so - his booth was absolutely buzzing and if his 2021 releases perform anything like his 2020 releases, this is going to be a very special year. Rocky has had several very high-scoring cigars and is performing at the highest level to date in terms of what he is releasing. References PCA 2021 Report: Rocky Patel Premium Cigars
