Some refer to Rocky Patel as one of the giants of
the cigar industry and, well, now there is a giant cigar to solidify that
claim. The Rocky Patel Royale Colossal is truly a massive undertaking for those
brave enough to tackle its enormous size, but the flavors and complexity that
follow will are the stuff of myths and legends!
The Rocky Patel Colossal is an imposing 7” x 62
cigar that commands attention. The bulk of the beefy stick is made up of lush
Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. A unique double binder comprised of Connecticut
Broadleaf and Connecticut Shade tobaccos hold the chunky filler while a
sensuous Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper leaf covers it all. Turn off your clock and
clear your schedule before lighting up because time is simply not a
consideration.
Once the Colossal is aflame, prepare for an
onslaught of earth, cedar, spice, leather and espresso flavors. The
medium-to-full bodied smoke seemingly morphs into a different character with
each puff, as the complexity constantly evolves while roasted nuts, caramel and
toast ride a wave of pepper that crests into a rich, yet smooth finish.
The Rocky Patel Royale Colossal is an amazing
experience that must be smoked to be believed. There is not much else one can
say about this legendary cigar other than: Just smoke it!
