Rocky Patel is a ROCK STAR in the cigar world. Everyone knows the name and everyone at the wholesale international trade show for premium cigars IPCPR 2013 wants to talk to Mr. Popular. How did I eventually catch him??? I don’t know, but I did. After knowing Rocky personally for around eight years, I still had to wait for his many photo ops with loyal customers who were attending the show. Rocky Patel introduced five new lines at the show and I had him talk to me about two of them: RP Royale and the PLATINUM. I smoked them both and I really enjoyed the Platinum the best, but like Rocky said, this cigar is for the more experienced smoker and might be a “bit too much” for the occasional smoker. If you know and truly appreciate fine top quality cigars, keep your look out for the PLATINUM coming 4th quarter to a specially selected retailer near you. And listen to ROCKY who said “these cigars will be hard to find…”
