The month of October was probably one of the more exciting months in the cigar industry. This month marked not only the heart of the Fall release cycle for cigars, but some major releases. Overall, this was a great month to be a cigar enthusiast. Let’s take a look at some of the releases that […]
Rocky Patel Xen by Nish Patel If you have listened to any of Rocky Patel’s radio commercials (such as on Cigar Dave), you know that Rocky Patel is passionate about cigars. Quite frankly, Rocky is also a very good salesman when it comes to his brand. Thus as Rocky Patel’s Xen by Nish Patel was […]
Rocky Patel Thunder by Nimish With four new cigars that were unveiled at the 2011 IPCPR retail trade show, it was going to be a busy year for Rocky Patel Premium Cigars. Add to the fact that EO Brands has two new releases and there is a new Java cigar, it’s no surprise that Rocky […]
Rocky Patel Vintage 2003 Cameroon While I didn’t sample any of the new Rocky Patel cigars at IPCPR, the word on the street has been that Rocky Patel Premium Cigars had a very strong year for their new releases. One of the four cigars that a part of this release was a new addition to […]

Rocky Patel Thunder by Nimish The interesting thing is that when it comes to Rocky Patel cigars – Rocky has his fans and he has his detractors. Regardless of what side of the fence you are on, I am a fan of Rocky Patel because he is someone who truly fights for our cigar rights. […]
La Bomba (pic in front of an 601 Red box) Every year, there are a few cigars that are some of the most anticipated new releases for the year. In 2011, there is little doubt that EO Brands’ 601 La Bomba falls into that category. For the past few months, I’ve been following this cigar […]
