Rated 95 and Named #9 Cigar of the Year of 2020!
Number 6 is #9 in 2020, according to Cigar Aficionado. What a flavorful cigar it is, too!
Rocky Patel has busted into the top cigars of the year yet again with an absolute banger that earned 95 points and that delivers about all the flavor you can handle. While everyone is focused on Nicaragua year in, year out (with good reason), brands like Rocky Patel and Alec Bradley are over in Honduras finding incredibly flavorful leaf and finding ways to incorporate it into modern blends. There, the soil produces incredibly rich and complex tobacco that definitely has a place in modern blends built to impress.
In 2020, the judges noted the flavors of vanilla, cocoa, orange peel, and black pepper – a real mashup of exciting tastes and aromas that mark the humbly-named Rocky Patel Number 6 Corona as a cigar that we’ll all be enjoying for years to come. There is some Nicaraguan Plasencia leaf in the blend, but the wrapper and binder are Honduran, leading to a medium-full strength experience that’s potent and spicy.
Another fine stogie from Rakesh Patel.

United StatesPrime one for a RP Corona 6
When you smoke you do get a little pepper but as time goes it does settle plus easy smoke & overall good balance & not so it'll overpower you. I only did one stick but sometimes one stick is what you need for a possible unknown so you least get set in case it's a problem but heck now you know.
United StatesGreat Smoke with any drink.
I run an Instagram page and Presently rebuilding my blog. Instagram page grampi_brews I post about food, drinks, cigars and just plain old fun. My son in law, a US Navy welder, recently gave me a Number 6, and while checking my email, a promo came up for the "#9 Cigar Of The Year" I usually like my Cigars with a nice Bourbon or Scotch. Tonight I was drinking a Moscow Mule and i had to try. I Loved It!! I now have another new favorite.

Rocky 6
Excellent cigar. This thin cigar acts like a much bigger boy with it's long burn time and big flavor. No question I will buy more of this one.
