Description
The Rocky Patel Disciple Sixty is the 6 x 60 gordo of the Disciple line, with a Mexican San Andrés wrapper around a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan filler, rolled in Estelí, Nicaragua. At a 60 ring gauge it is the thickest size Rocky Patel lists for Disciple.
What It Tastes Like
Cigar Insider, the newsletter from Cigar Aficionado, gave the Disciple Sixty 88 points on April 5, 2022 and called its strength medium. The reviewers noted an eye-catching wrapper on a hefty cigar, and a smoke led by earth and cedar wood with touches of mineral, citrus and flowers. They found the finish a little soap-like but reported an even burn and draw. Rocky Patel cites wood, earth and light pepper.
Who It’s For
- Big-ring fans who like a wide 60-gauge cigar with plenty of smoke.
- San Andrés wrapper fans curious how that dark Mexican leaf reads over Nicaraguan tobacco.
- Rocky Patel regulars who want a round Disciple instead of a box-pressed Sixty.

About the Disciple Line
Rocky Patel introduced Disciple at the PCA trade show in July 2021, and Cigar Aficionado’s report from that show tied its extra power to the dark Mexican San Andrés leaf and the Nicaraguan tobacco under it. Halfwheel reported in 2021 that it had begun shipping and noted that Disciple draws on the same core tobacco types as the Sixty by Rocky Patel line released alongside it.
Pairing and Storage
Since Cigar Insider rated this size medium, the medium-bodied picks in our pairing guide fit it well: bourbon, a Rioja-style red or a strong coffee.
