Description
The Rocky Patel Number 6 Robusto is a 5 1/2 x 50 robusto with a Honduran Corojo wrapper, a Honduran binder and a filler of Honduran and Nicaraguan leaf. It is rolled at the El Paraíso factory in Danlí, Honduras, and Rocky Patel rates the blend medium in strength.
What It Tastes Like
Cigar Aficionado gave this exact 5 1/2 x 50 size 90 points in its October 2020 issue and listed it as medium-full. Its tasters found a forceful pepper opening easing into leather and nutmeg, then caramel sweetness at the close. Cigar Coop scored it 89 in September 2020 (medium strength, medium-full body), with natural tobacco and earth leading, pepper, cedar and floral notes in support, and a touch of bitterness in the middle third.
Who It’s For
- Corojo fans who want a Honduran-grown Corojo wrapper in a standard robusto.
- Smokers stepping up from mild cigars who want a medium blend that Rocky Patel pitches as mixing sweetness with pepper.
- Number 6 Corona fans curious about the blend at a 50 ring.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- 90 points from Cigar Aficionado for this size (October 2020)
- Honduran from wrapper to binder, with Nicaraguan leaf in the filler
- A robusto length that fits a shorter smoke
Cons
- Both 2020 reviews noted flaws: a slightly firm draw (Cigar Aficionado) and an uneven burn line that needed touch-ups (Cigar Coop)
- The peppery start may feel sharp to very mild palates
About the Number 6
Rocky Patel introduced the Number 6 at the 2019 IPCPR trade show; Cigar Coop and halfwheel say the name refers to the factory’s internal code for the blend. halfwheel reports a Jamastran Valley binder and a filler that mixes Jamastran leaf with Nicaraguan tobacco grown in Jalapa.
