Rocky Patel: LB1 Sixty Cigars

When tabacalera's are developing new blends, they're often designated by codes before the cigar's true name is decided. For Rocky Patel's LB1 series, though, the brand opted simply to maintain the blend's factory code. As a cigar, it features an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder, and fillers that comprise ligero from Jamastran, Honduras, and leaf grown on Rocky's farms in Nicaragua's Condega and Estelí regions. A wonderfully straightforward, no-nonsense blend, the LB1 cigar is hand-rolled at Rocky's El Paraíso factory in Honduras.
