Rocky Patel Royal Guard

Royal Guard by Rocky Patel draws from the discipline and legacy of the elite Jordanian Royal Guard—an institution built on loyalty above all else. As the 23rd entry in Smoke Inn’s long-running Microblend Series, it’s also the first to enlist Rocky Patel, bringing together two respected names for an experience rooted in heritage and built for the modern palate.

At the heart of this cigar is a unique Ecuadorian Habano wrapper known as P-33, selected for its balance of richness and structure. It’s paired with a Jalapa-grown binder and a filler core of Estelí viso, Jalapa viso, and Estelí ligero—layers that deliver medium-plus strength with a refined complexity. Flavors unfold with sweet earth, toasted walnut, and molasses, anchored by a peppery retrohale that stays sharp but never overwhelms.

To match the weight of the blend, the team selected a singular 6½” x 58 toro grande size. This format offers a slow, deliberate burn and enough runway for the profile to evolve throughout. Like its namesake, the Royal Guard cigar doesn’t shout—it stands its ground with quiet confidence and dependability.
