Rocky Patel Seed to Smoke Shade

Rolling some of the most famed premium cigars over the past three decades, Rocky Patel is not only known for their embrace of the everyman; not only known for their great efforts to fight for the rights of cigar smokers; not only known for offering a profile and/or intensity for damn-near every palate; but they also offer an equally wide range of price points, now spanning from the über-luxurious (we're talking $100 cigars!) to some of the best bang-for-your-buck smokes on the market (more in the range of $2.50 sticks).

If you find yourself in the latter camp, Rocky Patel's highly affordable Seed to Smoke line is for you! The RP Seed to Smoke cigars feature two versions: Seed to Smoke Classic and Seed to Smoke Shade. Both cigars employ a Cuban sandwich-style construction, meaning the cigars use full leaves for the wrapper and binder ingredients, swapping out the long-leaf filler for short fillers that are repurposed from the trimmings of other Rocky Patel cigars on the factory floor. This allows the cigars to offer similar flavor profiles and dependable construction, while being priced low enough for everyday cigar hobbyists to stock up and smoke to their heart's content!

The Rocky Patel Seed to Smoke Shade cigar is the milder of the two Seed to Smoke cigars, using a Connecticut-seed wrapper grown in Honduras, a Honduran binder, and mixed filler from Nicaragua and Honduras. Rolled alongside Rocky's acclaimed premium lines in Honduras, the RP Seed to Smoke Shade cigar lights up with a mild-medium intensity, hitting notes of barnyard hay, cedar, and peppered toast. This is a cigar to accompany life's everyday tasks without worrying about taking notes or other pretentious etiquette...
