Rocky Patel Decade Emperor
Rocky Patel Decade Emperor
Created to mark Rocky Patel’s first decade in the cigar business, Rocky Patel Decade Emperor is the line’s large-format 6 x 60 offering, handmade in Honduras with a dark Ecuador Sumatra wrapper over Nicaraguan tobaccos. The blend is known for a rich, creamy texture and a medium to full-bodied profile that gives this celebrated series much of its lasting appeal.
Expect a flavorful mix of black cherry, chocolate, cream, and a spicy, nutty finish rather than a one-note broad-gauge smoke. The Emperor’s substantial size provides a long, unhurried session, typically around 75 to 105 minutes depending on pace, making it a practical choice when you want the Decade blend in a slower-burning format.
The Decade line earned major recognition when another vitola in the series received a 95 rating and landed among Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of the Year for 2008, helping establish it as one of Rocky Patel’s most recognized releases. In the Emperor size, that same blend is presented in a fuller ring gauge that emphasizes the cigar’s creamy body and layered sweetness while staying true to the character that made Decade a staple for many seasoned smokers.
