Each year, Rocky Patel launches many new products, ranging from new cigars, line extensions, and limited editions. Pair this with being in the business for twenty years, and sooner or later, the ideas on how to name cigars run over. This was the case: “Number 6”, simply comes from the blend code. Great complexity and evolution, and exceptionally balanced.
It develops black pepper, earth, and nuances of incense. The spices become more and more pronounced, culminating in hot spices. Then, walnut and roasted notes, which become protagonists in the finale.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews, those that scored the best score get re-selected. These products were then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared, and the TOP 5 are made.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs in order to give the right space to all the producing countries. From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. Together with the Best Brands, the Best Buy, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in the Winter 2020 issue of CigarsLover Magazine.
