Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Rocky Patel ALR 2nd Edition cigar?
Rocky Patel ALR 2nd Edition is a limited, aged release from Rocky Patel, where ALR stands for Aged, Limited, and Rare. Released in 2019, it's an all-new blend rolled in 2016 and rested at least two years before sale. It earned a 96 rating from Cigar Aficionado and a spot on its Top 25 Cigars of the Year.
What does the Rocky Patel ALR 2nd Edition taste like?
Rocky Patel ALR 2nd Edition is rich and layered, with dark chocolate, espresso, and cedar up front, plus dark fruit, roasted nuts, and earth. Black pepper and baking spice run underneath. The years of aging smooth the blend into something balanced and complex rather than rough or sharp.
How strong is the Rocky Patel ALR 2nd Edition?
Rocky Patel ALR 2nd Edition is medium to full. The dark Mexican San Andres wrapper and all-Nicaraguan core give it real body and a steady pepper, but the long aging keeps it smooth rather than harsh. It's a richer, bolder smoke best suited to experienced palates.
What is the blend of the Rocky Patel ALR 2nd Edition?
Rocky Patel ALR 2nd Edition pairs a dark Mexican San Andres wrapper with a Nicaraguan binder and all-Nicaraguan filler grown on Rocky Patel's own farms in Esteli and Condega. After rolling at the TAVICUSA factory, the cigars rested at least two years before release, which is the 'aged' in ALR.
What does ALR stand for in Rocky Patel ALR 2nd Edition?
ALR stands for Aged, Limited, and Rare. Aged refers to the two-plus years the cigars rest after rolling, on top of the aged tobacco inside. Limited and rare reflect that Rocky Patel makes fewer of these than his everyday lines. The 2nd Edition followed the original 2018 ALR with a completely new blend.
What sizes and prices does Renegade carry for the Rocky Patel ALR 2nd Edition?
Renegade carries Rocky Patel ALR 2nd Edition in three box-pressed sizes: Robusto (5.5x52) at $15.33, Toro (6.5x52) at $17.33, and Sixty (6x60) at $18.50 per cigar. Boxes of 20 run $245.28 for the Robusto, $277.28 for the Toro, and $296 for the Sixty.
Is the Rocky Patel ALR 2nd Edition good for beginners?
Rocky Patel ALR 2nd Edition is more of a step-up or special-occasion cigar than a beginner smoke. It's medium to full with a dark San Andres wrapper and a $15-plus price, so it suits smokers who already enjoy fuller cigars. The long aging does make it smoother than its strength suggests.
What is the difference between the ALR 1st and 2nd Edition?
The Rocky Patel ALR 1st Edition came out in 2018; the 2nd Edition followed in 2019 as a completely new blend, not a tweak of the first. The 2nd Edition uses a Mexican San Andres wrapper over all-Nicaraguan tobacco from Rocky Patel's farms, aged at least two years after rolling, and earned a 96 from Cigar Aficionado.
