Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Rocky Patel Bold cigar?
Rocky Patel Bold, sold as Bold by Nish Patel, is a medium-to-full cigar blended by Nish Patel, Rocky's younger brother. Released in 2013, it was Nish's second namesake cigar after the Xen. It's known for an aged Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and an unusual double binder, and it lives up to its name with big, rich flavor.
What does the Rocky Patel Bold taste like?
Rocky Patel Bold leads with black pepper and cocoa, then settles into dark chocolate, roasted coffee, sweet spice, and a note of cinnamon. Some smokers pick up a black cherry sweetness in the first half. The aged Broadleaf wrapper adds depth, and the flavors stay rich from light to nub.
How strong is the Rocky Patel Bold?
Rocky Patel Bold smokes medium to full, heavier than a typical everyday cigar. The double binder and Nicaraguan filler give it real strength and a steady pepper, while the aged wrapper keeps it from turning harsh. It's a fuller, flavor-forward smoke best suited to smokers who like some power.
What is the blend of the Rocky Patel Bold?
Rocky Patel Bold pairs an aged Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper with a double binder, one leaf of Mexican San Andres and one of Connecticut, over all-Nicaraguan filler from Jalapa and Esteli. Running two binders from different countries is unusual, and it's a big part of what gives the Bold its layered, full flavor.
Who is Nish Patel and why is the cigar called Bold?
Rocky Patel Bold is named for and blended by Nish Patel, Rocky Patel's younger brother, who spent five years developing the blend. It was his second namesake release after the Xen, and it's part of the Patel Family line. Anyone who's met Nish will tell you the bold name fits the man.
Where is the Rocky Patel Bold made?
Rocky Patel Bold is rolled at the TAVICUSA factory in Esteli, Nicaragua, Rocky Patel's own operation. The Nicaraguan filler comes from Jalapa and Esteli, including tobacco from Nish Patel's farms. That local sourcing and in-house rolling are part of why the blend stays so consistent.
What sizes and prices does Renegade carry for the Rocky Patel Bold?
Renegade carries Rocky Patel Bold in four sizes: Robusto (5.5x50) at $10.97, Toro (6.5x52) at $11.17, Torpedo (6 1/8x52) at $12.31, and Sixty (6x60) at $12.39 per cigar. The Robusto and Toro are also available in 21-count boxes at $184.30 and $187.67.
Why does the Rocky Patel Bold have two binders?
The Rocky Patel Bold uses two binders instead of the usual one: a Mexican San Andres leaf and a Connecticut leaf. The San Andres brings an earthy, dark sweetness, while the Connecticut adds smoothness and balance. Together they thicken the smoke and round out the pepper, which is part of the Bold's signature.
