Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Rocky Patel Sixty taste like?
The Rocky Patel Sixty delivers a medium-to-full-bodied smoke with flavors of coffee, caramel, and leather, supported by cedar and subtle red pepper spice. The San Andrés wrapper adds a natural sweetness and earthy depth that develops across the smoke. The two-year factory aging rounds out any rough edges and produces a smooth, consistent burn from start to finish.
What is the blend of the Rocky Patel Sixty?
The Rocky Patel Sixty uses a dark Mexican San Andrés wrapper over an all-Nicaraguan binder and long-filler combination. All tobacco was rolled and then aged a minimum of two years before release. The cigars are box-pressed and handmade at Rocky Patel's TAVICUSA factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.
Why is the Rocky Patel Sixty called "Sixty"?
Rocky Patel released the Rocky Patel Sixty in 2021 to mark his 60th birthday on February 26th of that year. He had the cigars rolled well in advance and aged the entire batch for two years before putting them on shelves. It continues a tradition of milestone birthday cigars — previous releases include the Rocky Patel 50 and Rocky Patel Fifty-Five.
How strong is the Rocky Patel Sixty?
The Rocky Patel Sixty is a medium-to-full-strength cigar. It starts in medium territory and builds through the smoke, with the strength increasing into medium-full by the final third. It's not an overpowering smoke, but it has enough body and pepper that it's better suited for experienced smokers who've moved past mild blends.
What ratings has the Rocky Patel Sixty received?
The Rocky Patel Sixty earned a 96-point rating from Cigar Aficionado and was named the #2 Cigar of the Year for 2022 — the highest-rated non-Cuban cigar on that list. Cigar Journal ranked it #3 cigar of the year in 2022, and the Halfwheel Consensus placed it #14 in their Top 25 for the same year.
What sizes does the Rocky Patel Sixty come in at Renegade Cigars?
Renegade Cigars carries the Rocky Patel Sixty in three box-pressed sizes: Robusto (5½×50) at $18.75 per cigar or $290.19 for a box of 20, Toro (6½×52) at $19.04 per cigar or $308.04 per box, and the flagship Sixty vitola (6×60) at $20.99 per cigar or $342.55 per box. All three are regular production and available in-store and online.
Is the Rocky Patel Sixty a good cigar for beginners?
The Rocky Patel Sixty is not the best starting point for beginners. It's a medium-to-full-strength cigar with a bold San Andrés wrapper, and it builds in intensity as it smokes. Beginners tend to do better starting with something milder and working up to it. That said, it's not a punishing smoke — smokers a few cigars into their journey who want to step up from mild blends could handle the Robusto size comfortably.
What is the Mexican San Andrés wrapper on the Rocky Patel Sixty?
Mexican San Andrés is a dark, slightly oily wrapper leaf grown in the San Andrés Tuxtla Valley of Veracruz, Mexico. On the Rocky Patel Sixty, it gives the cigar its characteristic dark chocolate-brown appearance and contributes natural sweetness, earthiness, and a touch of spice. San Andrés is sometimes called a "maduro-adjacent" leaf — it's dark and rich but retains more pepper and tobacco character than a traditional maduro.
How does the Rocky Patel Sixty compare to the Rocky Patel Vintage 1992?
The Rocky Patel Sixty is noticeably bolder and more tobacco-forward than the Vintage 1992. The Sixty uses a dark Mexican San Andrés wrapper and all-Nicaraguan tobacco, which produces stronger pepper and earth tones. The Vintage 1992 uses a Sumatra wrapper and blends Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos for a smoother, more balanced profile. If you enjoy the Vintage 1992 and want more body and complexity, the Sixty is the natural step up.
What should I pair with the Rocky Patel Sixty?
The Rocky Patel Sixty pairs well with dark roast coffee, bourbon, or a rum-based aged spirit. The cigar's coffee and leather notes match the roasted bitterness in dark coffee, and the sweetness of a wheated bourbon complements the San Andrés wrapper's natural caramel quality. Avoid light lagers or white wine — they get overwhelmed by the Sixty's body.
