Rocky Patel Year of the Snake

A Tribute to Elegance, Transformation, and Timeless Craftsmanship

Rocky Patel’s Year of the Snake is a luxurious limited-edition release that draws inspiration from the mystique of the Chinese zodiac. Following the celebrated tradition set by last year’s release, this cigar is a bold homage to the serpent—an ancient symbol of transformation, elegance, and mystery.

Expertly handcrafted at the acclaimed TAVICUSA factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, this refined toro-format cigar features a lush, oily wrapper that encases a core of meticulously aged Nicaraguan fillers. A hearty broadleaf binder adds depth and structure, while the dual-origin filler blend delivers a sophisticated, layered flavor profile. From the first light to the final draw, expect a rich, full-bodied experience with perfect balance, slow combustion, and an even burn line.

The Year of the Snake is more than a cigar—it’s a celebration of artistry and legacy. A special international version, wrapped in Oscuro, has already debuted in Germany, offering regional nuances while maintaining the bold complexity that defines the line.

Released in conjunction with the 2025 PCA Convention & Trade Show in New Orleans, this cigar marks a milestone in Rocky Patel’s commitment to innovation and excellence. For aficionados and collectors alike, it’s an unforgettable smoking experience wrapped in symbolism and sophistication.
