Rocky Patel, Davidoff, Cohiba: Three Cigar Brands Worth Trying
An introduction to three standout cigar brands, Rocky Patel, Davidoff and Cohiba, with their styles, prices and first picks.
There are hundreds of cigar brands, but these three cover most palates, from smooth and light to deep and full, from fair priced to premium.
Rocky Patel: flavour rich, fair priced
Rocky Patel shines in Nicaraguan blends full of vanilla and cedar. The A.L.R. Robusto pack of five is an economical way in, while the Vintage 1992 Sampler lets you taste richer, long aged leaf.
Davidoff: the benchmark of refinement
Davidoff chases smoothness and a clean palate. The Grand Cru No.2 is elegant, while the Nicaragua Toro is stronger with pepper and cocoa. This brand suits those who like restraint and consistency.
Cohiba: the Cuban summit
Cohiba is the icon of premium Cuban cigars. The Siglo VI layers honey, dried flowers and cream, a stick to save for a special occasion once your taste is settled.
