Open Cigar Box ALR Second Edition as Casa de Montecristo Exclusive

Rocky Patel ALR Second Edition is now available in a new size, Robusto Grande (5 1/2” x 54). This size was created exclusively for Casa de Montecristo’s retail stores and lounges and will be available beginning in February of 2024.

In 2016, Rocky blended the original ALR cigar featuring San Andrés wrapper. Deciding that this blend would develop even further with age, he ordered a short production run of 120,000 cigars. The cigars were laid to rest in an aging room and locked away for two years. This process was replicated for the Rocky Patel ALR Second Edition Robusto Grande.

The ALR Second Edition Robusto Grande has warm cocoa notes and hints of cream – a perfect
choice to pair with your morning coffee, yet bold enough to match your favorite spirit. “We at Rocky Patel are thrilled to provide Casa de Montecristo with one of our most exclusive cigars in a special shape,” said Rocky Patel, owner of Rocky Patel Cigar. “This rare Vitola in the ALR2 provides the same beautiful smoke and flavor components one is used to smoking in our Award Winning ALR2. This special shape, however, does lead to an enhanced smoking experience.”

Casa de Montecristo’s CEO Sherri Sieminski summarized the importance of this release. “Rocky Patel is one of Casa’s most important partners and the ALR2 is a true customer favorite,” Sieminski said. “We continue to seek quality premium products that can only be found at Casa de Montecristo, and we are honored to collaborate on this exclusive offering for our guests.”

The Rocky Patel ALR Second Edition Robusto Grande will be offered in 10-count boxes and priced at an MSRP of $16.00 per cigar. Casa Rewards members will have first access to purchase this cigar when it goes on sale later this week.
