But it was some great new cigars that caught our attention!<\/p>\n<p>Cigar smokers can expect three new releases from Rocky Patel this year. The 20th Anniversary is the next installment celebrating another 5 year milestone following up the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emersonscigars.com\/cat\/928\/Rocky-Patel-Decade.aspx\">Decade<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emersonscigars.com\/cat\/1392\/Rocky-Patel-15th-Anniversary.aspx\">15th Anniversary<\/a>. The Rocky Patel Sungrown Maduro is a bump up in strength from the regular <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emersonscigars.com\/cat\/932\/Rocky-Patel-Sungrown.aspx\">Rocky Patel Sungrown<\/a> line and features a dark Broadleaf wrapper. And finally, Rocky Patel has enlisted legendry cuban roller Hamlet Paredes who has blended his first non-Cuban cigar with Tabaquero, which is scheduled to be released in September.<\/p>\n<table>\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 25%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-6669 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/emersonscigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_5200.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/emersonscigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_5200-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Rocky Patel 20th Anniversary\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-6552\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-6552'>\n\t\t\t\tRocky Patel 20th Anniversary\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/emersonscigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_5211.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/emersonscigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_5211-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Rocky Patel Sungrown Maduro\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-6553\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-6553'>\n\t\t\t\tRocky Patel Sungrown Maduro\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/emersonscigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_5212.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/emersonscigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_5212-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Rocky Patel Sungrown Maduro\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-6554\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-6554'>\n\t\t\t\tRocky Patel Sungrown Maduro\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/emersonscigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_5214.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/emersonscigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_5214-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Hamlet Paredes Showing Off His Skills\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-6555\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-6555'>\n\t\t\t\tHamlet Paredes Showing Off His Skills\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/emersonscigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_5219.jpg'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/emersonscigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_5219-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Rocky Patel Tabaquero\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-6557\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-6557'>\n\t\t\t\tRocky Patel Tabaquero\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/table>\n<p>Stay tuned as we will bring you more information as these new cigars start to become available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emersonscigars.com\/\">Emerson&#8217;s Cigars<\/a>!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Next up we headed over to the Rocky Patel booth.
