Two new lines from Rocky Patel Premium Cigars, Inc. are shipping to stores today.

Rocky Patel is celebrating his 25th year in the cigar business with a cigar called Quarter Century. It uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a Honduran binder and  Nicaraguan fillers, as well as other fillers that are not being disclosed.

The cigars were aged for two years after rolling and some of the tobacco was aged for 10 years prior to rolling.
