Cigar Conexion commands twelve percent of this market share currently and has robust plans to capture an additional four percent this financial year. Cigars best suited for the Indian market, based on consumer taste, lifestyle, climate, etc. are a nutty, charcoal taste and, are mild, mild to medium and medium bodied.

Speaking at the launch, Hemanth Sureddi, managing director, INTABAC (Cigar Conexion) said: "Rocky Patel's brand of Cigars have had a tryst with India since it was launched. We try our best to introduce new flavors, aromas customised to Indian cigar smokers. We have made a hit and hope to convert many more smokers to this healthier option. We have reached that inflection point from where we see a rising number of Cigar aficionados."

With four years in development, the RP 20th Anniversary cigar blend combines fillers from Esteli and Jalapa, Nicaragua, as well as Jamastran, Honduras, dressed in an elegant Honduran wrapper. With premium, flavourful tobaccos and sporting a perfect box-press with expert construction, the 20th Anniversary has all the makings of a legendary cigar. Your palate will experience flavours of leather, espresso, cinnamon, mocha, earth, wood, pepper, and light spice.

The 20th burns slowly and allows you to savor the depth and richness of flavours, setting the table for a truly memorable smoke, one worthy of celebrating a 20th anniversary.

"After 20 years of diligently working in the cigar industry, I decided to save some of our oldest and rarest tobaccos blending them with select tobaccos from our own farms. Resulting in a very complex cigar that is very well balanced and special due to the extraordinary aging and maturity. Again we have defined all odds in releasing the very special and rare 20th Anniversary cigar. Hope you get to enjoy one!" said Rocky Patel, founder entrepreneur, Rocky Patel Incorporation.
