Rocky Patel A.L.R. Second Edition Cigars
Rocky Patel A.L.R. Second Edition cigars from our walk-in humidor in Yuma, Arizona: the 5½ x 50 Robusto, the 6½ x 52 Toro and the 6 x 60 Sixty, all box-pressed. A.L.R. stands for Aged, Limited and Rare, according to Cigar Aficionado. Rocky Patel blended the Second Edition in 2016, rolled a short run of 120,000 cigars and held them in its aging room for two years before the October 2019 release. The Toro made Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 twice: No. 5 for 2019 at 94 points and No. 4 for 2023 at 96. Choose a single, a 5-pack or a box of 20 on each product page.

The A.L.R. Second Edition blend
| Wrapper | Mexican San Andrés |

Rocky Patel names only the San Andrés wrapper on its own site and lists the rest of the blend as undisclosed; the Nicaraguan binder and filler come from Cigar Aficionado. Cigar Aficionado also notes that the Second Edition is a completely new blend, not a version of the First Edition. For the first run, the magazine reported only 2,000 boxes of the Toro.

Ratings and tasting notes
Toro, 6½ x 52: No. 5 on Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 for 2019 at 94 points, then No. 4 for 2023 after a 96-point review that found rich layers of nutmeg, German chocolate cake and shredded coconut.
Sixty, 6 x 60: Cigar Aficionado scored it 92 in December 2025 for leather, coffee, sweet nuts and toast with a hint of dark chocolate, after 91 in 2020; Cigar Insider gave it 91 when the line was released in 2019.
Robusto, 5½ x 50: Cigar Insider scored it 89 in November 2019, bold and cedary with hints of chocolate, vanilla and black licorice, and halfwheel gave it 89 the following month.
Not to be confused with
The A.L.R. Second Edition Sixty is the 6 x 60 size of this line. The Rocky Patel Sixty is a separate line, made for Rocky Patel's 60th birthday, and the Disciple also has a size called Sixty.
Choosing one
- The Top 25 size: the Toro, the cigar on both Top 25 lists.
- The shorter smoke: the Robusto, 5½ x 50.
- The widest: the Sixty, 6 x 60, the size Cigar Aficionado scored 92 in December 2025.

What to pour with A.L.R. Second Edition
Our house suggestion from the bar, as on our Rocky Patel page for the San Andrés-wrapped cigars: a barrel-proof bourbon or a rye. Our cigar and whiskey pairing guide has more. In the lounge, ask the bar for a pour from the spirits menu.
Keeping them fresh
Store them at a steady 65 to 70 percent relative humidity, in a humidor or a sealed bag with a two-way humidity pack. Every order ships with a Boveda humidity pack, and our cigar storage guide covers the rest.
