Though many cigar smokers might not recognize the name Erik Nording, pipe enthusiasts know him as a legendary craftsman. Rocky Patel created the Nording as a tribute to this tobacco icon. The cigar combines Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers with a Nicaraguan binder and is wrapped in a handsome Honduran leaf. The outcome is a flavourful, medium-bodied smoke with toasty sweetness and a lasting finish.
On the first light, the cigar greets the palate with pronounced notes of black pepper, cedar, and roasted espresso, delivering a bold yet smooth opening. As the smoke develops, flavours evolve into a pleasing combination of dark chocolate, leather, and toasted nuts, underscored by a faint, natural sweetness that adds complexity. A lingering hint of earth and warm baking spices—cinnamon and nutmeg—further deepens the profile. The retrohale introduces additional nuance, with touches of caramel and a delicate floral whisper. With excellent construction, an even burn, and an effortless draw, the Rocky Patel Nording Robusto is an outstanding choice for aficionados who value a balanced, complex, and richly flavoured cigar crafted from a skilled Nicaraguan blend.
