if this doesn't make you appreciate paying for a good cigar, you are missing the point.

I met you and shook your hand Mr Patel , back in 1995 or 1996 in my local cigar store in Connecticut, USA. You were promoting your brand and offering buy 1 or 2 (I can't remember?) and get one free. I picked up a few and enjoyed them. You could tell you had a passion and love for cigars. I am very happy things worked out for you and you are living your dream today. Fellow cigar smokers, this man is the real deal. It's been twenty plus years since he earned his way - the hard way, by going door to door, pounding the pavement and winning over cigar smokers with his energy, gracious demeanor and his passion and love for a wonderful product we all know today. Indian Tabac is no more, but in its place we have so many fantastic cigars by Rocky Patel. The awesome Decade and Royale, Fifty-Five, Sun grown, Vintage lines, super Ligero, Edge, Anniversary, etc, etc,..... Way to go !!!

By far the best video out there on cigar production from seed to box and beyond, imo. Absolutely fascinating.

The first premium cigar I ever smoked was RP Vintage 92, and knew instantly I was hooked. For my wedding day my wife bought me and the boys a half box of 92’s and it made the day that much better. I have smoked a lot of different brands, sizes and shapes but always find myself going back to a RP. After watching this video it makes me appreciate them that much more. I love to see someone so passionate about something they truly believe in. Thank you sir and your team for putting so much time, passion and care into each stick that I have enjoyed.

Alright, I have watched this video a third time. I love to listen to Rocky's passion about the cigar he sells. I understand now why cigars are rather expensive. Love this video!

Been researching cigars, after watching this, I'm putting Rocky Patel at the top of my list.

To all the workers involved in the process, I salute you!

"Healthy nursery, healthy farm" just like life should be, your health,your family, your relationships, your job, your passions need care...300 hands and a whole lot of heart, all takeaways we can learn from... Thank you Rocky !!

First Cigar I ever smoked was a Rocky Patel. Now I'm in the Cigar hobby at the age of 25. The simple pleasures of life not many people dare enjoy. Happy holidays to everyone.

Thank you to all the people involved in making cigars. An amazing effort and passion has to be there so we can smoke such fine cigars. Thanks

My first Rocky Patel cigar was the Edge Maduro and I was very surprised how enjoyable it was. I’m also a fan of the Edge Habano. I’ve tried so many RP cigars but I keep going back to the Decade again and again, it’s a favorite of mine. I like the Patel’s enthusiasm and dedication toward fighting anti-cigar legislation.

Love seeing how one of my favorite cigars is made. A big thank you to Rocky Patel and everyone who put so much time, effort and passion into a great cigar

I've smoked a massive amount of Rocky Patels. So consistent. That's the mark of an excellent cigar in my book. But I had no idea that this much work went into the process

Legit operation! Your willingness to share your process for making fine cigars, has made me a Rocky Patel customer for life! Cheers!

Your passion for the plant and the process has delivered!.. Pleasure to take the tour. Thank you Rocky and all involved for bringing us your consistently outstanding blends.

This is probably one of the best and most informative videos I’ve seen about what goes into making a Premium cigar. Thanks a lot.

Wow, super impressive. I've never had a bad RP, and they are priced fairly reasonably as well.

excellent production. looking forward to smoking a rocky patel

Love the amount of quality control RP puts their cigars through!!

Rocky Patel drinking game - a shot every time he says Tobacco

Very well made video. I knew a lot went into a fine cigar, but not this much! Learned a lot about them! Thanks, for the great video and great cigars too!

Your passion for cigars is very evident in the delivery of this video. I had no idea cigars were so labor intensive and time consuming. This video was not only interesting but very informative. Now I have to try your beautiful cigars. It worked! Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding behind the scenes video! Rocky Patel was one of the brands I started my cigar journey with and a brand I still love to this day.

My husband and I just started our cigar journey and really wondered how cigars were rolled in order to learn to appreciate this new experience. We discovered this video and truly enjoyed it. This 30 min video has added 100 fold to our appreciation. We discovered the love and labor to bring that cigar into our back yard and in our hands. We are headed out to have our smoke and will ponder upon the people, the process and the love that it took to get this marvelous experience. Thank you

THIS GUY KNOWS HIS STUFF! Thats why he’s the top of his company 👌🏼 good job bro, great info 👍🏼

I never realized there was so much involved with creating cigars! It is really a science in itself, and this man is obviously well-acquainted with the whole process and the technology involved. I think I would volunteer to work there for a while just to learn, if I could. Pasame una!

I've smoked cigars since I was 22, I'm 55 now and had to give up smoking due to heath reasons, but I made a pact with my son that if I make it to 70, I can smoke cigars again! I'm counting the days!

This was an AMAZING video! Informative, interesting and educational. Surprised just how much work and quality control goes into RP cigars. How can anybody dislike this video?!

Have watched this vid a bunch of times and each time I love it as if it is the first. Patel, I love your passion and love your cigars. Thanks for all you do for the industry. Salute.

I seriously enjoy watching this video so much, I think I actually come back and watch it every couple of months. I love listening to the process behind these beautiful cigars.

This is one of my favorite video's

Ive never tried a Rocky Patel cigar, but this video was awesome and i will definitely be trying one soon.

Rocky has very high standards . They make amazing Cigars and I have had the pleasure to meet the Patels and the are all very classy .

I can really appreciate Rocky Patel's very inspiriing love, pride, the knowlege, the science, the traditions, the innovations and the people involved...what an operation and beautifully explained !! An excellent and consistent product...fire it up Rocky !!

I met Rocky in 2009 at Smoke Signals in Port Jefferson , New York. We smoked the Edge cigars for years and I still smoke them, but , the Decade is my favorite cigar of all time. Thanks Rocky for putting all the effort in so we can enjoy it.

I can watch this video for ever!

I got a chance to meet Rocky Patel many years ago. Nice guy. Great smokes.

I just bought a case of Rocky Patel Cigars (The Edge, amazing value), and I am delighted to see the guy who put all this together is so involved in the business. Rocky you've got a customer for life.

He may just be one of the greatest salesmen of all time. An absolute pleasure to watch.

Congratulations on establishing a successful family business based on pride, hard work and high standards. Thanks for sharing this video. Continued success!

The very best video on cigar production. From seed to shop, you get to see and learn the whole process in making a premium hand made cigar. This video, hosted by, none other than Rocky Patel himself. Very instructional, and for anyone who enjoys the pleasure of smoking a premium hand made cigar, this video is a must. And remember, "When you say no to Cigars, you say no to Life".

Beautifully done. I learned a lot and enjoyed it. My first cigar was two months ago: a dark dominion. Since then, I have smoked three other Rocky Patels. I see no reason to purchase beyond your variety. As a 50 year old female, it has taken me many years to be bold and try cigars. I believe more women should step up and learn to benefit from occasional cigar smoking. Thank you for amazing product and for making this video

my dad and I enjoy "Rocky time" for a reason. Also Rocky Patel's story is one of my favorites, he's an interesting man.

Absolutely brilliant video. You cant have anything but respect for such a dedicated man and his team of workers. Fantastic cigars.

Truly impressive. Takes the term hand made to the next level.

This is a amazing video. Makes you appreciate what goes into creating a fine crop of cigars!

Love this video from the factory. The passionate approach of each member of the factory is well displayed. They all shine at what they do and it reflects in the product. Thanks for making wonderful cigars that I have truly enjoyed time and time again.

Nice video, now I wanna try a Rocky Patel !!!!!

Great video ~ watching this I'm amazed your cigars are such good value. Just shows you don't need to spend Behike money for a good smoke.

I had to watch this a second time! I love this video. Thanks Rocky.

I have watched this video about 4 times and I enjoy watching the process and the beauty of making a great stogie. Honestly, I love Rocky Patel’s, they never fail!

loved this video the best on production. He seems really cool, im headed to the cigar shop today after a quick haircut.

I didn't have a clue that this much work went into every RP cigar. I have been a RP fan for years and knew the first time I smoked a box press cigar that I liked it a lot lol. Now I know how and why things are what they are. I am impressed with the fact that every thing is done by hand. They look and smoke like a machine manufactured cigar, but I now know its all hand made. great job folks - - I think I will smoke one now and I fully expect it to be twice as good as before.

Had my first premium cigar on my 21st birthday and proud to say it was a RP corojo

Thank you for this video. Love your cigars, Rocky. The time and effort you take is appreciated.

Me: I'm never going to smoke. Me after this vid: damn I really wanna try a rocky Patel cigar

Warning to newbies: once you've had quality cigars, it's impossible to go back to the cheap stuff. It can be costly ...

Hey: Rocky Patel I've been toasting cigars for a couple of months know and I was looking for that cigar that delivers. I came across your Cigar and I'm so glad I did. When I smoked your cigar I sensed I was smoking something truly special. I started to research your cigars and was very impressed with the reviews. Watching the video summoned it all up! Thank You for all you do! A new customer for life George Cardona Jr

One of two of my favorite cigars. Thank you Rocky!!!

Great video... Thanks for sharing

im trying to giv-up cigarettes, but lately ive been drawn to watching these beautiful cigars , i loved this video thank you

I just picked up a sample pack of the edge robustos. I hadn't smoked cigars in a few years, but I was given some Cubans as a gift. I was excited but they turned out to be fakes and didn't taste good at all. I was disappointed, but I didn't want to waste the supplies I had purchased (humidor, cutter e.t.c). So at the liquor store I picked up the sample pack, never knowing of RP before, just to have something to try. I tell you, I am in love! These are delicious, quality, and complex with an experience I was not expecting! After finding this video and doing more research, I'm sure I'll be a customer for life. Fantastic product!

So much goes into growing and rolling cigars. Thanks for the tour.

I smoked first was ROCKY PATEL ( trust me I tasted correctly the cigar) None gave me that satisfaction ever So till now didn't smoked any thing (In India it's hard and costly got a chance of this master piece , luckily from a friend of mine I got a chance 5 sticks n really enjoyed it )

What an awesome video by the cigar maestro himself. Was actually hoping to see Rosa hand roll a maduro torpedo on her thigh, but they no longer do that anymore. Bought my first batch of Rocky Patel's Vintage 1990 in January 2011 of which I have set aside 5 of the most beautiful boxed 7 inchers in my 250ct humidor which smells wonderful when I open its glass door. There is nothing compared to it. And for the idiot below that thinks RP uses a dye to color the wrapper leave, "are you FUCKING crazy?" Doing crap like that is how you commit business suicide. Get it? RPs cigars retail on average around $10 each. Some sell for less and some sell for a lot more. You may be buying machine rolled cigars coming out of China but that is your problem, not ours. Semper Fi

My very first cigar was a Rocky patel is definitely in my top 5. I love the passion and care. Highly recommend it. 👍

Absolute perfection and top notch quality! This type of attention to detail is unmatched. Outstanding job!!!

I love RP cigars. My favorite non-Cuban.

I tip my hat off to you Mr. Patel! Great video and very insightful tour!

Big greetings to the Patel familia from a Polish cigar maker. There is no lying in this art. The film is 100% true in all it promises.

This was an absolutely awesome video right there! You, senor Patel, should be so proud of your life's work and humbled to be given the opportunity to share it with all of us. I am a die-hard pipe tobacco man, but after watching this, I am now heading straight over to pipes&cigars to order some of those beautifully handcrafted Rocky Patels. Thank you for your blatantly apparent adherence to nothing short of the most impeccable standards. Loving tobacco as much as I do, I know I would be a fool to not order some of your fine product right now! Good day senor and best of smokes to you.

does somebody salivate when ther roll a cigar? hahaha just me

One of the best cigars you can buy. I love Arturo Fuente, but Rocky Patel is right up there. In fact, his maduro is probably better than the ones by Fuente. "The gods do not subtract from the lives of men, the hours spent in smoking good cigars."

I just ordered me a pair of decades, royale's and vintage 1990's to put in my humidor. Keep up the good work Rocky! Love your sticks

Always loved Rocky Patels! I love them even more now. It’s no wonder his cigars are so amazing, consistent and delicious. He has such passion and perfectionism.

That is crazy this guy has a lounge here in naples fl at the mercato shoppes. Sells them there too

Another little secret in this process is the final color stabilization area - not shown in this video. If anyone wonders how they get the consistent coloration in a box of fine cigars, we have to go to the rectal injection curing room. It is in this room where the cigars are given their final flavor and coloration treatment as they are inserted in the rectums of specially bred and fed sheep. The cigars are left in the sheep rectums for a period of five days where they are infused with specific colors and surface flavoring custom tailored to each box and product line. This consistency is ensured through the breeding and feeding of the receptor sheep. Once this final process is completed, the human ejection professionals will carefully remove the cigars from the sheep rectums using the paper ring method. Very few people understand this is why the cigars have the paper ring - it is used as sort of a toilet paper to protect the hands of the ejection professional. Cigar diameter sizes are actually graded based on the rectal cavity of the receiver sheep - as "grosso, middo, and pequeno"

This was amazing to watch. Really helps you to appreciate what goes into making these.

I love my cigars, this is the best video of cigar making I've seen. Makes my appreciation of making cigars even better. I can't say enough of this great video. Thank you so very much

ur cigars are now available in india..they are really bang for the buck unlike cubans..

22:20 now he got his saliva on one of the wrappers

Anything done with passion like this has to be great.... I only recently discovered Rocky Patel and they’ve quickly became one of my favorites.

A great video, very informative. Making premium cigars is truly a work of art. Making a Rocky Patel is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and care. I never complain about the cost of a premium cigar again.

I. get a creepy feeling that this guy owns those people

23:55 and your employee still smoking a "Dunhill"

I watched this video as I smoked the first of a 100 box Rocky Patel edge Sumatra I'm amazed at passion and the quality control that is put into the smoke and I'm happy and know that the other 99 in this box will taste as good and I will enjoy as much as this amazing cigar as I sit on my porch on a beautiful winter night thank you Rocky you are an inspirational person

Definitivamente es el mejor video en KZfaq. Relacionado a la elaboración de Puros. Mucha pasión en la narración. Gracias la gente de Rocky Patel. Saludos.

Beautifull tabacoo do you know what is more beautifull cancer🙃

"This is where the babies sleep. And after 6 months we pack them for your enjoyment." Dude... wtf?

I have 3 sizes of Decade's in my humidor. I got them on order from cigar stores that will ship to Canada. One is from Atlantic that was in their top 10 selling cigar list and the other two came with the cigar obsession sampler selections I ordered from Atlantic and Smoke Inn web site. I usually order sampler kits that come from different makers because I do not want the same cigar every time. After I receive them I store them in my humidor for at least 7 to 8 weeks before I spark one up. After watching this video I can not wait to light one of them. I also have a few RP royale's

i now have a new appreciation for cigars and cigar making, thank you for the very informative video

I'm so impressed with the quality of craftsmanship.

Rocky has never been one of my favorite cigars, but this vid will make me revisit a couple of theirs to see if I want to include them. Excellent presentation and info!

My favorite cigars... Rocky Patel! And this is why Rocky Patel is my favorite cigars! ❤

Wow! Fantastic video - Thank you. I truly appreciate all the hard work that goes into that wonderful cigar that I am enjoying.

Great production. Really shows the time and effort of so many people needed to make something so easy to enjoy...Will be buying some more Rocky Patels

Great video, awesome cigars. Thank you!

What passion it takes to make these beautifully delicious and gorgeous cigars. Great video. I had no idea.

What a great video. Love the level of detail on the explanations about the parts of the plants etc.
