Super Ligero is not for the faint of heart.

Aimed towards full-bodied fanatics, Rocky Patel's Super Ligero promises to be as bold as its name. Judging by his previous accomplishments such as the highly acclaimed Decade and Edge Corojo, excitement for the Super Ligero is certainly warranted. This meaty selection combines high primings with expert fermentation resulting in a purely delicious blend. Hailing from Plascencia's El Paraiso factory located in the rich growing region of Danli, Honduras, Super Ligero has all the ingredients to be a show-stopper. A unique Honduran St. Augustine Habano wrapper is showcased here, a hybrid seed Rocky has been meticulously developing for years. Nestled inside is a Nicaraguan Habano binder hugging an onslaught of Nicaraguan and Costa Rican triple ligero long-fillers. There is nothing subtle about the flavor profile, with wood and leather being apparent right off the bat. Noticeable white pepper and cinnamon carry you through the second third, with a long toasty finish capping off the experience—a perfect complement to a good glass of scotch or a pint of porter.
