Indian Tabac 10th Ann.

The Indian Tabac 10th Anniversary was released to mark a decade of Rocky Patel's cigar business, originally founded as Indian Tabac Cigar Co. in 1995. Rather than continuing the Cameroon-wrapped Honduran production that defined most of the Indian Tabac catalog, the 10th Anniversary stepped in a new direction as an all-Nicaraguan puro, with Nicaraguan wrapper, binder, and filler produced in Nicaragua. Four vitolas are available, including a lonsdale and two torpedo-profile sizes, priced from $6.25 to $7.50. The Nicaraguan puro construction represented a departure from the brand's Honduran roots and signaled Rocky's growing interest in Nicaraguan tobacco that would come to define much of his premium lineup in subsequent years.
