Double Broadleaf
Rocky Patel DBS (Double Broadleaf Selection)
DBS (Double Broadleaf Selection) wears a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over Nicaraguan and Pennsylvania broadleaf binders with Honduran and Nicaraguan broadleaf fillers. The line reads medium‑full with dense cocoa/coffee flavors, cedar, earth and black pepper in a velvety smoke and ships in Robusto, Toro and Sixty sizes.

The DBS doubles down on broadleaf—two broadleaf binders paired with broadleaf fillers beneath a Mexican San Andrés wrapper—to create a thick, velvety Maduro that favors cocoa and coffee. That heavy‑leaf construction gives a dense mouthfeel and chocolate‑leaning sweetness rather than candy‑sweet notes; cedar and earth underlie the core while black pepper sharpens the finish. Careful curing and fermentation are credited for keeping combustion clean despite the heavy leaves, and the line runs medium‑full in intensity. If you like weighty, chocolate‑forward Maduros with a leathery backbone and firm pepper, DBS is a clear, no‑apology statement.
