The guests of honor will be Rocky Patel and his younger brother, Nish, who is also a well-known cigar-maker in his own right. Patel, whose Vintage 1990 and 1992 cigars were smashing successes, in the early 2000's, was originally an entertainment attorney in California, according to his bio at rockypatel.com, whose passion for cigars grew as he encountered them among his actor clients. After establishing Indian Tabac in the 1990's, he eventually created his namesake company that is one of the most widely recognized cigar producers in the world.
