Convention Time for Rocky Patel |

|
Although the Democratic Party’s elected representatives in Congress are trying hard to regulate and tax the  tobacco industry out of existence, there will be plenty of the party faithful who will be enjoying Rocky Patel cigars at one of the bigger parties being put on during the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado.
The Distilled Spirits Council of the United States will be throwing an eagerly-awaited bash on Monday, August 25, with themed cocktails to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the end of Prohibition in 1933. The evening program includes a smoking lounge, for which Rocky Patel will be supplying 800 of his Decade brand cigars. It’s hard to know why the Wall Street Journal noted that the cigars for the event "will be lower-grade than in previous years."

Patel isn’t playing favorites, however. The Distilled Spirits Council will be back in action on Monday, September 1 (Labor Day) with a party in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota during the Republic National Convention. This time, attendees will be able to enjoy one or more of the 800 ITC 10th Anniversary cigars that will be offered.
No word yet on whether either party has contacted Patel to make a victory cigar in November.
