Rocky Patel Cigars and Nicotine

So I was reading a nice article in the El Paso Times… (don’t ask how I find this stuff) about the return of cigars to the mainstream in the city. Shops are popping up and business is booming.
A nice article in these times where the news is often about legislation this and that.
One part of the article got my attention in particular though.
The shop owner they were interviewing said:
“There are no additives; it is all natural tobacco. One company, Rocky Patel, actually goes through the trouble of trying to get the nicotine out of the cigars.”
Wow!
Is that true?
I’ve never heard that.
It’s kind of an interesting topic - worth some follow up research if it’s true.
Anybody ever hear this before?
Can you verify it at all?

It sounds like a misquote to me. Or maybe the quoted guy meant that Rocky Patel that goes to great lengths to naturally get the most out of his tobacco (including nicotine).
Just to be on the safe side, I scanned the official rocky patel website looking for info on nicotine removal. I didn’t see any.
