There are few cigar-makers today that rival the popularity of Rocky Patel: from his expansive portfolio, work with Cigar Rights of America to lobby on behalf of the industry, and his chain of cigar bars, he's a one-man tour de force. Despite a number of '90'+ ratings from Cigar Aficionado, however, there is one set of blends that stand-out, and that's his Vintage Series. The Vintage '99 Connecticut is one that merits celebration, so enjoy 10-packs of the Robusto (5.5"x50) for less than $5 per cigar through Sept. 22nd!
Since their inception, the Vintage 1999 Series has become a fixture in humidors all across the country. The secret to Rocky's success are the years spent balancing each amount of each leaf per blend, resulting in the perfect premium. As the latest installment of the famous Vintage series, the Vintage 1999 Connecticut combines a seven-year-aged Connecticut Shade wrapper with 5-year-old long-fillers and binder for a creamy, medium-bodied cigar. Providing a rare look into the lighter side of Rocky, expect a buttery texture highlighted by vanilla bean, toast, and nuts, before leading into a finish punctuated by faint citrus and herbal qualities.
