Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Connecticut Sixty

The Rocky Patel Vintage series is a unique line in the vast portfolio of Rocky Patel cigars.  Also, their names are a little misleading. Take for example this Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Connecticut.  Its name suggests that the tobaccos are from 1999, but that’s not quite true.  When this line was introduced, it did feature 7 year aged tobaccos from a ‘99 crop, but as with most cigars the blend has been modified throughout its life.  Featuring a core of Dominican and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos along with a Honduran binder, this delightful cigar still shines bright with a 7 year old, genuine USA-grown Connecticut wrapper.  This mild-medium cigar features tasting notes of cream, earth, and smoked woods along with hints of pepper, baking spices, and citrus. The Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Connecticut is a fantastic way to start the day!   

Rocky Patel has the distinction of being one of the few cigar brands to survive the “cigar boom” of the 1990s. Not only did he survive, he has thrived and brought his brands to be some of the best selling cigars in the industry. If you’ve been around the cigar world for a while, there is little doubt that you have smoked one of his cigars at some point. He built his brand by following his passion and putting in the effort to build a following. He often logs more than 300 days on the road every year between visiting factories and spending quality time in cigar stores throughout the world. Rocky strives to win over new customers to his brands by interacting directly with them and sharing his enthusiasm for premium cigars and his range of premium cigars. He’s been doing it this way for over 25 years! One thing is for sure, Rocky Patel isn’t one to rest on his laurels. He is constantly learning and innovating. Working with the finest tobacco growers and cigar blenders, Rocky regularly introduces 3-5 new blends every year. Each one is unique and he’s happy to spend the time to let you know why each one is special.
