Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Robusto Cigar – Box of 20

The Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Robusto features a Honduran Broadleaf wrapper aged for 12 years, paired with a blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran filler tobaccos. The aging process enhances the wrapper’s complexity while reducing its initial strength, resulting in a medium-bodied profile. Measuring 5 1/2 x 50, this cigar is packaged in boxes of 20 and holds a 92/100 rating for its balanced construction and consistent performance.

Blend & Construction

The cigar’s Honduran Broadleaf wrapper exhibits an oily sheen, developed through extended aging. The binder and filler combine Nicaraguan and Honduran tobaccos, contributing to a draw described as smooth and even. Combustion remains consistent, with ash holding firmly throughout the smoking experience.

Flavor Profile & Experience

Initial notes of cedar and earth transition into sweeter tones of caramel and cream during the first third. Mid-smoke introduces darker flavors of coffee beans and bittersweet cocoa, accompanied by a subtle spice from the Honduran tobacco. The final third maintains these elements without overpowering the palate, concluding with a nutty finish.
