Rocky Patel Vintage 1990

I smoked this last night at the weekly poker game (do you see a trend starting here??) on the recommendation of a friend.

Broadleaf, 12 year old wrapper, and blended with 7 year old Nicaraguan and Dominican filler, measuring 6.25×52.

I thought this cigar started a bit bitter with very little real flavor.  However, after only a very short but, the flavor picked up into a nutty, earthy taste with plenty of smoke and a perfect draw.  The flavor remained constant all the way down to the nub.  This was a fantastic cigar and I would really like to smoke one again, I rate it at a solid A.

Rocky Patel: The Edge, Missile Maduro

December 17th, 2007 at 8:17 pm by admin (Rocky Patel)

GREAT smoke.  The Missile measures 5×48 and is a dark wrapper and filler.  It lit and burned evenly.  The beginning was a tad heavy and dark, but that quickly went away and left a great, woodsy, maduro taste.  The cigar never got hot and burned almost perfectly even down to the very nub.  I’m definitely going to get another one of these cigars,  I am quite impressed.  Rate is A-.
