Rocky Patel Vintage 1990

The caramel sweetness hits right from the first draw, and the smoothness is exactly what I was hoping for after a long dinner. It burned evenly all the way down without needing a relight.

That 12-year-old wrapper gives it a smoothness I wasn’t expecting for a medium-bodied smoke, and the caramel sweetness lingers nicely on the finish. Perfect with my morning coffee.

The nutty, caramel notes come through beautifully from the first draw, and that 12-year-old Honduran Broadleaf wrapper is noticeably smooth. It stayed perfectly even down to the last inch, never getting harsh or hot. Exactly the kind of relaxed, medium-bodied smoke I was hoping for.
