Rocky Patel Vintage 1999

That Connecticut shade wrapper is incredibly smooth, and the smoke stayed silky right down to the nub. Perfect for a relaxing afternoon.

The Connecticut wrapper burns so evenly, it's a pleasure to watch. Draw is smooth, and the silky smoke really lives up to the description. Only wish it had a bit more complexity as it progressed, but still a fine cigar.

I’m still getting used to the mild body—it’s a lot smoother than my usual smoke—but that silky Connecticut wrapper makes for an incredibly easy draw. Only gave it 4 stars because I wish the smoke had a bit more complexity to keep things interesting, though it’s perfect for a relaxed afternoon.
