The first two cigars in Rocky’s now-famous “Vintage” series were on the fuller-bodied end of the spectrum. So naturally, for the third release, RP went for a Connecticut. Featuring a stunning 7-year-aged wrapper and 8-year-aged fillers, the Vintage 99 Connecticut was met with immediate success. Today, it continues to be one of the best mellow cigars you can find.

Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Connecticut is crafted in Honduras. Underneath the silky-smooth Connecticut wrapper leaf, you’ll find a balanced mix of Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. Toasting the foot you’ll be greeted with a mellow to medium-bodied morsel that’s creamy and smooth. Hints of earth and cedar join the fray as the cigar burns, keeping Vintage 1999 delicious down to the nub. If you’re looking for a great cigar to kick off your morning, Vintage 99 Connecticut is a great choice.
