Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Connecticut

Construction: perfect 10/10
Burn: perfect
Flavor: good
Strength: mild to medium

This is just a beautiful cigar. I hate to cut it.

When I lit this up I thought wow, this is just like the Ashton Heritage. I actually said it out loud. It had a nutty flavor that I love. At first similar to the Montecristo and Ashton Heritage, But it did not develop any sweetness or creaminess like the Montecristo, and a pepper developed that overpowered the nuttiness.

It did not have the array of flavors I'm used to in a Patel but I enjoyed this and it's not a bad stick.

Here are some pre-light pics. I took some pictures of the burn on my cell phone and it is telling me my service is unavailable right now. I'll post them later if it comes back up.

I like the 99s, but believe it or not I like the plain old RP Connecticut way more. Thanks for the review.

I have grown very fond of the little perfecto in this line. A GREAT early morning smoke with coffee. My favorite 30-40 minute smoke.
