The Rocky Patel 1999 Vintage Connecticut is an iconic creation featuring the oldest authentic Connecticut Shade wrapper available on the market. Although many enthusiasts often dismiss mild cigars arguing that «it’s easy to make a light cigar,» Rocky Patel elevates the tobacco craft by endowing the Vintage ’99 with a distinctive character, a richness of flavors, and remarkable complexity, while maintaining a smooth and balanced profile on the palate.

Building on the success achieved with his Vintage ’90 and ’92 lines, Rocky has continued to exceed expectations with the exceptional Vintage 1999 series. Using a selection of the finest tobaccos from the Dominican Republic and Central America, the Rocky Patel 1999 Vintage is designed to please both beginners and discerning connoisseurs alike.

With a Connecticut wrapper leaf aged for 7 years, the Vintage ’99 combines Dominican and Nicaraguan long fillers that have also been cured and matured for 7 years. The result is an exceptionally creamy smoke, with notes of spice and wood, pairing perfectly with a cup of coffee—an ideal way to start or end the day.
