Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Connecticut Review

[SIZE=3]Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Connecticut[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Construction: perfect 10/10[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Burn: perfect[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Flavor: good[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Strength: mild to medium[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]This is just a beautiful cigar. I hate to cut it.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]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.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]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.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]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.[/SIZE]

Nice post. Never had one of these, but can't go wrong with an RP. THis review makes me want to try one. Love that you have this stick resting on Homer's Illiad and Odyssey.

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.
