Rocky Patel Vintage Series 1999 Petite Corona

In keeping with the motto "only the best is good enough", this series is made using the aged Connecticut Shade wrapper leaf, which is over 10 years old. This makes it the oldest and at the same time the most precious that the market has to offer. The wrapper leaf gives the cigar an incredibly fine aroma, dominated by mild earthy and woody roasted flavours. It is accompanied by a fine and mild creaminess

About Rocky Patel

Rocky's first brand bearing his name, Rocky Patel Vintage cigars, became his flagship and comprises five vintage series: 1990, 1992, 1999, 2003 and 2006. Since the company's realignment began in 2003, Rocky has launched numerous best-selling brands, including The Edge, Decade, Fifteenth Anniversary, Royale, Java, Twentieth Anniversary and Sun Grown Maduro - his highest-rated cigar by Cigar Aficionado magazine, which received 95 points and was the No. 2 cigar of 2016. Although Rocky Patel is honoured and humbled by this award, he is far from satisfied. He will never rest on his laurels, because there is still more perfection to achieve
