Bestowed with an 88 rating from Cigar Aficionado in both 2015 and 2019, the Honduran-made Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Connecticut in the Toro vitola produces an even draw and burn. Dominican and Nicaraguan ligero fillers sealed by a Nicaraguan binder and surrounded by a seven-year-plus-aged Connecticut shade-grown wrapper (the oldest Connecticut wrapper in the marketplace) output flavors of creamy vanilla, buttered toast and herbs — notably cinnamon. This is a refined, mild, smooth-smoking cigar perfect for an hour and a half smoke.
