Introducing Rocky Patel Royal Vintage: Rocky Patel’s Vintage series of cigars are highly celebrated, consistently earning outstanding ratings that peak at 93 points. The Rocky Patel Vintage line has firmly established itself as one of the most notable and memorable cigar blends ever created.

The cigar is handcrafted with dark, oily, and exceptionally well-aged Ecuadorian Sumatra wrappers. This thick yet silky leaf features a captivating reddish-brown hue. Inside, a meticulously blended mixture of long-leaf tobaccos from Nicaragua and Honduras enhances the smoking experience. The profile is mellow yet rich with elegant flavors. Medium to full in body, the Rocky Patel Royal Vintage delivers delightful notes of espresso, earth, and spices, making it a highly enjoyable cigar.

The cigar is slightly spongy to feel. The Wrapper has a few imperfections but nothing that would impact the smoke. The draw is loose.
The 1st third starts with a spice kick full of chilli, cayenne and black pepper, this disappears after 10 minutes and leaves behind a bread and biscuit note. The Burn is a little wonky but more to do with the box press shape than a construction issue.
The 2nd third introduces a toffee and caramel note with the black pepper resurfacing. Once the ash was tapped off I had to touch up as the cigar started canoeing. The strength picks up toward the band and an earthy note appears.
The flavours have disappeared in the final third and I’m left with straight tobacco.
