About Rocky Patel Vintage 1999
Unlike the earlier Vintage releases, the 1999 is round rather than box-pressed: Cigar Aficionado reported in 2006 that Patel kept it round because the thin shade wrapper is fragile. Patel described the new cigar to the magazine as elegant and mild. It sits beside the Vintage 1990 and Vintage 1992 in our humidor.
