Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 cigar?
Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 is a medium-bodied, box-pressed cigar built around a 12-year-aged Honduran Broadleaf wrapper. Introduced in 2003, it was the first cigar to carry the Rocky Patel name after he rebranded from Indian Tabac. It earned a 92 from Cigar Aficionado and helped put the brand on the map.
What does the Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 taste like?
Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 tastes of cocoa, cedar, and earth, with sweet spice, espresso, leather, and a touch of almond. The aged Broadleaf wrapper gives it a natural sweetness and a smooth, layered finish. It's rich and complex without turning harsh, which is a big reason it's stayed a bestseller for two decades.
How strong is the Rocky Patel Vintage 1990?
Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 is medium-bodied, leaning toward the milder side of medium. The 12-year-aged wrapper has softened over time, trading raw strength for complexity and balance. It builds a little toward the final third, but stays smooth throughout, making it easy to enjoy without a heavy nicotine kick.
What is the blend of the Rocky Patel Vintage 1990?
Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 uses a 12-year-aged Honduran Broadleaf wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder, with a filler of aged Nicaraguan and Dominican ligero. It's box-pressed and rolled at the El Paraiso factory in Danli, Honduras. The long-aged tobacco is what gives the blend its smooth, sweet character.
Why is the Vintage 1990 wrapper called both Honduran and Connecticut Broadleaf?
The Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 wrapper is a Connecticut Broadleaf varietal, but it's grown in Honduras rather than the United States, which is why you'll see it called both Honduran Broadleaf and Connecticut Broadleaf. Rocky Patel ages it 12 years before rolling, deepening its color to a dark Maduro and softening its strength.
What rating and awards did the Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 win?
Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 earned a 92 rating from Cigar Aficionado and landed on its Top 25 Cigars of the Year list twice, in 2004 and 2006. It was also named Best of the Best by the Robb Report. As the first cigar to wear the Rocky Patel name, it remains one of his best-selling classics.

What is the difference between the Vintage 1990 and Vintage 1992?
