Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Broadleaf Cigar - Tin of 5

Date Added: Friday 06 February, 2026 by Barry

Great value short smoke, perfect for a walk or being outside during winter, the broardleaf wrapper holds up to the cold exceptionally well too. Lasts a good 25 - 30 minutes. Nice oily wrapper, well packed and even filler. Cut with a single V, draw was light and slightly airy but still pleasantly satisfying, zero burn issues, sharp burn line with no corrections needed on any of the 5, ashed every 3/4 inch or so. Solid medium body with medium/low strength, lots of dense, white smoke. Quite a lot of cedar and leather upfront followed by dark chocolate and coffee, substantial underlying sweetness throughout, really enjoyable; although, I prefer Davidoff The Late Hour Petite Panatella, these are considerably cheaper and arguably better value for money.

The Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Broadleaf has quickly become one of my favourites for a shorter smoke. It lasts me about 25-30 minutes, and every time I light one up it feels like I’ve carved out half an hour of pure peace from the world. The flavour is rich and smooth, with that trademark broadleaf sweetness and depth that makes it stand out from a lot of other cigars in this size. I use a V-cut, and it works perfectly, giving me an easy draw the whole way through. I’ve found that a bit of dry boxing (about 8 hours outside the humidor) really brings out the flavours and keeps the burn cooler. Straight out of my 69% humidor, it tended to run a little hot and even burnt my lips once, so the dry boxing makes a huge difference for me personally. For me, this cigar isn’t just a smoke, it’s a proper little ritual. When I’m standing there with it, the half-hour just feels like heaven. If you’re after a short smoke that still feels like something special, this one’s tough to beat. And a great price too.

A really enjoyable cigar. Burns evenly with a nice amount of smoke. Well constructed, not tight but with a pleasant draw. Lasts about 45 mins but that perhaps just me. I left one with the wrapper undone for a few weeks and found this made it far smoother but still a strong flavour.

I am certainly not a cigar connoisseur and alas I cannot discern individual tastes in a cigar like some people seem to be able to do, but I do know what I like and what I do not like. What I can say without hesitation or reservation is that I definitely do like these cigars in all aspects!

A little aged cigar blended with a 12 year old Honduras wrapper. This format is perfect to travel and fits perfectly in your pocket. David - C.Gars Ltd Cigar Ambassador
