Cigar: Rocky Patel Vintage 1990
Size: 5.5 x 50
Wrapper: Maduro Broadleaf
Rating: 5
It hurts me to even type this, but this cigar was bad. I have been smoking Rocky Patel Vintage 1992 for the last 5 years and I have never had a bad one. This was my first Vintage 1990 and it did not go well. At first light I was wondering if I had the right cigar. After some time the taste began to improve but it was overshadowed by horrible burn. The burn kept running on me (burning down especially uneven in spots) and going out. I have a rule that I will only re-light a cigar one time, because I find that constantly lighting it ruins the taste. This cigar went out twice and I finally gave up.
I will say this, I enjoy Rocky Patel cigars too much to give up on this cigar after one. I got this in a sampler pack and I still have one more left. I will let it marinate in my humidor and give it a try in a couple months.

That is VERY suprising. It was painful to read that. I couldn't agree more about giving it another chance. Rocky has been very good to me over the years. I actually have a tough time distinguishing the 90 from the 92. If I smoke them in close sucession then I can tell that the 90 has a tad stronger flavor. I'm curious to read how round 2 goes with the 90.
