In an industry built on name recognition and reputation, Rocky Patel's passion has brought his brand to heights unseen by most boutique cigar manufacturers. His hard work and long hours have been paying off in big ways. A survivor of the cigar boom, Patel has outlasted his competition with unrivaled persistence on his quest for perfection. Originally an entertainment lawyer in Los Angeles, Mr. Patel was introduced to cigars on the back lots of Hollywood studios. Fine cigars quickly became a passion for him, and he became one the original founding members of the Grand Havana Club. Currently producing 20,000,000 cigars annually Patel elucidates, "Cigar manufacturing is an art form that has transcended over generations." Three hundred different hands touch the tobacco from the time a seedling is planted in the ground, to the time a cigar is placed in a box for final shipment.
Each Rocky Patel Vintage Connecticut 1999 cigar has a perfectly-balanced blend of 7 year old Dominican & Nicaraguan long filler tobaccos and is encloses with a mild, 1999-vintage Connecticut wrapper. A sensationally smooth, toasty, medium-bodied cigar that hits all flavor profiles. A beautiful cigar for any aficionado!
