The Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Connecticut Minis bring big flavor in a compact 4¼" x 32 parejo format. Packaged in boxes of 100 mini cigars priced at $184.50, these Nicaraguan puros wrapped in Ecuadorian Connecticut shade leaf are rolled at Rocky's El Paraiso factory for consistent mild-strength smoking sessions under 30 minutes.
The initial puff delivers smooth creaminess with toasted almond notes, backed by faint white pepper spice. Connecticut wrapper keeps the smoke velvety while Nicaraguan fillers add subtle woodiness.
Oatmeal cookies and vanilla bean emerge through the medium-bodied core. Burning evenly despite the small format, it maintains cool smoke with honeyed undertones.
Mineral earthiness develops alongside cinnamon powder in the last inch. While nicotine stays manageable, the tight draw requires occasional relights in cooler climates.
Hand-rolled at Rocky Patel's El Paraiso facility in Honduras since 2017, these minis showcase the brand's quality control with aged tobaccos. The modern factory combines Estelí-grown Nicaraguan fillers with Ecuadorian wrapper cultivation for this balanced blend.
