Don't let the dark wrapper fool you, the Vintage 1990 is a medium-bodied cigar with a nutty, caramel essence. Rocky Patel has access to some well-aged tobaccos, and he always dips into his stores to blend his popular cigars. The Vintage 1990 features a 12-year-old Honduran broadleaf wrapper that has smoothed out over the years due to the extended aging, but has maintained its great flavors and complexity. Along with this well-aged wrapper, the Vintage 1990 features a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers.

Perhaps one of Rocky's best-known cigars, the Vintage 1990 has become a classic in the cigar world, having twice been included on Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 Cigar of the Year list.
