COVID-19 Day 509
 Aged Tobacco, Connecticut 99, Rocky Patel Cigars, Toro, Vintage 1999 Connecticut This is a mild and a very smooth cigar… delivering creamy buttered toast and nut tobacco flavors with a black pepper spice on the retrohale that let’s me know it’s there.

At the halfway point the buttery-smooth smoke still continues with familiar tobacco flavors in addition to leather flavors joining the party. The nutty notes are starting to get warmed up tasting like an almond paste (Mascarpone). The retrohale has really tamed down at this point.

At the final third this Vintage 1999 Connecticut by Rocky Patel has evolved into a tasty smoking experience… this has earned a place in the Walking-Cigar Rotation.
