The Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Petit Belicoso is an exceptional medium-bodied cigar that showcases the elegance and complexity of the Vintage 1990 line. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this Petit Belicoso measures 4 ½ inches in length with a 52-ring gauge, making it a compact yet richly flavored smoke. This cigar is renowned for its smooth, well-aged tobaccos that deliver a refined and balanced smoking experience.
One of the defining features of the Vintage 1990 Petit Belicoso is its stunning 12-year-aged Honduran Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, which boasts a deep, dark brown color with an oily sheen. This aged wrapper enhances the cigar’s smoothness while adding a subtle sweetness to the profile. Beneath the wrapper lies a Nicaraguan and Dominican long-filler blend, bound by a carefully aged Nicaraguan binder, all of which contribute to a sophisticated and complex flavor profile.
Upon lighting, the Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Petit Belicoso introduces the palate to rich notes of earth, cedar, and cocoa, creating a smooth yet flavorful start. As the cigar progresses, nuances of espresso, leather, and toasted nuts develop, offering a deep and satisfying complexity. Midway through, a touch of sweet caramel and dried fruit emerges, balancing the earthy and spicy elements. The retrohale delivers a refined combination of black pepper and dark chocolate, adding to the cigar’s luxurious character.
