The Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Petit Corona is a beautifully crafted cigar that embodies the smooth, rich complexity of the Vintage 1990 series. This Petit Corona measures 4 ½ inches in length with a 44-ring gauge, making it an excellent choice for those who want a refined and flavorful smoking experience in a shorter format. Despite its compact size, this cigar delivers a well-balanced and satisfying profile, thanks to its meticulously aged tobaccos.
One of the standout features of this cigar is its luxurious 12-year-aged Honduran Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, which gives it a rich, dark brown appearance with an oily sheen. This well-aged wrapper imparts a natural sweetness and depth that perfectly complements the blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican long-fillers beneath it. The carefully aged Nicaraguan binder enhances the overall balance, ensuring a smooth and flavorful experience from start to finish.
Upon lighting, the Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Petit Corona immediately delivers notes of cocoa, espresso, and earth, setting the stage for a rich and elegant smoking session. As the cigar progresses, flavors of cedar, leather, and toasted nuts emerge, adding layers of complexity. A subtle sweetness of caramel and dried fruit develops in the second half, balancing the natural spice and earthiness. The retrohale enhances the experience with hints of black pepper and dark chocolate, leaving a long, velvety finish.
