Vintage 1990 is a blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan Ligero draped in a tantalizing natural Broadleaf wrapper from Honduras. It's medium-bodied and box-pressed with a really enjoyable, complex smooth-rich flavor. To accompany its spot within the world's Top 50 Cigars, Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 received a '92' rating!
