Robusto Rocky Patel has long been a favorite brand of mine and his vintage series cigars are my favorites of his. The 1990 has a beautiful construction and equally beautiful is the experience. It boasts a smooth yet full draw wonderful spice notes and thick and tasty smoke. I’ll gladly buy these as long as I’m smoking! 5 5 1
Robusto I keep coming back for this one. Something about the wrapper that just stands out to me 4 5 1
Robusto Perfect draw hints of coffee chocalate cream. Nice medium bodied cigar rocky patel never lets you down. 4 5 1
Robusto Top notch And absolutely impeccable cigar me and my buddies enjoyed this cigar about a month ago on a trip to Vegas! If Vegas one good enough the cigars absolutely amazing. Genuinely a cigar I could smoke every day 4 5 1
Robusto Really enjoy this smoke. The flavor in these from the vintage tobacco is spectacular. A really well done smoke with no burn or draw issues. Flawless construction and a rock steady consistency. 5 5 1
Robusto Vintage 1990 is what you expect from RP Full body and superior aging with total satisfaction Some of the new bargain RPs do not measure up 5 5 1
Robusto This and the Royale are my fave two Rockys. Smooth flavorful earthy doesn't have the draw and burn problems that other Rockys can have. I don't understand the bad reviews except that maybe people aren't giving them enough time. RPs are old school blends and need some humi time to taste their best. And dry boxing helps the burn. Don't blame the cigar. 4 5 1
Robusto Amazing cigar with a unique taste! Cannot say enough about the Vintage '90. Perfect draw perfect construction perfect burn & great great taste with hints of leather wood slight nuttiness & a very slight pepper on the finish. That being said to me it tastes like no other. Hard to explain. 5 out of 5 stars! A MUST try! 5 5 1
Robusto These are my go-to cigars for any occasion. 5 5 1

Robusto One of the best cigars I have ever smoked. Great flavor complex taste even burn. I buy them all of the time 4 5 1
Robusto This is one of the first cigars I bought that impressed me. Bought a box and had one complete dud out of it and one that just was bland. Constancy isn't great but the good ones are great 4 5 1
Robusto The vintage 1990 didn't sit well with my palate but overall it was constructed well. The flavors were heavy with earth and leather and I did need to do a couple minor touch ups on this one. 3 5 1
Robusto The rp vintage 1990 was ok not bad but one i had has has alot of rest and i think make a huge diff 3 5 1
Robusto Perfect uneven burn deep taste of tar which occur by tunneling nice weak wrapper which goes break in the 1/2 of cigar. This is the perfect cigar who has too much money and don't know where to use it. 1 5 1
Robusto Everything about this stick is perfect i love it everytime i have it little pricey but worth it espically if you can get a deal on them 5 5 1
Robusto There's so many different choices from Rocky Patel but the Vintage 199 happens to be one of my favorite from them. Nice med to full flavor cigar with a little spice kick to it. 4 5 1
Robusto Rocky does it again! This vintage brand is probably my favorite cigar at the moment. It has a bold and complex flavor and each cigar I've ever had in this brand has been consistently good. 4 5 1
Robusto Another big time flop by Rocky Patel. I don't get why all of the cigars these guys make have to be so salty it really is not pleasing to the palet. 1 5 1
Robusto This is one of the best cigars in my humidor..I've been smoking these for a long time..very well aged..great construction and so consistent..cream and spice..doesn't get any better... 5 5 1
Robusto I love Rocky Patel cigars but this is just a wonderful cigar. Great mild flavor from the tip to the stub. It's a go to smoke for me and I'll buy more. Not over powering but the taste is fantastic creamy and earthy with great smoke. Burns great just like all RP cigars I've had in the past. This is one of my favorites. 5 5 1
Robusto Hard to complain about this one just smoked one this morning excellent smooth and tastes incredible I will buy again it is a must have for my collection 5 5 1
Robusto The vintage 1990 was not in my flavor preference but this was a well constructed cigar with a perfect draw and the the burn line was razor sharp. I would still recomend this to anybody getting into heavier blends though. 4 5 1
Robusto Yet another excellent cigar from Rocky Patel. JR ran a special a while back and I got a few 10 packs of these cheap. I wish I'd bought more! 5 5 1
Robusto These are a tier up from the regular edge series. Nice medium to full bodied flavors that contain nice creamy coffee flavors 5 5 1
Robusto This is a medium-full bodied cigar. Flavor notes: nutty earth cedar hint of sweetness that is not overpowering. Great even burn. Billows puffy white smoke. Very smooth 4 5 1
Robusto I agree with a few of the other posters -- one of RP's best sticks with rock solid consistency RP is known for. I keep coming back to this stick time and again. 4 5 1
Robusto As with most Rocky Patel cigars this is a well-constructed stick. Definitely a mainstay in my humidor. 5 5 1
Robusto This rocky patel only gets four stars from me. It's a great cigar don't get me wrong but it didn't appeal to me as much as an edge or a decade. 4 5 1
Robusto The vintage 1990 robusto is not as good as the decade but is still one fine cigar great burn wonderful flavors well balanced and smooth 4 5 1
Robusto Excellent smoke consista to from stick to stick. A great every day smoke if you can pick them up at a decent price. 5 5 1
Robusto what a great cigar great taste and oh so smooth from start to finish. I think this is Rocky's best cigar 5 5 1
Robusto What a great smoke they are perfect from start to finish. Me thinks this is Rocky's best smoke. CA rates it at 92 but it is a 96 in my book! 5 5 1
Robusto Very nice chocolate appearence. Draw was light and easy. After lighting it started off very smooth with soft ceder earthy and slight caramel flavors. I didn't get any harsh or ashy taste. The aroma was very pleasent and slightly sweet. The second third developed a bit more body and complexity but stayed smooth. There was a touch of spice and maybe some cinnamon. Overall I would try this one again. 4 5 1
Robusto smooth good flavor unchanged over the years 5 5 1
Robusto Quality cigar. Give it a go. 5 5 1
Robusto I got these on auction for a steal compared to the msrp. They’re a good smoke, but it’s not the greatest thing of all time by any means. For what it is, it’s perfect. The main thing I noticed was the perfect even burn from foot to nub. Ashed 3 times. The flavor of this reminded me a little bit of Le Bijou, but not as strong. It had a delicious leather/molasses taste, with a building pepper taste as you get to the nub. You can smell the aged tobacco as soon as you open the wrapper. It was a pretty flawless construction. I think the size and length are perfect. Like I said, really good smoke, but it didn’t floor me like some premium smokes I’ve had, so for the price this is an excellent compromise to something high end. I would say slightly overpriced, but RP always delivers so you know it’s going to be good. 4 5 1
Robusto I think thats cigar for special occasion. The label is Very nice. Construction and consistency are Good. 4 5 1
Robusto A must buy for noobies and veterans the taste is great. Even rookies could pick the fine leather taste and nutty. Smoke 4 5 1
Robusto One of my most memorable cigars. This one is good quality by Rocky Patel. The whole cigar tasted like sweetened leather with the perfect amount of spice 5 5 1
Robusto Great cigar slow and Even burn. Great price and sold in 5 10 packs and boxes. 5 5 1
Robusto I bought 20 of these. Been my favorite of mine since their introduction. What I got from jr..winning on an auction where terrible. Had to keep lighting it. Burned so uneven. I have been trying to dry them out. Somwhat better. But still. Hopefully this is only a bad batch. But it made me very worried and won't be buying these anytime soon. 1 5 1
Robusto The fact that there is 26 year old tobacco in this cigar is amazing to me. smooth flavorful perfect construction and a real treat. 5 5 1
Robusto This cigar is awesome and one of the good flavored ones that will def leave you wanting more 4 5 1
Robusto Great cigar. What else would you expect from the name Rocky Patel? I enjoyed this beauty while out on the boat. Perfect setting for the perfect cigar. 4 5 1
Robusto This wss a great smoke. It had a very peppery beginning but smoothed out considerably after an inch. I founnd notes of lemon zest and caramel. 5 5 1
Robusto This is one of my favorite cigars. Doesn't take too long to smoke and has a consistently awesome flavor the whole smoke. Worth getting every time. 5 5 1
Robusto Always a good buy. Consistent draw and medium - robust flavor 4 5 1
Robusto Very good cigar. Pleasant flavor. 5 5 1
Robusto If you are looking for an incredible mellow to medium cigar, this is it! So perfectly constructed, even burning and flavorful... 4 5 1
Robusto Construction was great. Burn was a little wonky, but corrected itself. My first time to try the robust and I didn't think it was near as tasty as the Toro. Shipping and packaging was spot on. Would order the Toro again, but probably not the robust. 4 5 1
Robusto Got great deal on the 5-packs so grabbed three of them. First off, the shipping was freaky fast, like Jimmy John's did the delivery, and that was with the "Best Way" option. Now, the cigar. Right out of the package, smooth, even burn, great taste and smell and it was even better exhaling through the nose. All the flavors intensified 100 fold! Even burning all the way to the nub without getting hot, great consistency for a box pressed. This is an amazingly built cigar and I had no filler tobacco in my mouth with using my v-cutter. I can't imagine what they are going to be like after sitting in my humidor for a bit.... not going to be a daily cigar. 5 5 1
Robusto Appealing wrapper, with nice draw. Doesn't take long to smoke. Consistent flavor the whole smoke... earthy with notes of chocolate throughout. 5 5 1
Robusto The draw and taste were both great. But the light would not stay. It kept going out no matter what. I felt rushed smoking it and got tired of lighting it. 3 5 1
Robusto Just found these recently, This has become one of my all time favorites. So smooth, easy steady draw. Flavors that make me want to smoke all night. 5 5 1
Robusto Love the taste and perfect burn. 5 5 1
Robusto Just found out about these recently. This is one I must have in my humidor at all times. The draw is easy, the flavors are complex and full, it will make you want to chew the smoke. Rocky Patel has done the industry a truly magnificent favor. I can't imagine a better cigar. 5 5 1
Robusto Nice draw and mellow smoke 4 5 1
Robusto I've always loved Rocky Patels, but never had a 1990 until a couple months ago. It's in my top 5 favorite now. Amazing flavor & complexity. I always look forward to smoking these box pressed beauties. 5 5 1
Robusto These are Great premium square box Pressed cigars from Rocky Patel. These beautifully constructed cigars has a nice oily maduro wrapper that stayed intact all the way to a little nub. Excellent draw with a nice complex but mellow flavor. I won a five pack of these cigars for $19.99 on the Jr auction site. Verses Jrs regular price of $44.75. So I would absolutely buy them again for $19.99, but Never for $44.75 or $8.95 a stick. These are fantastic cigars, but they are not AF Hemingway's or a Padron. Absolutely a premium cigar though and definitely humidor worthy. 4 5 1
Robusto Another home run from the Rocky team. I sheepishly admit I didn't expect much. JR gave a 10 box (nice) bonus when you buy a box of San Andreas and of course I looked squarely in the mouth of the gift horse. But I was never expecting this level of gift! I have always leaned towards multi-country blends and this one tops them all. The blending of this wrapper with this binder and filler with this fantastic aging give rewards that satisfies and can change a bad day into a distant memory. Thank you Rock and JR for a beautiful, rich, smooth, complex, tongue-dancing perfect cigar. 5 5 1
Robusto Great taste and complexity, bought. 5 pack. I will be purchasing a full box. Will be in my daily rotation 5 5 1
Robusto Decent construction. Good burn. A bit harsh. 3 5 1
Robusto These burn a little off...but finish nicely.Quality stick.(In the interest of full disclosure...am not a Rocky Patel cigar fan.) 4 5 1
Robusto My favorite Rocky by far but I would not say Mellow at all . More Medium/Full which is what this stick should taste like . A+ 5 5 1
Robusto Full flavor slightly hot past mid point 4 5 1
Robusto Full strength middle to the finish 4 5 1
Robusto All good a bit pricy though 4 5 1
Robusto good cigar - flavor was good - can hold it's own in the wind on the golf course - did get some canoeing. nice smoke with a bourbon doesn't get over powered by the whiskey 4 5 1
Robusto The RP Vintage 1990 Robusto is as consistent a good solid Sumatra wrapped smoke, with wonderful flavor & richness. From first puff to last, the experience of deep sweet, yet mellow Sumatra Wrappers makes this cigar a great value for a fine cigar. 4 5 1
Robusto Great construction, burn and taste. Was one of my first cigars. Will have more. 5 5 1
Robusto This is a smooth and subtle cigar, with hints of fruity sweetness. It's so smooth that its potency is not obvious until your head is spinning. Gorgeous to look at, with a glossy and bumpy dark reddish-brown wrapper. Construction is perfect, burn is perfect. If you like a subtle and sophisticated cigar, and can stand the potency, you may like this one. 4 5 1
Robusto An excellent cigar, with nicely aged tobacco. Admittedly, at the msrp you could find better options. But on sale these are great. No way are they mellow. Medium strength at least. Construction and draw are first rate. Burn is good, although I had some canoeing. The maduro wrapper looks and tastes great, giving just the right touch of sweetness to the flavors, which are subtle. The cigar is smooth. Some have noted harshness. This is probably due to insufficient time in the humidor. These need to sit a bit. 5 5 1
Robusto A decent stick as far as flavor goes however construction was lacking, out of the five pack two began to unravel before half way through and a third had the entire outer wrapper come off making it unable to smoke, had to toss a nearly whole cigar, based on the other reviews and the other two in the pack I'm guessing I just got a bad batch 3 5 1
Robusto I first had it back in the mid to end 2000s and I haven't smoked another one again until now. It's a lot better than my memory had recalled. I like its square shape, the box-pressed cigars around this ring size fit comfortably in my mouth and this one is no exception. That Maduro wrapper looks savory, the time for the tobacco leaf to turn to that color and developing its full flavors are really appreciated. I did a guillotine cut, and at the dry draw, it was a little too easy or light for my preference but with a tone of deep chocolate, and some more subtle black coffee and earthiness hints too. Its medium body presents a rich chocolaty taste that would be a real joy for almost anybody to enjoy. It's a short to medium finish with some very light spiciness coming out during the last third. I'm not confident that pairing it with a whiskey wouldn't overpower it, however. But I do have some vanilla spice tea that I will definitely pair it with next time as I think this could bring the experience to whole different level. Either way, this RP 1990 Vintage Maduro is a definite must-have at all times in my humidor from now on! What a nice revisit! Thanks, JR as always! 5 5 1
