"Great quick smoke."

Honestly, I don t expect too much out of minis. However, this is probably the best mini I have smoked yet. It s smooth but full, with great flavor. The craftsmanship us there too.

"Great Smoke with Coffee"

I enjoy just about everything from Rocky Patel but particularly more mild to mild-med and this is a nice balance of flavor and strength. The Vintage 1990 Junior claims to be medium but I find it a touch stronger than that. These are toasty and definitely the most flavorful Connecticut cigar I ve had, a perfect companion to coffee. As a comparison, these are the same size and price nearly as Avo Puritos, which are also excellent but far more mild and creamier. My one and only complaint is that wonderful, open Rocky Patel draw isn t quite there but it s also not a difficult or tight draw, so hopefully it s just an off tin. If you like a bit more zest in your Connecticut smoke I would highly recommend these, especially if you like a shorter smoke during the day that picks up and re-lights perfectly all the way to the nub.

"A good little smoke"

This is a decent cigar in every sense. The wrapper is not the most attractive with darker spots all over, the filler is clearly cut outs from long fillers used for other cigars not a bad thing per se , the construction is a bit sloppy but ok, the draw is pretty good for a cigar of this size and the flavors are mild and pleasant in the first half with more pepper in the second half but not overly complex. At $1.70 per little stick this is pretty good but I m not sure it make a lot of sense. Each time I think of lighting one up I find myself wondering whether I m not better off waiting and lighting a bigger cigar that will have better construction and flavors.
