Rocky Patel Vintage 2003 Cameroon
At last year’s IPCPR, Rocky Patel introduced his latest extension of the Vintage line. The Vintage 2003 uses a select Cameroon wrapper over binder and filler that have been aged for over 8 years. As a Cameroon fan, I was eager to try it. The cigar had a great burn and was a very smooth […]
