New WorldEverydayRocky Patel Vintage 1992 Robusto
The 5.5 x 50 Robusto of Rocky Patel's Vintage 1992 — a 10-year-aged Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a smooth, complex medium-full blend.
Where the Vintage 1990 leans on aged Broadleaf, the Vintage 1992 is built around a Sumatra-seed wrapper grown in Ecuador and aged around a decade. It's one of Rocky Patel's most consistently praised everyday smokes, holding a 92 rating and even a Cigar Aficionado "Best Bargain" nod. This is the 5.5 x 50 Robusto.
What it tastes like
That aged Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper sits over a Nicaraguan binder and a Dominican-Nicaraguan filler. The profile is smooth and rounded — cedar and cocoa up front, coffee and a touch of caramel sweetness, with a gentle pepper underneath. It lands at medium-full: more flavor and body than the 1990, but still polished and easy to enjoy.
Who it's for
A reliable daily cigar for someone who wants complexity without commitment — approachable enough for improving smokers, satisfying for veterans. Pair it with coffee, an aged rum, or bourbon. If you're choosing between Rocky's Vintage pair, the cigar strength guide and our Cuban vs Nicaraguan note both help.
Track it in the Casa DNC app, then size up to the Vintage 1992 Toro or compare it with the mellower Vintage 1990 Robusto.
