The newest version of the Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 will be the smallest.

Next month, Rocky Patel Premium Cigars will launch the Vintage 1999 Minis, a 4 1/4 x 32 petite corona version of its Vintage 1999 blend. Like many similar cigars of its size, it will be sold in tins of 10 with pricing set at $17 per tin.

The blend uses a Connecticut shade wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. It is produced at STG Danlí in Danlí, Honduras.

“(It’s) the perfect mild smoke in under ten minutes,” said Rocky Patel, founder of Rocky Patel Premium Cigars, in a press release.

The Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Minis will launch nationally in “early April.”

Update — The original version of this story indicated the wrapper was an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, it in fact is from America.
