Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Churchill Review

[ApexAZ]

Great review. I haven't had a V90 in quite a while. Anise is not something I've detected in any cigar. Certainly not midori either! Sounds very interesting.

Considering all the unique flavors you pulled from this and only gave it a 5, a 8-10 cigar must be like a veritable smorgasbord!

No, I gave it a 5 on complexity. The flavors were varied a bit, but the really interesting ones one came on three separate puffs. For complexity, I use the Padron Anni line and Family Reserve as the benchmark. They has multiple layers of flavor that continue to evolve throughout the cigar.

Granted, the Midori was a fluke flavor I'm thinking. I only detected it twice in the cigar, but the anise was more of a mouth feel. I was trying to describe the antiseptic property that it has that numbs your mouth slightly. It wasn't so much the flavor I was trying to go explain.

Thanks for reading the review!
