I got a box of these little RP Vintage 1999's in auction for just over half price. Given the reviews I was expecting a lot. It doesn't deliver. What we have here is a typical RP OMG strong cigar with an expensive CT wrapper. Fine for some, not for me.

hehe.... just for kicks i bought these little ladies on auction on the cheap. I admit i had a blonde moment when trying to figure out which end to light... i had to laugh as it was funny at the time. After lighting up, i was surprized by the crisp clean taste. I mean folks thses little beauties are smooth as smooth can get. the flavor is earthy,creamy,and just plain good. The burn on the other hand was a disapointment from the other RP brands/styles i have smoked. The burn started to run like a track star running sprints.... had to flame it to even it out(was not amused by this at all).Once i got the burn even all was well from there on. Since i got a box i hope the bad burn is only a one time instance, if not, it may keep me from buying more of these great tasting mellow smokes. These are a good stick other than the burn. The flavor is great and very enjoyable. The ash is firm,white, and dropped only after i was almost finished with it. One of the best qualities about the 1999 Perfecto is that it is ideal,in a setting where you have a limited time to smoke. I'll probably be trying the other 1999 vintage in perhaps a toro or churchill to see if they burn different and retain the flavour, and smooth draw. try these as an impulse, or a 5pk if you can. the flavor is worth it....

I only give this cigar to my BEST friends.

RP is a leader in construction, taste and aroma. I just wish the 99's were more available in my area. I have to order them as the only way to get them. Thanks God for FSS.

This cigar is smooth and relaxing.Great tasting to the very end.Great cigar to enjoy any time of the day.
