The Vintage Series is the range that made Rocky Patel's name, and the 1990 uses tobacco from that year's harvest — genuinely aged rather than nominally vintage.
Complex and smooth, with sweet cedar, cocoa and a long, clean finish. The extra years show in how settled it is. Sizes from a 4.5-inch petite corona through to a torpedo.

Smoke the 1990 next to the 1992. Two years of crop difference, clearly audible.
