REVIEW

Coming to us from the June 2022 My Monthly Cigars Box, this well rolled cigar is covered in a thin, light brown and patina wrapper. The preignition aromas are an interesting candied cherry as a straight cut leads us to a medium draw resistance.

Decorative “ribbon” foot band removed and a toast/light. Within the 1st dozen puffs, a creamy experience begins to develop. Super mild at the retro and finish, notes of toasted cashew and nougat are very prominent. The finish is very oily and buttery on the pallet, alongside a more magnified version of the forward notes.

Getting into the body of the 1/3, we see a consistency alongside a mild vanilla reminiscent of finishing a vanilla iced cream cone (with residual vanilla on it). Into the center of the cigar and still consistent. Ultra smooth and creamy with the slightest introduction of a mild pepper. The burn has no issues and a medium gray ash builds dimes on a wavering ash fringe.

Into the 3/3 and still quite consistent, with a strength movement to mild plus (bordering medium). Deep within the retro and finish, there is an extremely subtle floral/eucalyptus quality that blends well with the creamy vanilla wafer and cashew butter notes.

Getting into the concluding nub, an iron mineral note mixes with the pepper to shift the gearbox into medium. Certainly a Connecticut with some complexity and strength, especially in the concluding puffs. Based on its meek price point, this is a “no brainer” cigar. Well constructed, great combustion and a very tasty number considering its Connecticut advertising.

Did I mention the finish lasts forever?
