First off, this is not a wimpy Connecticut! It is, in my opinion, on the plus side medium with a great, complex flavor. The wrapper is beautiful, a nice buttery color. Smooth and consistent texture over the whole cigar. The burn is exactly what I look for in a cigar. It is a nice easy draw providing tons of smoke! It burns even all the way down to the nub! Yesterday, on an outing, I bought a major names brand cigar at the local cigar shop. Should have been a great smoke. Instead, I found myself chasing the uneven burn with a lighter the whole time. Hoping a nice flavor would come about. The whole time I was smoking it, I was mentally comparing to these cigars, as I have been smoking a lot of them lately. There was no comparison in flavor and construction. Do yourself a favor and give these a try! You won’t regret it!
