Nice smoke, a little lighter than I prefer but I wanted to try something on the lighter side of medium. Had a good burn, nice subtle flavor notes. I think this would be a nice cigar for those wanting to set up from an Ashton into that more medium range without it being overbearing.

That Black Label was very nice, smooth medium body, but tasty and aromatic, a solid hour and ten minutes smoke that will repeat for sure.

Royalty 5.5×42. The cigar burned well with a tight burn line that required no re-lights or touch ups. The draw was a little tighter than I prefer, but okay, and smoke production was moderate. The cigar left a dry mouth feel. Right from the jump it weighs in with dark chocolate/coffee and some bitterness, which becomes more leathery as the smoke proceeds. There was some sweet bread and dried fruit on the retrohale, but there could have been a little more to balance the base flavors, in my opinion. Not a bad cigar, but a little heavy for my taste.

I don’t smoke a lot from this company but felt this was a solid offering from them. It’s not your average Connecticut. There is a little more power and flavor to this. I’m getting woody notes, slight pepper and a creamy finish. The flavors in the corona were solid and gave me what I was wanting out of this. At a sub $7 price point you absolutely cannot go wrong with this.

A Connecticut with a little more umph. White pepper, woodiness, cinnamon and a hint of vanilla sweetness. A great Connecticut to have stocked in the humi.

Not your grandfather’s conneticut. Still creamy and nutty, everything you love about a good conneticut, but it has a ton of flavor too. White pepper and oak, cinnamon and vanilla bean. Can’t get enough of them.
