I thought this was absolutely delicious. Really pops a lot of flavor. I’m getting creamy cedar, hay and honey. This smoked like a dream. Great draw, burn and burn line. Love the closed foot on this, gives that burst of flavor from the get go. I really enjoyed this and would not mind keeping a few of these for my Conny rotation. Great stick!

The Killer Bee couldn’t evolve… well you thought wrong. This Connecticut version of the Killer Bee will knock your socks off in flavor alone! Don’t let the wrapper fool you as it packs a punch for being a Connecticut. You have been warned and will not be disappointed. Incredible Stick!

This cigar being a Connecticut I thought it would be more of the creamy and sweet side. That was not the case at all. I got more of spice, white pepper and toasted oak wood with the occasional hickey wood phasing in and out of the overall profile.

This was a solid little smoke. Grabbed another 5pk as I was smoking it. Smooth, creamy with notes of toast, wood and some sweetness to it. Do yourself a favor and grab some of these Killer Bees.

The original Killer Bee 🐝 has been wrapped in a connie wrapper… wow what a transformation to a flavorful little smoke with notes of dry white toast and fresh cut grass, with a lingering white raisin finish. When these return to stock don’t miss them!
