Daniel O’Connell (verified owner) –
For those who think all Connecticut cigars taste the same, this is one of the few that proves that idea wrong – this cigar is similar to a Davidoff Signature, but amped up with stronger notes of coffee and a citrus zest. Medium-bodied, medium-strength, and best with a decent espresso or cup of coffee – definitely one of the most unique Connecticut cigars you can find and worth the price.
