Just got these today and I am so excited. These are absolutely beautiful in the box. I love the size and the semi box press. This smokes like a dream. Just tons of flavor from this. There is some significant body to this smoke so it’s no average Connecticut. White pepper, toasted almonds, warm dinner roll and some cedar are coming out. I have smoked boxes of the OG charter oaks and this just a level up from that. Super glad I grabbed a box of these as they are delicious. Thanks Oxford for getting these to try!

This cigar exceeded expectations – I do not much care for the standard Charter Oak releases, as I find them harsher and less complex than what I lean toward, but the heartwarming stories about how this and the Pasquale were released in honour of Mr. Melillo’s grandfathers and how these are a ‘step up’ from the regular C.O releases intrigued me.
This cigar is definitely better than the regular Charter Oak releases. It is a dry cigar, which you may either like or may find you need something to drink with it – I found it paired well with a black British tea. Slightly sweet cedar, almond paste, baking spices, sandalwood, a bit of vanilla, and then white pepper. The cigar has a distinct transition towards a more full bodied experience the farther you go, but I do not feel it ever really goes beyond a medium-bodied experience.
Overall, a very solid four out of five star experience. The quality, flavour, and construction were excellent, but as the cigar was quite dry to the palate and never really let up, I had to deduct a star.

Really love the soft box press on this. I decided to punch the pigtail cap and the draw is flawless. Wrapper is extremely smooth with no large veins or imperfections.
Initial flavors are sweet bread, almonds, cream, and a nice dose of white pepper on the retro. Body is medium to medium+. This is the kind of Connecticut I chase after. Burn was flawless and required zero corrections after a week of rest. Given the price point it’s hard to say if these are 2x better than the charter oak. Nevertheless this is enjoyable cigar that’s worth trying.

Not for me. I didn’t enjoy the OG Charter Oak Connecticut and unfortunately had the same experience with this one. I’d say the flavor is a tick up on this Pegnataro but still not something I’d want to smoke again.

Pretty good. Definitely more kick than you would expect from the appearance. The strength is probably about a 6/7 out of ten here. Lots of smoke production. The wrapper is slightly coarse with absolutely zero oil to it, and the smoke is pretty full bodied. Nice flavors mostly, graham cracker, slight spice, vanilla, walnuts. It’s a fine cigars, but it’s not worth the price of two regular charter oaks in my opinion.

For starters, I did not like the Charter Oak Connecticut Shade blend. It was too harsh/bitter for my palate. The Especiales Pegnataro is a whole different league. This blend is completely different from the original Charter Oak CT release/blend. In one sentence, it is richer and more complex. No harsh or bitterness to it. It had a mild white pepper and oaky wood on the draw in the first 10 mins of the light up. As the cigar warmed up the tasting notes developed into cedar, almond and leather.
