This is one of my all time favorite Connecticuts. Flavorful and smooth, and always great construction. It has zero bitter notes, but it does have a bit of white pepper heat to compliment the warm nutty flavors and bakers spices. Phenomenal cigar.

After lighting, it is slightly bitter at first, and then some umami is produced. The style is more like Cuba, with good aroma layers, rich roasted spice flavor, and a high-end aroma. The main line is orange peel, toast, wood, slightly nuts and a small amount of bean aroma, and the taste is bitter. It burns slightly faster, the roll is not tight, the smoke is small, and the richness and strength are both low

A must have in the humidor at all times. Love the vitola and the flavor is on point with this one. Toast, almonds and a natural tobacco sweetness. Great with a morning latte.

Just an outstanding smoke. First of all this is my preferred vitola. I like smaller ring gauge cigars. This cigar just oozes flavor. Bread, almonds, cedar. It is so balanced. The construction on this is one of the best that I’ve had. The draw was absolutely perfect. Never a burn issue. These aren’t the cheapest smokes but the price is more than justified. These are ones I’ll definitely keep around. Glad to see oxford has them.
