Smokers consistently enjoy the Firecracker Connecticut’s balance: it’s creamy and nutty with a sweet, bready body and an aromatic, easy-going smoke. While the open draw may lead to a warmer smoke if puffed aggressively, most find it satisfying for a 30–35 minute session.

This cigar was pretty good. Definitely not something I’d buy a box of especially since it’s a nub vitola. The flavors were quite nice for a CT.

This was solid. My only gripe on this was the draw was pretty open so it wanted to get hot pretty fast. The flavors were good. Got bread, cashew and some hay. The rest of the construction was decent but that draw was tough. Got about 35 minutes from this.

I enjoyed this one. It’s got a little kick, but nothing extreme. I got some nice nutty cashew butter, a little vanilla wafer, some black peppper underneath, and saltine cracker to round it out. It burned pretty well, not spectacular but not atrocious either, no need for touch ups. The price is great, and these would make a great winter dog walker cigar.
