Cohiba Connecticut Robusto

Let's talk about this Connecticut-wrapped charmer from Cohiba's non-Cuban lineup. Priced at $448.02 for a box of 20 robustos, the 5.5"x50 stick packs Mexican San Andres binder and a multinational filler crew from Brazil to Nicaragua. Perfect for morning coffee pairings, it's basically a liquid breakfast in cigar form - if your breakfast tastes like toasted almonds and vanilla cream.

Burn Session Breakdown

First Third

The foot toasts up with bakery vibes - think fresh croissant crumbs meeting melted butter. Smooth draw delivers hay sweetness and cashew cream, zero bite. Smoke output stays polite, like good elevator etiquette.

Middle Third

Olor leaves flex here. Cedar planks and white pepper emerge, but it's the Dominican Piloto Cubano's caramelized sugar note that steals the show. Ash holds strong through 1.5 inches - decent construction flex.

Final Third

Brazilian Mata Fina brings earthy bass notes. Still creamy, but now with leather-bound book aroma. Watch the Jalapa ligero trying to add spice - gets about as intense as mild salsa. Stub at 1" to avoid wrapper unravel.

Head-to-Head Connecticut Robustos

  • Macanudo Café: 5"x50 - Hay & honey with weaker staying power
  • Ashton Classic: 5"x50 - Sharper cedar, better morning cigar
  • Montecristo White: 5"x50 - Similar profile, tighter roll
  • Rocky Patel 1999: 5"x52 - Deeper espresso notes, fuller body

Construction Check

The Ecuadorian wrapper shows minimal veins and solid color uniformity. Pre-light sniff gives sweet barnyard - not overwhelming. Cut reveals slightly spongy pack but maintains structural integrity. Burn line? Let's call it "artisanal waviness" rather than razor-sharp.
