Let me tell you about this Connecticut quartet that's been making waves in the mild-medium scene. The Perdomo Connecticut 4-pack gives you four 6x54 Toros at $29.70, each dressed in that golden Connecticut wrapper we all recognize. What's cool? You get four different blends to compare without committing to full boxes - perfect for curious smokers or folks building their flavor radar.
That initial cold draw serves up sweet hay and cashew butter. The 20th Anniversary Connecticut lights up with creamy cedar notes, while the Habano BBA version brings faint coffee grounds. Watch the burn line - these need steady pacing to avoid canoeing.
Here's where the 10th Anniversary Champagne flexes - honeyed almond emerges through baking spices. The Lot 23 Connecticut develops a black pepper kick that's more tingle than punch. Smoke output varies between blends, with the Habano BBA producing thicker plumes.
Nearing the band point, the 20th Anniversary gets buttery while the Lot 23 introduces leather tones. Some nicotine buildup creeps in around the 45-minute mark. Pro tip: purge gently at the halfway point to maintain flavor clarity.
Rolled in Esteli's Tabacalera Perdomo factory, these use Nicaraguan fillers from three growing regions. The wrappers come from Connecticut shade tents, but the real magic happens during barrel-aging - especially noticeable in the Habano BBA's woody depth.
Pair the 10th Anniversary with oolong tea to highlight its honey notes. The Lot 23 stands up better to bourbon if that's your thing. Storage matters here - keep at 65% RH to prevent wrapper splitting during seasonal changes.
