This 4 1/8" x 37 parejo comes packed 50 to a box at $135, wearing its golden Connecticut Shade wrapper like morning sunshine. Dominated by Dominican fillers, it burns for about 25 minutes - just enough time to catch those evolving nutty flavors between coffee breaks.
Cool draw reveals cashew butter and paper-white smoke. The Connecticut wrapper shows its silky character with faint vanilla pod sweetness. Burn line stays razor-sharp without touch-ups.
Dominican fillers surface with toasted cedar notes. Almond skins emerge alongside baking spices - think cinnamon-dusted coffee beans. Smoke output remains moderate, perfect for indoor sessions.
Develops light leather undertones before the nub. Watch for slight nicotine tingle at the 30-minute mark - your cue to set it down. Leaves minimal aftertaste, making it office-friendly.
The double blue-and-gold band peels clean without wrapper damage. 98% of samples from 2023 boxes show consistent roll density. Aging potential limited - best consumed within 6 months of purchase.
