Tasting Notes

First Third

Creamy vanilla dominates the cold draw. Initial puffs deliver toasted almonds and honey with faint white pepper spice. Smooth Connecticut character shines through minimal nicotine.

Middle Third

Baked bread notes emerge alongside cedar. The smoke turns creamier with roasted hazelnut undertones. Watch for slight tightening draw near band point.

Final Third

Caramel sweetness intensifies but never cloys. Cinnamon spice lingers on lips while mineral notes keep balance. Stays smooth through nub with no bitterness.

Comparable Connecticut Shades

  • Ashton Classic Corona (5.5"x44): Lighter floral focus
  • Macanudo Cafe Gold Label (5.5"x44): Extra creamy texture
  • Rocky Patel Connecticut Robusto (5"x50): Darker roasted profile
  • Oliva N°4 (5"x43): Citrus-forward acidity

Construction Insights

The Connecticut wrapper ages 6+ years using Perdomo's secret Champagne process. Nicaraguan binder/filler tobaccos from Jalapa (sweetness) and Esteli (minerality) undergo triple fermentation. Perdomo's vertical integration ensures consistent 90-minute burns.

When to Smoke

Perfect morning smoke paired with latte or actual champagne. The manageable size works for work-from-home sessions. Consider Maduro version for evening complexity.
