2012 By Oscar Connecticut Shade

Oscar Valladares wrapped the 2012 by Oscar Connecticut in silky, golden Ecuadorian Connecticut leaf over a Honduran binder and a core of Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers for a mild-to-medium-bodied smoke that prioritizes creaminess and aroma, striking a sophisticated morning entry in his tribute series. A refined Connecticut with enough character to keep the veteran palate engaged and approachable balance throughout.

Toasted cedar, almonds, and light buttery sweetness open the profile. A very subtle white pepper on the retrohale keeps the experience from being too linear. Flawless construction, straight burn, effortless draw. Perfect for a morning coffee or a celebratory brunch. If you value the elegance of a properly aged shade-grown wrapper, the 2012 Connecticut wins. Grab a box and start the day right.
