Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade in a golden hue tops the Perdomo 20th Anniversary Connecticut, taking this acclaimed series to a slightly milder place while keeping the rich house character intact. Underneath, the same full-flavored Nicaraguan long-filler and binder core delivers a medium-full smoke layered with earthy spice, sweet cedar, coffee, almonds, and cream in perfect balance. For smokers who enjoy mellow Connecticut flavor paired with a sweet, inviting aroma, this belongs near the top of the must-try list.
