Nick Perdomo and his father planted a select crop of Cuban-seed tobaccos on a single Estelí farm, aged everything for five years, and the Connecticut Shade is that experiment at its most polished. A golden Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper brings a silky creaminess to a core of robust Nicaraguan binder and filler. Fresh coffee, almond, and a drizzle of honey lead the way, with soft cedar and baking spice rounding out the finish. Mellow to medium in strength, it's a refined, any-occasion smoke worth keeping well stocked.
