This maduro selection is the companion blend to the Don Lino Connecticut cigar line. Both lines were released together in the summer of 2021. And while the Connecticut is medium in body, the Maduro is more than just darker in color. Handcrafted in Robusto, Toro, and Gran Toro shapes at an “undisclosed Dominican factory,” Don Lino Maduro cigars reveal a more complex smoke in a full-bodied blend.
For starters, the wrapper is a naturally sweet Mexican San Andrés. Below that is a Dominican Olor binder that encases a core blend of Cameroon, Dominican Criollo 98, and Pennsylvania broadleaf. The result is a smoke that’s well-balanced and fairly sweet to start with additional notes of earth, leather, and spice. Geared for the more avid cigar smoker, Don Lino Maduro is priced affordably, and if you crave prime San Andres wrapper, well-worth adding to your cart.
