Not every Connecticut cigar comes in a shape this eye-catching, and the Crux Epicure Short Salomone shows off Crux craftsmanship in a 6 x 54 figurado rolled in Nicaragua. The Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and Nicaraguan binder and fillers bring creamy caramel, brown sugar, almond, cedar, and a clean sweet finish that feels lush without getting heavy. That tapered shape starts concentrated, then opens into a richer, rounder smoke as the ring gauge widens.
