Pepin and Jaime Garcia gave La Aroma de Cuba a mellow new lane with the Connecticut line, blending Nicaraguan estate tobaccos under a silky Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. The Churchill comes in at 7 x 50 and lands in the mild to medium range with almond, cashew, cedar, coffee bean, and a soft buttercream finish that feels smooth from first light to last inch. It is an easy long-format smoke for morning coffee or a slower afternoon, with enough richness to stay interesting without crowding the palate.
