Connecticut robusto

By La Aroma de Cuba

Jose "Pepin" Garcia and his son Jaime built their reputation on bold, fuller-bodied blends, which makes the Connecticut a genuine outlier in the La Aroma de Cuba catalog. It stands as the brand's mildest release, built around a triple fermentation process on the Nicaraguan binder and filler that softens the profile and adds a creamy, almond-forward sweetness beneath the wrapper. The wrapper is Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade over a Nicaraguan binder, with Nicaraguan long-leaf filler from the Garcia family farms in Condega, Estelí, and Jalapa. Seven sizes. Mellow to medium in body. Made at My Father Cigars in Estelí, Nicaragua.
