Cohiba Connecticut Gigante

Cohiba Connecticut was the first Connecticut Shade release in the brand’s history, and its smoothest cigar. Cohiba’s agronomists partnered with an independent grower in Ecuador’s Los Rios province — volcanic soil, natural cloud cover — to develop a silky, near-veinless golden wrapper made specifically for this blend. Beneath it sits a zesty Mexican San Andres binder and a four-country filler: Brazilian Mata Fina and Dominican Piloto Cubano for complexity, Nicaraguan Jalapa for strength, Dominican Olor for depth. Mild-to-medium, with cream, cocoa, toasted bread, cedar and roasted nuts. Made at General Cigar Dominicana.

6″ x 60 — the widest in the line, and the creamiest-smoking for it.
