I had this cigar aging for about two months. I received it in a bomb from Shuckins.
I'm not a huge fan of conneticuts, but i figured i'd give it a shot anyway!

Prelight Draw: I tasted flavors of sweet grass, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a hint
of pepper. I punched this cigar and the draw was effortless.

1st 3rd: I lit up the stick and immediately tasted a blast of pepper and toast.
The burn line was razor sharp. the ash was a light grey and formed very nicely.
There was a lot of smoke produced that was oily and very creamy on the finish.

2nd 3rd: The smoke that's being produced is very smooth. Flavors of cedar,
toast, and pepper are present in the retrohale. The smoke is oily and very
creamy so it's very consistent at this point.

Final 3rd: I get the flavors of wood (mainly cedar), toast, and now coffee is
kicking in. This cigar finishes with a perfect blend of cedar and coffee. I didn't
enjoy the first 10th Anniversary Champagne that i smoked (A toro at my local b&m)
but this one was a gem!

Smoking time: Approximately 1hr

Nice review. I smoke a lot of Connectcuts, and this is in my top 10 for sure.

Excel, very good review and pic's! :thumbsup:

That is one of the few Perdomo's I like.

Thanks for the review.

The first Champagne I smoked didn't exactly blow my socks off. A dud perhaps. I'll revisit this particular cigar.

 

[Gokian]

Thanks for another great review. Keep them coming.

Those of you who don't like Connecticuts, why not? Is it that they're too mild in terms of flavor or in terms of strength?

If it's a flavor thing, here are a few Connies I'd recommend that are full-flavored smokes:

Cabaiguan
601 Black
Perdomo ESV

Those are my Top 3 Connecticuts, (followed by the CAO Black and Tobacco Baez (OG)) and they are NOT mild sticks--especially the 601, which is full of pepper!

 

[Psojka RP,601]

sounds like a great morning or poolside smoke thanks for the review

 

[Robinsond]
