AJ Fernandez New World Connecticut Toro

Cigar Intel

The New World Connecticut takes the original New World line in a different direction, pairing a lighter Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper with a Mexican San Andrés binder and filler tobaccos from Nicaragua and Brazil.

That combination gives the cigar more depth than you might expect from its lighter wrapper. The Connecticut keeps things smooth and creamy, while the San Andrés binder and Nicaraguan and Brazilian fillers bring some added richness and spice to the profile.

At 6 x 52, the Toro gives the blend plenty of room to develop without being an overly long smoke. It's a medium-bodied cigar and a good example of a Connecticut that offers more than just a mild, creamy profile.

Tasting Notes

The New World Connecticut leans toward cream, cedar, and nuttiness, with pepper and spice adding some contrast. There's also a subtle sweetness in the background that rounds out the profile.

Who This Cigar Is For

If you like Connecticut cigars but want something with a little more body and flavor behind it, the New World Connecticut is worth a look. It's also a good option for someone who typically smokes richer cigars but wants something smoother without going all the way down to a mild profile.
