Camacho Connecticut is the mildest cigar in Camacho's stable, proving that every shade-wrapped stogie is not just some meek and mild stick suitable only for after breakfast, but instead fits perfectly into the Camacho portfolio with big, bold flavors while at the same time toning down some of the legendary strength for which the brand is known. The cigar's filler is rolled from a perfectly blended and robust mix of Dominican Aleman Ligero and proprietary Honduran Generoso tobaccos punched up with a spicy Corojo binder before being tempered with the cool, creamy Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. The Camacho Connecticut blend has earned multiple 90 ratings by Cigar Aficionado.
Camacho Connecticut cigars are handmade in Honduras to the stringent standards of the brand's parent company, Davidoff, at the company's sprawling Diadema Cigars de Honduras factory in Danlí, Honduras. Camacho Cigars was founded in 1961 by Simon Camacho and acquired by the Eiroa family in 1995, and is now made by Davidoff, specializing in authentic handmade Cuban seed cigars. The Camacho Connecticut is Camacho's best seller and is here to stay as is despite the brand undergoing renovation.
Buttery and smooth from the outset, the smoke brings into harmony the tastes of hearty oak and mild cream, with the midway point adding some crisp citrus and sweet cedar, the strength increasing to just enough above medium to further increase the enjoyment, and as the cigar approaches the nub, some nuts and spice become evident for a truly lip-smacking finish. Referred to as a "utility cigar," this is the handmade you'll want to keep on hand for everyday use.
