Rocky Patel The Edge Connecticut has earned a well-deserved 91-point rating from Cigar Aficionado, noted for its sweet and spicy double corona with hints of citrus and a floral finish. The strength is mild to medium-bodied, featuring notes of creamy nougat, white pepper, dried fruit, leather and charred earth that provide a complex yet approachable smoking experience. This mild to medium-bodied blend features a 5-year-aged Ecuador Connecticut Shade wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder and a carefully selected blend of Nicaraguan filler tobacco, though some sources indicate the best Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos for the filler. These cigars are hand-rolled at the El Paraiso factory in Danli, Honduras, which opened in 2017 and is one of the most important places for the brand's cigar production. The Edge Connecticut was formerly known as The Edge Lite and represents a robust blend of Honduran-grown ligero – the same tobaccos used for the original Edge cigar – inside a silky Connecticut shade wrapper that's super smooth. This wrapper tames the beast inside, issuing a smoother, creamier blend but retaining the complex layers of flavor that made it so popular. This cigar has earned its reputation as the perfect golf course companion, boasting an award-winning ash that holds up even during a leisurely round on the greens. Master Blender notes describe it as "An incredibly flavorful yet smooth smoke. This is, without a doubt, the perfect day-to-day cigar."
