The Island Jim Connecticut #2 features a Honduran Connecticut wrapper with undisclosed binder and filler tobaccos, crafted in a distinctive 6 x 52 torpedo vitola designed to resemble a #2 pencil. This cigar offers pleasant notes of butter, mild pepper, and fruit, with juicy fruit, butter, and light pepper flavors creating a mild to medium-bodied smoking experience.
Created through the collaboration between Jim Robinson, a Pittsburgh-based retailer, and Oscar Valladares at his Danlí, Honduras factory, the cigar features the signature flared shaggy foot and skillfully applied pencil tip cap that defines the Island Jim brand. Like other Island Jim variants, this Connecticut version maintains the unique pencil-shaped design while offering a milder flavor profile compared to its predecessors.
Island Jim cigars are described as very serious cigars for very serious cigar connoisseurs, with beginners unlikely to fully appreciate the delicate complexity of the flavor profiles. The Connecticut pairs well with dark rum, single malt scotch, or a good port wine, and makes a great conversation piece when relaxing in the cigar lounge.
