La Aroma de Cuba Connecticut represents a sophisticated addition to the legendary Cuban-heritage brand's portfolio, offering a mellow-to-medium bodied smoking experience that showcases the masterful blending expertise of José 'Pepin' Garcia and Jaime Garcia. The Connecticut Shade wrapper comes from Ecuador, with Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos sourced from the Garcia family farms in Condega, Estelí, and Jalapa. The finest Nicaraguan tobacco undergoes a triple fermentation process, resulting in a mellow-medium bodied profile with flavorful notes of coffee, cedar, and almond.
This distinguished cigar continues the La Aroma de Cuba tradition of excellence, bridging the brand's storied Cuban heritage with modern Nicaraguan craftsmanship. The line is produced at the Garcia family's My Father Cigars factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, maintaining the exceptional quality standards that have earned La Aroma de Cuba multiple 90+ ratings from industry critics. Introduced in 2023 just before the Premium Cigar Association Trade Show, the Connecticut became the seventh regular production line under La Aroma de Cuba, filling a notable gap in the brand's portfolio.
The La Aroma de Cuba Connecticut has received a 92-point rating from Cigar Aficionado, with the review noting woody core complemented by nutty notes of walnut, sweet hints of vanilla, oaky touches of white wine and an orange-peel finish. This approachable yet sophisticated classic offers enthusiasts a more accessible entry point into the La Aroma de Cuba family while maintaining the complex flavor profiles and impeccable construction that define the brand.
