    Cohiba Connecticut is the quintessential day on the green cigar. This lusciously smooth and creamy combination of Brazilian, Nicaraguan, and Dominican tobaccos is perfect from the inside-out. I was hit gracefully with notes of cocoa, spice, and an inviting hint of dried fruit. Cohiba Connecticut makes you sit back and reminisce on good times.

    An indulgent, mellow to medium-bodied premium with notes of cedar, earth, nuts, and black pepper. How else would you expect the Grupo de Maestros to mark Upmann's 175th anniversary? Note the Maduro cap as it isn't for show: it creates a bolder, richer experience than any other Connecticut out there.
