My Father Connecticut

My Father Connecticut is definitely something new for Jose "Pepin" Garcia. Otherwise known for his extremely full bodied cigars, Garcia takes on a different challenge - creating a mild to medium smoke that still offers a great flavor profile. In this cigar he features an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, a Nicaragua Corojo 99 binder and Nicaragua Habano-Criollo filler.

1/3 - Right as you light the cigar up you get creamy, light pepper flavor accompanied by a mild spice that lingers on your tongue and lips. On the finish, you get a sweet wood flavor that really blends well with the initial flavors. Already in the 1/3 portion of this cigar you can tell the construction will not be a problem during your smoke. You get a good amount of smoke output, a just slightly uneven burn (nothing that I had to touch up), and a great draw.

2/3 - As we approach the halfway point of this stick, the flavors start to change. At this point the wood that you previously had on the finish has made it's way up to the initial flavor, but now with much more sharpness. The spice is still hanging out, still very mild. On the finish, you now get hints of earth and pepper flavors. Like the beginning of the cigar, the flavors are blending very well. Through this point, the burn has evened itself out, the draw is still very cooperative, and still is producing good smoke output.

3/3 - Coming up on the end of this cigar, the flavors have stayed consistent, but have swapped positions again. The earthy flavor that was once on the finish is now present in the initial puffs. On the finish, the spice has become stronger accompanied by a peppery flavor. The construction stayed very consistent all the way till the end. A great cigar brought to you by My Father cigars.
