The KC/DW Review Series

[DeeDubya]

On page 4 KC and I both reviewed a cigar in this series. He gave the Natural a 95.5 and I gave the Brazil a 9. In this series there is also a Corojo, Camaroon and Connecticut. These are basically the same cigar with different wrappers. There is no need to recap the previous reviews but I would like to point out some subtle differences.

The Connecticut is by no means a mild cigar although the light, silky-smooth wrapper might lead one to think so. Beneath the skin lies a hearty Nicaraguan Corojo binder and under that the Nicaraguan & Peruvian Ligero fillers. The "Old World" full-bodied kick holds true for the whole series.

These are incredibly robust cigars, but so well-balanced and rich in flavors that they are a pleasure to smoke. They are a perfect size and burn for about an hour. In the same vitola a very similar tasting cigar is the Gran Habano #5 Corojo. However, it does not meet the qualities of this cigar. Instead of rating the Connecticut I would just like to say that I prefer the Corojo, Camaroon, Brazil, and Connecticut in that order. Someone else may very well prefer the Connecticut over the Corojo or whatever. As a series I would like to rate them all at 9 or above.
I can highly recommend giving one or two of these a try.
