When first released in 2016, The Oscar cigar became an instant hit not only because of its excellent construction, savory flavor profile and appealing price, but because instead of using cellophane packaging, the cigar was wrapped in an actual verdant tobacco leaf. The Oscar Connecticut follows in the footsteps of its predecessors: the Maduro and the Habano. Like the two blends before it, the Connecticut uses a Honduran and Nicaraguan filler encased in a Honduran binder. However, for The Connecticut, this awesome blend is draped by a golden brown Connecticut Shade wrapper, which adds a smooth creamy dimension to its flavor profile. Once rolled, the cigars are placed in a collectible wooden box that was meticulously designed to resemble an actual cigar mold. The cigars are handmade at Oscar Valladares’ own factory in Danli, Honduras.
