Island Jim Connecticut #2 Torpedo 6"1/2 * 52

A mild cigar with a shaggy foot that lets you enjoy the filler’s flavors before it melds with the wrapper. The cigar features a contrasting wrapper for the head, which makes it look like an old-school #2 pencil. Its smooth, light-tan Honduran Connecticut wrapper drapes a binder and filler made of undisclosed tobaccos. The cigar pairs well with a morning coffee. The Island Jim Connecticut #2 is handmade at the Oscar Valladares Tobacco & Co factory in Honduras.
