XIKAR HC Connecticut Shade Robusto 5" * 50

XIKAR spent many years developing their HC Series Connecticut Shade cigar, with the help of master blender Jesus Fuego. Made with Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade and tobaccos from five different countries, this blend proves to be rich and sophisticated, yet doesn't overpower the delicate Connecticut Shade wrapper. The XIKAR HC Connecticut Shade Robusto will prove satisfying for those who love the creaminess of the Connecticut Shade wrapper but are also looking for more body and flavor.
