The Oliveros Gran Retorno Connecticut was created by master cigar crafter Rafael Nodal as an homage to his famous Oliveros brand, which was one of the first brands he developed when he started in the industry. The cigar delivers a complexity of flavors that was created by using an unorthodox three-phase aging process. First, the tobaccos are allowed to age for two years in bales. Next, after the cigars are rolled, they are placed in an aging room for six months. In the last phase, the cigars are packaged and boxed and aged for almost three years prior to being shipped. This long-term aging process allows the Oliveros Gran Retorno Connecticut to develop its memorable flavor and aroma.
