The Veritas Torch Connecticut is a mild to medium bodied premium cigar that is known for not being your typical Connecticut. Unlike most Connecticut cigars, this Torch packs a noticeable punch that will light up your palate. The Veritas Cigar Co. was established in 2011. Veritas is Latin for “Truth without fear,” which is the motto from the high school attended by Chris Weber, the company’s Chairman. It is also the driving edict behind the Veritas Cigar Co.
