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.
Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

Some of the wrappers being grown in Honduras include Corojo, Honduran Claro, Honduran Criollo, Honduran Jamastran Viso Rosado, Honduran San Agustin Havana Seed and San Agustin Ligero.

The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.
