Probably the tastiest Connecticut I’ve had. Smooth, creamy, and easy enough to smoke every day — even with my morning coffee. This is one of those cigars I never get tired of.

I see green, I see emerald, I see an Esmeralda sky when I smoke this cigar. There’s something fresh, elegant, and almost dreamy about it. Definitely one of my favorites.

One of the most aromatic cigars I’ve smoked. Sometimes it feels like you’re smoking the flower of the tobacco plant, not just the leaves. Beautiful aroma, rich flavor, and such a unique experience.

It was a very nice smoke. I think I would've enjoyed it more if I hadn't smoked the Emperor Neopoleon first. Now that is a mighty fine smoke. Thank you for that one
