Connecticuts, Connecticuts, Connecticuts. Every time I turn my head there's some new, mellow offering with a Connecticut wrapper in my gaze. And it makes sense. This wrapper has long been the most-requested and most-enjoyed leaf of any premium cigars. But with such a huge slew of Connecticut offerings available, there's bound to be imitators. Kristoff Connecticut cigars are, luckily, the absolute real deal.
You know the formula at this point. Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper + Nicaraguan binder. But Kristoff brings a quad Dominican mixture of long-fillers to bat as well. The result is a Connecticut like none I've burnt before. The typical notes of sweet cream and slight spice are present, but they're joined by a nuttiness and a vanilla undertone. If I haven't made it clear at this point: Kristoff Connecticut is absolutely worth your time.
Good news! The Kristoff Connecticut has received a 90-point rating, with the review noting: "It's a predominantly herbal, woody smoke accented by notes of cinnamon, nuts and vanilla. The nuttiness intensifies, adding balance and richness."
