The same vintage Cuban-seed Nicaraguan long-fillers as the standard Lot 23, wrapped in genuine Connecticut shade rather than a Nicaraguan leaf.
The result is creamier and gentler while keeping the Nicaraguan core's backbone — cedar, cream and a light nuttiness. Five sizes including a belicoso.

A true Connecticut rather than a pale Nicaraguan. The difference is real.
