Connecticut — Toro
86 out of 100. My Score: the CigarSolace Scale
A refined and aromatic Connecticut experience.
The Experience
A refined and aromatic Connecticut experience.
From the first draws, this cigar feels balanced and elegant, with restrained strength allowing the aromatic profile to take the lead. Dry spice, clean sweetness, cedar, and warm baking spice notes develop naturally, creating a profile that leans more floral and sophisticated than deeply creamy.
The smoke feels silky and well constructed, while cinnamon, spiced nuts, and cedar continue building throughout the experience. Construction remained excellent with an even burn and compact ash during most of the smoke.
Toward the final third, the spice intensified noticeably and a stronger bitterness began to appear, taking away some of the balance that defined the earlier stages.
Final Thoughts
“Overall, a well-constructed and refined cigar built more around aromatic elegance than strength or heavy creaminess.”
