Pichardo Connecticut Toro

Handrolled in Estelí, Nicaragua, the Pichardo Reserva Familiar Connecticut Toro pays homage to master blender Don Eradio Pichardo’s family history. Sold in boxes of 15, the toro-sized cigar is dressed in an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper leaf that feels silky smooth. The closed foot offers a nice contrast to the Colorado Claro wrapper.

With flawless construction, the cold draw brings notes of earth and spice. Lighting up reveals wood, vegetal flavors, and black pepper on the smooth and creamy smoke. The first third sees the woody notes intensify, now with a rich wood varnish aroma, while spices linger in the background. Strength builds to just above medium.

Entering the second third, the core flavors carry through as strength ramps up to a medium-full level. The final third sees a return of vegetal notes, now with a nice balsamic zing that grows stronger approaching the band. Spices remain as strength peaks at nearly full.

Though the flavor journey is relatively static outside of the last third, the Pichardo Connecticut Toro delivers a pleasant, balanced smoking experience from ignition to burn line. Fans of milder Connies will find much to enjoy in this Nicaraguan puro.
