Connecticut shade wrapper with Nicaraguan filler?

Razorhog · 03-06-2010, 09:40 PM

Does anyone know of a cigar that has a Connecticut shade wrapper, like on a RP Connecticut, and Nicaraguan fillers (ligero possibly). I tend to enjoy Nicaraguan tobacco, but was wondering what it would taste like with a nice smooth and creamy wrapper. I tried a search and came up with Pepin's Tobacco Baez -does that fit the bill?

Perdomo Lot 23 and Perdomo Champagne have nicarguan filler and connie binders

very full flavored for a Connecticut shade, and my personal favorite too!

Just read the description of the 601 Black, sounds right up my alley! Thanks for the suggestions!

Had my first 601 Black the other day and was impressed. Definitely a must try plus the 601 lines are consistent.

MiamiE · 03-06-2010, 11:08 PM

601 Black!

Everybody has already said it, but hell why not say it again. The 601 Black, its a good smoke, my wife's favorite cigar. One that was not mentioned is the Nub Connecticut.

68TriShield · 03-09-2010, 04:52 AM

The 601 is my favorite Conn wrapped NC cigar.

elderboy02 · 03-09-2010, 05:03 AM

Oliva Connecticut Reserve (lonsdale size is the best)

troutbreath · 03-09-2010, 05:34 AM

That 601 Black is a solid smoke. Have not had one in a while, but the few torpedos I have had were really enjoyable.

You have the Oliva Serie G and the Don Tomas Classico Presidente Maduro

The Oliva G is a Cameroon wrapper and im pretty sure DT uses Nicaraguan and Honduran tobaccos.

I second the Oliva Connecticut and the Cabaiguan both tasty smokes.

Actually, the Oliva Serie G Maduro is a connecticut wrapper. Sorry, forgot to put the Maduro part of it. Also, DT uses connecticut wrappers and nicaraguan fillers but they use some Honduras filler. My mistake on the DT, however the Oliva G Maduro uses a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper. If your following Puff.com as your main source of information, I would switch to something more accurate. There are plenty of things on that website that are completely wrong.

The DPG Cuban Classic is a lot like the 601 Black, but it's a corojo wrapper with Nic binder and filler. It's a Nic puro.
Why I don't like either cigar is a mystery to me, and I've really tried to give them a good shot. I should be all over both of them. Just don't like the black pepper. Wish I did. Both are gorgeous, and they smell incredible.

smokin5 · 03-09-2010, 12:19 PM

Shilala, try a DPG Black with about 2+ years on it. Most of the initial pepper blast is gone, leaving just the creamy goodness.

I find them much more enjoyable at this stage.
