Handcrafted Excellence from the Dominican Republic

Each El Maestro Connecticut is handmade using carefully selected tobaccos that highlight the blend’s smooth, nuanced profile:

• Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut – silky and delicate with natural sweetness

• Binder: Dominican – offering structure and balance

• Filler: San Vicente – a unique, high-quality leaf known for its creamy texture and mellow strength

This combination creates a light+ strength cigar that’s far from flat. Expect a luxurious draw, creamy mouthfeel, and just the right touch of spice to keep you engaged from start to finish.

Tasting Notes

From first light to final puff, the El Maestro Connecticut delivers a clean, nuanced flavor profile that stays smooth and consistent throughout:

• Creamy Toasted Almonds – The star of the show, lending richness and softness

• Cedar – Provides a woodsy backbone that keeps the profile grounded

• Baker’s Spice – A touch of warmth and complexity on the retrohale

This cigar offers just enough evolution to keep things interesting while maintaining a light strength ideal for everyday enjoyment.

Perfect Pairing

The El Maestro Connecticut shines when paired with a hot, creamy, light roast coffee. The soft almond and spice notes complement the mild acidity and creaminess of a good cup, enhancing both the smoke and the sip.

• Almond milk lattes

• Light-bodied white wines

• Champagne

• Blonde ales or cream ales
