Cigar Review: Casada Connecticut Toro

I received these cigars from our sponsor, Tex Cigars a couple of weeks ago. Never having heard of Casada I was curious to try them as I’m always looking to see what’s new out there. So, here are the details: Origin: Nicaragua Size: 6×50 Filler: Nicaragua Wrapper: Connecticut

Appearance: This is a nice looking Connecticut wrapped cigar. Except for the band, which I think could be better printing quality (but hey we’re not smoking the band, right?), this cigar looks to be well rolled. The wrapper had a few prominent veins, but the wrapper was tight with no blemishes. Smooth and pristine, this cigar just looks good.

Taste: Now, admittedly, I’m not a huge Connecticut wrapper fan. But this cigar surprised me. Not complex at all, it delivers a consistent mix of earth and leather that just warmly sits on your tongue. Very smooth. It’s a mild cigar, to be sure, but flavorful..and did I say consistent? I was pleasantly surprised at how this cigar maintained it’s integrity throughout the whole of the smoke.

Aroma: Not a strong smelling cigar, holding the foot up to my nose I garnered the aroma of toasted pepper. Pleasant and not pungent. The smoke smelled like, well…smoke. Just pure raw tobacco aroma.

Construction: These things are just well made. Of the three that I had, they all burned wonderfully. A consistent, firm feel to them when squeezing with no soft spots or plugs. As I said, they burned wonderfully. Crisp and even the whole way through. Even when it was a little windy outside. The draw was firm but smooth and even.

Overall: This is a good slightly above average cigar. Consistent in flavor and construction, this cigar reminds me a lot of the Casa Torano, and at a slightly lower price tag. These are $79.99 for a box of 20. For the mild cigar lovers, or someone just looking for a good morning smoke, I suggest you try these out.
