Regius Connecticut Sampler - 4 Cigars

REGIUS CONNECTICUT - Regius Cigars Ltd was founded in 2010 by a small group of cigar enthusiasts in London. They entered a partnership with the leading cigar manufacturers of Cuban descent, based in the northern mountains of Nicaragua, employing over 500 cigar rollers. They produce elegant, hand-made cigars the old fashioned way with modern technology and advanced, innovative cultural methods.

Connecticut seed wrapper grown in the Talanga valley in Honduras. 

Most Connecticut wrappers are from Ecuador - they look nice but lack much of the depth and complexity needed in a premium cigar. In the US, Connecticut cigars have a reputation for being very mild and boring yet inoffensive. This cigar was made to have complexity and flavour displaying the best out of the wrapper tobacco. More on that below. 

Featuring a Talanga wrapper because it exhibits the best of Connecticut seed Tobacco. The floral delicate tones, the creamy texture without the harshness or the finish of other varietals of Nicaraguan or much new world Tobacco. It has flavour without the acidity and sourness of other types of Connecticut tobacco. 

It’s a Connecticut with flavour, not a cigar to smoke when you need something in your hand. A cigar that surprises people when they smoke it - surprises them that a Connecticut cigar can have that much flavour and complexity and still be acceptable strength wise to the “usual” Connecticut smoker.

The Peruvian leaf gives the cigar a layer of sweetness. Nuts, cream and butter underpin the cigar, with some chocolate notes and a hint of cinnamon that becomes more pronounced as the cigar progresses. 

Truly a kaleidoscope of flavours. A blend to please all premium cigar smokers, delightful construction, and beautiful wrappers.
