## Made in the Shade

This Connecticut was a nice change of pace. The smoothness and creaminess was top-notch.

I was given this as a gift for walking into a new store that popped up next to a pizza place I was at. The guy thanked me for coming in and handed me one after he knew I was a cigar smoker and not a vape consumer.

I liked this cigar. I will smoke more of these, guaranteed. I can see this as the budget smoke where you don't care if it gets stepped on or tossed early, etc.

The only complaint I had was the wrapper condition. This easily could have been why the guy was passing them out in the first place, but it unraveled like a wool sweater at grandma's house.

I did a punch cut that caused the cap to literally blow apart, the I guillotined the sucker and wound up holding a cigar in its binder with 1/3 left.
