More often than not, when someone thinks of a cigar with Connecticut tobacco, the first thing that comes to mind is a golden-brown Connecticut Shade wrapper. It's an approachable, super smooth cigar smoking experience.

But, there’s a lot more to Connecticut River Valley tobacco than just Connecticut Shade. You’ve got Connecticut Broadleaf, even Ecuadoran Connecticut, and these seed varieties span back as late as the mid-1600s.

The term Connecticut refers to a variety of tobacco genetics originating from the Connecticut River Valley or grown in the Connecticut River Valley. So, whether you love the rich notes of spice in Broadleaf or you prefer the unmistakable smoothness of Shade, we’ve put together 10 of the top rated cigars on Cigar World with Connecticut River Valley tobacco.
