Romeo y Julieta 1875 Connecticut Nicaragua

Cedar, cream, nuts, and a touch of spice.

The Romeo y Julieta 1875 Connecticut Nicaragua Magnum is a cigar that offers a unique twist on the classic Connecticut-shade experience. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect:  

Key Characteristics:

Wrapper: Features a Nicaraguan-grown Connecticut seed wrapper. This is a notable point, as Connecticut wrappers are traditionally grown in the U.S. or Ecuador. The Nicaraguan soil is said to impart a different dimension to the typically mild Connecticut leaf.  

Binder & Filler: Comprised entirely of Nicaraguan tobaccos from the Plasencia farms. This makes it a Nicaraguan puro.  

Size: The "Magnum" vitola is typically a 6 x 60, a large ring gauge cigar that allows for a cooler burn and a longer smoking time.  

Strength: Generally described as medium in strength, offering a balance between the mildness of the Connecticut wrapper and the inherent strength of Nicaraguan tobaccos.  

Flavor Profile: Expect a profile that blends the smooth, creamy notes often associated with Connecticut wrappers with the earthy, spicy, and sometimes slightly sweet characteristics of Nicaraguan tobacco. You might find notes of cedar, cream, nuts, and a touch of spice. Some reviewers have also noted hints of cinnamon, sweetness, and even floral notes.  

In essence, this cigar aims to deliver a smooth and approachable smoking experience with an added layer of complexity and richness thanks to the Nicaraguan tobaccos and the unique Nicaraguan Connecticut wrapper. It's considered an intriguing blend that offers something a bit different for fans of both Connecticut and Nicaraguan cigars.
