For the first time in the Dominican brand’s history, Cohiba will be getting an Ecuador Connecticut wrapper.  The new brand is called Cohiba Connecticut and is wrapped in a Connecticut cover leaf from Ecuador’s cloudy Los Ríos province.  Because of Ecuador’s fairly constant cloud cover, Connecticut-seed tobacco doesn’t need to be tented under cloth while it grows in the field the way it does in Connecticut, as the clouds provide a natural filter from the sun. This filtration results in a thinner, cleaner wrapper with finer veins and a smoother texture.

Underneath the Ecuadoran Connecticut wrapper, a Mexican San Andrés binder brings together the filler blend of Brazilian Mata Fina, Dominican Piloto Cubano, Dominican Olor and Nicaraguan tobacco from Jalapa.  These smooth mild-to-medium bodied cigars deliver complex flavors and a creamy smoke.
