About this cigar
Oscar Valladares built his name on honest construction and thoughtful blending, and the 2012 Connecticut proves why retailers stock his work year after year. This Toro pairs a silky Connecticut wrapper with a Honduran binder and long-fillers sourced from the brand's own holdings. The result is a creamy, approachable smoke that opens with subtle cedar and toasted nuts before settling into a gentle vanilla undertone during the final third. The burn is reliably even, and the draw feels generous without becoming slack. At this vitola, the Connecticut shines without overwhelming. It's the kind of cigar your customers light after lunch, or your lounge guests reach for when they want sophistication without the hour-long commitment of a larger format. The profile sits comfortably in the mild-to-medium range, making it an ideal anchor in any serious retail collection. Box of 20 units makes restocking simple, and the consistency Valladares is known for keeps repeat customers coming back. A smart play for lounges looking to round out their Connecticut offering with something genuinely well-made.
