Casa de Garcia Churchill Connecticut Cigars - Box of 20

The long, mild Connecticut for slow afternoons, at about $2.55 a cigar.

Casa de Garcia Churchill Connecticut is the longest straight-sided cigar in the Connecticut line of the Casa de Garcia range. It carries a light brown Connecticut Shade wrapper over a smooth binder and Dominican and Honduran long filler, hand-rolled in the Dominican Republic. A box holds 20 cigars, priced at $50.99 against an $84.98 list price, which works out to roughly $2.55 per cigar.

At 6.5 inches with a 50 ring gauge, it is built for a slow, unhurried session of over an hour. Reviewers and retailers describe a smooth start of cream and nuts, developing into cedar and almond through the middle. The smoke is mild.

It is a value cigar, and this size draws more complaints than the shorter ones. Several reviewers report cigars packed too tightly, with an inconsistent draw within a single bundle. Others report good flavor for the price and a consistent, even smoke. If consistency matters most to you, the shorter Robusto Connecticut and Toro Connecticut have a steadier record with buyers.

What to expect:

1. Opening: cream and nuts, smooth and light
2. Middle: cedar and almond, with a mild body
3. Finish: a gentle, clean close

Who it suits:

1. Mild-cigar smokers who want a long session
2. Anyone with a free afternoon, such as a weekend or a patio
3. Buyers who are happy to test a few cigars and adjust their cut

For a darker wrapper in the same size, see the Churchill Maduro. For the biggest ring, try the Magnum Connecticut. More boxes are in our premium cigar collection.

For adults 21+ only. Contains nicotine, which is addictive.

Flavor progression:

1. First third: cream, nuts, light sweetness
2. Second third: cedar, almond, mellow body
