Casa de Garcia Magnum Connecticut Cigars - Box of 20

The biggest Casa de Garcia, with a creamy, mild smoke at about $2.90 a cigar.

Casa de Garcia Magnum Connecticut is the largest cigar in the Casa de Garcia range, and the only Magnum in it. It is a 6 x 60 parejo with a light brown Connecticut Shade wrapper, a Connecticut binder and Dominican and Honduran long filler, rolled by hand in the Dominican Republic. A box holds 20 cigars at $57.99 against a $96.65 list price, which works out to roughly $2.90 each.

A 60 ring gauge looks intimidating, but it does not smoke that way. The wide ring spreads the smoke out, which tends to keep a mild blend cool and easy, and the Connecticut wrapper adds a creamy, soft character. Expect a gentle smoke with light cream, a touch of leather and a little spice in the background. The shorter 6 inch length keeps it from running as long as a Churchill, so you get the big-ring feel without a long commitment.

It is a value cigar, so it suits relaxed smoking over special-occasion smoking. Some buyers report loose filler or an uneven burn, and the bigger ring gives a cigar more room to show it. A sharp, clean cut and a slow pace help. If you prefer a slimmer cigar, the Toro Connecticut and Robusto Connecticut share the same blend at less money.

What to expect:

1. Opening: soft cream and a light, smooth draw
2. Middle: a touch of leather and white pepper, still mild
3. Finish: gentle and creamy, with no harshness

Who it suits:

1. Smokers who like a thick, cool-smoking cigar
2. Mild-cigar fans who want a relaxed patio or lake smoke
3. Anyone who wants a big ring without a big flavor jump

For a darker, richer take on the line, see the Churchill Maduro. For a longer, slimmer smoke, try the Churchill Connecticut. More boxes are in our premium cigar collection.

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