Casa de Garcia Robusto Connecticut Cigars - Box of 20

A mellow, creamy Connecticut robusto for daily smoking, at about $2.15 a cigar.

Casa de Garcia Robusto Connecticut is the short, easy entry to the Casa de Garcia range. It carries a silky golden-brown Connecticut Shade wrapper over a Connecticut binder and Dominican and Honduran long filler. It is hand-rolled in the Dominican Republic. A box holds 20 cigars, priced at $42.99 against a $71.65 list price, which works out to roughly $2.15 per cigar.

At 4.75 inches with a 50 ring gauge, it is a compact smoke. The strength is mellow, and reviewers describe a smooth, creamy profile with cream, cedar and leather, a nutty note, and a touch of malt or pepper on the finish. One reviewer called it a perfect beginner or morning cigar, which fits.

It is a value cigar, and it is best judged as one. Buyers praise the price and the mild flavor. A fair share also report that the flavor can run flat and that construction varies from box to box, so a well-cut cigar and a bit of patience matter.

What to expect:

1. Opening: cream and nutty sweetness from the Connecticut wrapper
2. Middle: cedar and leather, with a smooth, mellow body
3. Finish: a light pepper or malt note, with a sweet cap

Who it suits:

1. Beginners and mild-cigar smokers
2. Anyone who wants a morning or afternoon cigar they do not have to think about
3. Buyers who smoke often and want a low price per cigar

For a longer smoke in the same blend, see the Casa de Garcia Toro Connecticut or the Churchill Connecticut. For a darker, sweeter wrapper at the same price, see the Robusto Maduro. More boxes are in our premium cigar collection.

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

Flavor progression:

1. First third: cream, nuts, a sweet cap
2. Second third: cedar, leather, mellow body
3. Final third: light pepper or malt, smooth finish
