Video review HERE.
The Montecristo White Vintage Connecticut uses a 2008 Connecticut shade wrapper grown on Altadis’ farms in the Connecticut River Valley.
Under the wrapper is a Nicaraguan binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Peru. The cigars are being made at Tabacalera de García in the Dominican Republic and are available in three sizes, the 5 1/2 x 44 No. 3, 6 1/4 x 50 Double Corona and one belicoso, the 6 x 50 No. 2. Pricing are between $10.50 and $14.50 per cigar.
Wrapper: Vintage 2008 Connecticut Shade
(Grown in U.S.A. in Montecristo Company Farms,
Exclusive to Altadis USA)
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Dominican, Nicaraguan & Peruvian
Available in 3 sizes:
No.3 44 X 5 1/2"
Double Corona 50 X 6 1/4" (REVIEWED TODAY)
No.2 (Belicoso) 50 X 6"
The cigar is a golden brown. It has 3 distinctive bands. The cigar has an average feel in the hand.
The test draw after cutting the cap was very good. The initial flavors were boysenberry and white chocolate, dry roasted nuts, and white pepper rated at a 7 1/2. I expect the cigar to change.
