Connecticut Shade
Cohiba Connecticut
Released in 2019, Cohiba Connecticut wears an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper over a Mexican San Andrés binder with fillers from Brazil, the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua; it runs around medium strength and brings cream, cedar and hay up front with light baking spice and a restrained peppery finish.

Cohiba Connecticut is the brand's answer to the lighter, refined Connecticut category — a silky Ecuadorian Shade capa dressed over a San Andrés binder and a multinational filler to add depth. Expect a creamy cedar opening with hay and soft baking‑spice notes; citrus and honeyed highlights appear for some tasters, while the later stages favor toasted wood, light pepper and a slightly savory, restrained finish. The assembly keeps the Connecticut surface while adding enough backbone from the binder and fillers to hold interest through the later thirds.
