Connecticut Seed Puro

Romeo y Julieta 1875 Connecticut Nicaragua

The 1875 Connecticut Nicaragua pairs Nicaraguan binder and filler with a shade‑grown Connecticut‑seed wrapper cultivated in Nicaragua; it lands mild‑to‑medium, with cream and cedar up front and toasted wood, baking spice and a light black‑pepper edge as it develops.

Filler

Nicaraguan

Rafael Nodal's concept trades a traditional Connecticut look for a distinctly Nicaraguan core: a Connecticut‑seed, shade‑grown wrapper grown in Nicaragua over Nicaraguan binder and fillers. That wrapper yields a paler, silkier cover leaf but with a touch more backbone than U. S. Connecticut Shade, so the cigar reads like a mellow Nicaraguan rather than a classic Connecticut smoke. Expect a smooth, creamy opening where cedar and cream recur, then a gradual turn toward toasted wood, light baking spice and a restrained black‑pepper bite; citrus notes can lift the retrohale through the middle. Construction tends to be solid, with good burn and excellent smoke output; flavor transitions are modest, making these sticks dependable for a steady two‑hour smoke or regular rotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

The wrapper is a Connecticut‑seed varietal grown under shade in Nicaragua by the Plasencia family rather than in the Connecticut River Valley or Ecuador. That gives the leaf a paler, silkier appearance similar to a Connecticut Shade but with a touch more structural backbone and Nicaraguan flavor influence, producing a creamier opening that still lets the filler's toasted wood and pepper show through.
