My Father Connecticut is an extension to the existing My Father and My Father Le Bijou lines. The cigar is blended by Jose ‘Pepin’ Garcia and his son Jaime Garcia at the My Father Cigar factory in Esteli, Nicaragua. It features an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, Nicaraguan Corojo 99 binder and Nicaraguan Criollo filler – with the exception of the Ecuadorian wrapper, all of the tobacco comes from the Garcia’s farms.
This cigar also features a very unique aromatic leaf that gives the cigar aromas and flavours; a special fermentation process was given to this particular type of tobacco in order for it to release all the aromas and flavours that the Garcia’s were looking for to finish the last touch of this blend. This is a mild to medium cigar with notes of cedar, cocoa, leather and caramel with a hint of honey.
