The Caldwell Connecticut T is an amazing collaboration between Matt Booth (of Room 101), Robert Caldwell, and Master Blender A.J. Fernández being produced at Fernández’s thriving factory in Estelí. For the record, the Connecticut T delivers more intensity that your average Connecticut. Every puff yields mouthfuls of tasty smoke, producing an overall profile of consistent medium strength, flavor, and body.
When the highly critical folks at Cigar Dojo rated it a 90, they described it best,” The Connecticut T is a well-balanced, and surprisingly flavorful experience. At times, pepper is the dominant ingredient, at other times, it is primarily sweet, but the cigar rallies in the final third to showcase its optimum experience—being a unique balance of sweetness, spiciness, creaminess, and buttermilk.”

La Flor Dominicana N.A.S. is one of the most interesting additions to this great company’s lineup.
To begin with, for what it’s worth, N.A.S. officially stands for Nasty Ass Shit! Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s get down to what this quirky cigar is all about. Most notably, this old school cheroot is made entirely of Dominican Pelo de Oro Ligero tobacco. With that being said, no doubt this cigar is going to be a powerhouse of sorts.
When Cigar Coop rated it at a very respectable 90, they were spot on. ” While I was fulling expecting a spice bomb, the sweetness I got off this cigar was a pleasant surprise. I can only infer the Pelo de Oro tobacco was working its magic delivering both the flavor and strength. Overall, this is the kind of cigar that is not for the novice.”
N.A.S is only produced in 20 Count Boxes of 5 1/2 x 42 sized Cheroots similar to a Corona. If you’re a of La Flor and haven’t tried N.A.S., you’re missing out on another great cigar from this iconic company.

The La La Flor Dominican Colorado Oscuro is a rich and bold smoke that is not for the light hearted smoker. This thing has some serious kick and a deep flavor profile that keeps you hooked the whole way through. This blend uses a dark and oily Ecuadorian sumatra wrapper to produce flavor notes of spice, leather, and a natural sweetness. With a wrapper of this quality, its clear why the flavors of the Colorado Oscuro are so pronounced. Wrapped over a hearty Dominican sumatra binder, it just makes it all come together beautifully.
Rated 90 at Halfwheel, 90 at Cigar Aficionado and 92 at Cigar Authority, you can’t go wrong with this amazing powerhouse.
The CAO Limited Edition Vision Humidor & Toro Cigars contains a new edition of the 2007 Vision entry.
This new blend contains tobaccos from three countries and four growing regions. The prime grade Cameroon wrapper encases a vintage blend of an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder along with Nicaraguan Habanos fillers from Estelí and Jalapa. To say this medium to full bodied, smooth smoking cigar is complexly blended is an understatement.
Now for the best part. The double sliding drawer humidor with LED lighting is worth the price of admission to say the least. This masterpiece will be around long after you finish those great cigars. This CAO Limited Edition Vision Humidor & Toro Cigars won’t be around for long. Get the hint?
