Brick House Double Connecticut Robusto 5 x 54

The Brick House Double Connecticut Robusto is a premium, medium-bodied cigar from J.C. Newman, a highly respected name in the industry. This cigar is part of the popular Brick House line but offers a smoother, creamier profile than the original, making it suitable for both newer smokers and seasoned aficionados who prefer a milder smoke. The cigar's defining feature is its "Double Connecticut" tobaccos, which include a genuine Connecticut Shade wrapper and a Connecticut Broadleaf binder. 

• Wrapper: A golden-brown Connecticut Shade leaf from the USA provides a delicate aroma and smooth appearance.
• Binder: The addition of a Connecticut Broadleaf binder beneath the wrapper adds an earthy sweetness and depth to the flavor profile.
• Filler: A core blend of Nicaraguan long-fillers adds a balanced and flavorful foundation. 

• First Third: The smoke begins mild and sweet, with generous plumes of creamy smoke. Flavors of cedar, leather, nutmeg, and a touch of honey are prominent.
• Second Third: The strength slowly rises to a true medium, and the earthiness from the Connecticut Broadleaf binder becomes more apparent. Notes of walnut, espresso, and bittersweet chocolate mingle with hints of allspice and citrus.
• Final Third: In the final third, the classic Nicaraguan spice notes and flavors of earth and pepper become more pronounced, leading to a satisfyingly rich finish without being overwhelming. 

• Draw: The cigar is known for its excellent construction, providing an effortless and consistent draw from start to finish.
• Burn: The burn line is typically even and straight, requiring minimal touch-ups.
• Overall Experience: This cigar is a fantastic value for the quality of tobaccos used. It's an ideal choice for a morning smoke, a relaxing afternoon, or for those who appreciate a flavorful, yet easygoing, experience. The Double Connecticut offers a unique combination of mild strength and rich, authentic flavor that sets it apart from other Connecticut-style cigars on the market.
