Reposado '96 CT Salomon

With its smooth, elastic chestnut-brown Connecticut wrapper, Reposado ’96 Connecticut is a real looker. Hand-crafted with aged tobaccos and rolled fresh, Reposado ’96 is handmade in Nicaragua. Each is packed with rich, Cuban-seed tobaccos rolled in a thick, 58-ring Salomon shape that delivers tons of complexity and ample flavor. Note how heavy it is in the hand. This is a medium-bodied Connecticut with some chunkiness in the flavor and heft departments which promise meaty goodness. An inch into the smoke you know you’re smoking quality tobaccos. The Reposado ’96 burns like a champ and produces clouds of creamy smoke. Expect an undeniably distinct character with a flavor profile that’s cedary, toasty, nutty and a touch peppery. Notes of coffee complement the rich tobacco core perfectly and a long, somewhat sweet aftertaste finishes each puff. The cigar remains medium in body from start to finish, making for a slow-burning, complex and surprisingly mellow smoke. We counsel patience with this stogie. The '96 Connecticut has great aging potential. A few months of nap time in the humidor and these babies will shine as they were made to shine! Why not enjoy it with a Reposado Tequila on ice?
