Victor Sinclair Connecticut Yankee

With its wide gold ring and the equally wide band at its foot, the attractive packaging of Victor Sinclair's Connecticut Yankee speaks to the pride Victor Sinclair takes in this stick. Four years ago he purchased a small, experimental cache of a rare wrapper tobacco—Connecticut-grown, Havana-seed leaf. Neither broadleaf or shade-grown, the wrapper delivers a distinctively smooth, rich flavor that begins with light chocolate and nutty tones and transitions to a light leathery taste. This mild to medium-bodied cigar burns evenly throughout the smoke and is so mellow you're going to want to enjoy it right down to the nub! Easygoing, this is a great smoke to fire up in the early hours of the day. Sit down with the Sunday paper, a cup of coffee and this Connecticut Yankee and you'll be reminded of the value of life's simple pleasures.
