Cle Connecticut 46 x 5 3/4: before to light it up, the cigar gives off scents of wood and spices, with a little bit of cocoa.

The opening is very acidulus with a touch of bitterness, and delivers piquant spices, that will disappear soon. The aromatic palette is made of light spices, hazelnut and mineral notes. The strength is medium (3/5).

In the second third the acidulus flavor come less. The aromas turns to rich notes of hazelnut, almond and wood. The strength increases a little (3,5/5).

In the last third the cigars delivers wood, walnut, almond a some metallic notes. The strenght increases againg, reaching a medium to full level (4/5).

Overall, the CLE Connecticut 46 x 5 3/4 develops a very good aromatic intensity, especially in the middle third. The balance is not as good, due to the acidulus and bitter flavors that are perceivable in the first half. The evolution, the persistence and the complexity are average.
