Erez Connecticut Toro

Erez Connecticut Toro

Erez Connecticut Toro 1600 900 Giuseppe Mitolo

The Erez Connecticut Toro is one of many lines from Erez Cigars, a brand born in 2006 and made in Tamboril, Dominican Republic.

The Connecticut line uses a Connecticut seed grown in Ecuador, with a Dominican Criollo 98 binder and Dominican San Vicente, Olor, and Criollo 98 filler tobaccos.

The Connecticut line comes in 11 sizes, and they are sold in both 5 or 20-ct boxes.

Erez Connecticut Toro

Erez Connecticut Toro: a triptych of wood, spices, and nuts is perceived in the cold draw, all of good intensity.

Erez Connecticut Toro

Once lit, the smoke is sapid in the mouth, with a slightly sweet vein. Spicy hints are also perceived in the first puffs, which disappear within a few minutes. Very intense notes of peanuts, followed by ripe fruit and nuances of cellulose, are revealed. Strength is light (1/5).

The cigar settles on the initial sapidity in the central section, fully confirming it. The aromas of balsamic herb, cellulose, and wood all have the same intensity. Strength remains light (1/5).

In the last third, the cigar remains sapid and expresses itself on notes of wood, which become very intense, and on the unchanged cellulose. Strength increases, becoming medium-light (2/5).

Overall, the Erez Connecticut Toro returns a light smoke, with well-defined aromas never overwhelmed by the strength. The evolution is somewhat lacking, which makes the smoke a bit monotonous in a Toro size. However, considering the price, it is a good compromise for those looking for an affordable and not-too-strong smoke.
