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.
The cigar is dressed in a shiny Colorado wrapper with yellow reflections. It is silky to the touch with slightly marked veins. Filling and draw are good, as is the construction.

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