Connecticut shade wrapper with Nicaraguan filler?
 

Does anyone know of a cigar that has a Connecticut shade wrapper, like on a RP Connecticut, and Nicaraguan fillers (ligero possibly). I tend to enjoy Nicaraguan tobacco, but was wondering what it would taste like with a nice smooth and creamy wrapper. I tried a search and came up with Pepin's Tobacco Baez -does that fit the bill?

Perdomo Lot 23 and Perdomo Champagne have nicarguan filler and connie binders

I came here to post this one

very full flavored for a Connecticut shade, and my personal favorite too!

Re: Connecticut shade wrapper with Nicaraguan filler?
 

Just read the description of the 601 Black, sounds right up my alley! Thanks for the suggestions! :tu

Re: Connecticut shade wrapper with Nicaraguan filler?
 

Also CAO gold

Re: Connecticut shade wrapper with Nicaraguan filler?
 

Had my first 601 Black the other day and was impressed. Definitely a must try plus the 601 lines are consistent.

Re: Connecticut shade wrapper with Nicaraguan filler?
 

601 Black!

Re: Connecticut shade wrapper with Nicaraguan filler?
 

Everybody has already said it, but hell why not say it again. The 601 Black, its a good smoke, my wife's favorite cigar. One that was not mentioned is the Nub Connecticut.

Re: Connecticut shade wrapper with Nicaraguan filler?
 

The 601 is my favorite Conn wrapped NC cigar.

Re: Connecticut shade wrapper with Nicaraguan filler?
 

Oliva Connecticut Reserve (lonsdale size is the best)

Re: Connecticut shade wrapper with Nicaraguan filler?
 

That 601 Black is a solid smoke. Have not had one in a while, but the few torpedos I have had were really enjoyable.

Re: Connecticut shade wrapper with Nicaraguan filler?
 

You have the Oliva Serie G and the Don Tomas Classico Presidente Maduro

Re: Connecticut shade wrapper with Nicaraguan filler?
 

The Oliva G is a Cameroon wrapper and im pretty sure DT uses Nicaraguan and Honduran tobaccos.

I second the Oliva Connecticut and the Cabaiguan both tasty smokes.

Re: Connecticut shade wrapper with Nicaraguan filler?
 

Actually, the Oliva Serie G Maduro is a connecticut wrapper. Sorry, forgot to put the Maduro part of it. Also, DT uses connecticut wrappers and nicaraguan fillers but they use some Honduras filler. My mistake on the DT, however the Oliva G Maduro uses a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper. If your following Puff.com as your main source of information, I would switch to something more accurate. There are plenty of things on that website that are completely wrong.

The DPG Cuban Classic is a lot like the 601 Black, but it's a corojo wrapper with Nic binder and filler. It's a Nic puro.
Why I don't like either cigar is a mystery to me, and I've really tried to give them a good shot. I should be all over both of them. Just don't like the black pepper. Wish I did. Both are gorgeous, and they smell incredible.

Re: Connecticut shade wrapper with Nicaraguan filler?
 

Shilala, try a DPG Black with about 2+ years on it. Most of the initial pepper blast is gone, leaving just the creamy goodness.:)
I find them much more enjoyable at this stage.

Re: Connecticut shade wrapper with Nicaraguan filler?
 

In a month or two the new Man 'O War virtue will be available at some of the larger sights. You might want to give those a try.

Re: Connecticut shade wrapper with Nicaraguan filler?
 

It may be a Connecticut Maduro wrapper, but he said a Connecticut shade wrapper like "RP Connecticut" meaning a light color Connecticut shade wrapper not a maduro.

Re: Connecticut shade wrapper with Nicaraguan filler?
 

Most Nicaraguan tobacco in my opinion is strong and spicy..... Tabacos Baez are smooth, creamy, and toasty with little to no spice... .Not exactly the same.
That said they are wonderful sticks! U should buy a box!

Re: Connecticut shade wrapper with Nicaraguan filler?
 

Famous has NICE prices on Tabacos Baez right now. :ss

Re: Connecticut shade wrapper with Nicaraguan filler?
 

These are both probably pipe-dreams at this point but the original Cuban Diplomat (Cigar King/Phatash) and the Rey Miguel (Black Cat Cigars) used Ecuadorian CT wrappers and Nicaraguan binder and filler. Both were Pepin creations but, unfortunately, neither are made any more.

The Rey Miguel is one blend that I am truly sorry I missed out on.

Re: Connecticut shade wrapper with Nicaraguan filler?
 

Cabaiguan and Oliva Connecticut - both excellent smokes.

Re: Connecticut shade wrapper with Nicaraguan filler?
 

Tabacalara Tropical used to have the Condega Connecticuts. I still have about 5 boxes. I had one this AM. Poor man's "Cabaiguan", in fact I like it better than he Cabaiguan - but not by much. 601 black is pretty much the standard for the breed we are discussing IMO.
