Review Notes: The appearance of this cigar is deceiving. When you look at the band it has a cheap appearance but the flavor is anything but. The only thing with Rocky Patel Connecticut's is that it starts sub par the first inch. After that you start to get hints of wood, earth, light spice, and even caramel. I also get subtle, very light hints of mint around the inch and a half mark. Halfway through the cigar you get strong nutty flavor with a delicious creaminess. The finish of the cigar is a bit spicy but it makes the finale of the cigar more satisfying than the cigar not having it. Overall, I really enjoy the RP Connecticut and keep several in my box. If your looking for a flavor Connecticut, give Rocky's a shot.
