Charter Oak Connecticut Shade

A lighter blend with tones of oak, pepper, and smooth vanilla. Spongy at the feel but a rather smooth cigar on the draw.

Good cigar. Draw and burn were really nice.

Id put this at a slightly above average smoking experience, but the price point makes it a bargain in my eyes. Had a nice mild flavor throughout which got better as it went along. Sharp burn line the whole way. To me this is the epitome of cigars to keep on hand if you have some friends over who aren’t into cigars but like one occasionally.

More on the herbal side. Not my cup of tea.

Small cigar with a very fast burn, smoked it within half an hour

"Woodsy and herbal" is good way to describe it as I've seen in reviews. Draw is a little tight. Burns evenly with good ash though. I guess you can't ask much more from a budget buy.

Light smoke, good to start the day off with. Not a lot of flavors but expected for the price point.

For the price it's an alright cigar. Not as smooth as what I would want from a CT. Overall I would smoke it again but it would never be my first pick

Sweet woodiness? Woody sweetness? CT tang on lips. Forward feeling spice on retrohale. Perfect for a shorter, mild smoke.

Damn fine cigar
