Here’s the recipe for this medium to slightly full flavored robust creation:
-Use long filler leaves from the very top of the plant consisting of 1998 Criollo and 1999 Corojo vintages
-Use 1999 Rosado Corojo Wrapper
-Age for seven years
The results are a rare combination of balanced sweetness, spice and overall complexity that hasn’t been duplicated.

Out of all the Aganorsa editions offered, this one has the “secret sauce”! We know that the specifics of the fillers and binder are not really disclosed, it is widely known that Aganorsa only uses the finest vintage leaves. The Ecuadorian grown Connecticut seed wrapper gives this stick a unique twist. While Connecticut usually means mild to mellow in taste, this cigar’s coat combined with the inners yields an extremely flavorful, medium bodied smoke with the signature character the company is known for. This is a wonderful smoking experience in the morning as well as a satisfying nightcap.

The “Back2Back” brand was launched by Davidoff in 2018 as a fairly priced “Meat and Potatoes” smoke. My only issue with the company was only offering them in huge boxes of 50 sticks. This dark and oily Nicaraguan puro is a smooth, flavorful medium bodied cigar. This well made stick is balanced and consistent with pleasant notes of coffee and spices. While the overall taste increases slightly in intensity as you move along, it remains balanced and enjoyable to the finish.

Back 2 Back Connecticut is one of two unique cigars coming to us from Davidoff.
These Dominican made Connecticut editions offer a balance of approachability and complexity, making them perfect for a wide range of smokers, especially those of you who enjoy big rings sizes.
Developing Palates feels you do get a lot of cigar for your money with an enjoyable flavor profile. Think hardwoods, creaminess, black pepper and spices in a mild to medium bodied smoke. Bespokeunit thinks this Back2Back is good as well. “This is the entry level for Davidoff and well worth a try. The Back2Back Connecticut is an enjoyable smoke fully of cedar and nutty notes, with a hint of pepper too.” Take the case of the guys at Blind Man’s Puff. They give it a 90 rating……”I thought this was a great cigar and enjoyed bigger ring gage. It has a great feel in your hand. It’s on the milder side in strength so that even someone who leans to a stronger cigar would enjoy this cigar.”
Grab a five pack of these great smokes and try them out. Money well spent for sure.

This is my favorite offering from Southern Draw. It’s also one of their best sellers for all the right reasons. Habano-Rosado wrappers are rarely used let alone being double fermented as these are. I feel this contributes greatly to how the sweet and spicy notes from the Cuban seeded fillers and binder remain so crisp and balanced. This solidly medium bodied stick is a joy to behold for seasoned smokers as well as newcomers.
