The Caldwell Connecticut T is an amazing collaboration between Matt Booth (of Room 101), Robert Caldwell, and Master Blender A.J. Fernández being produced at Fernández’s thriving factory in Estelí. For the record, the Connecticut T delivers more intensity that your average Connecticut. Every puff yields mouthfuls of tasty smoke, producing an overall profile of consistent medium strength, flavor, and body.
When the highly critical folks at Cigar Dojo rated it a 90, they described it best,” The Connecticut T is a well-balanced, and surprisingly flavorful experience. At times, pepper is the dominant ingredient, at other times, it is primarily sweet, but the cigar rallies in the final third to showcase its optimum experience—being a unique balance of sweetness, spiciness, creaminess, and buttermilk.”

The CAO Limited Edition Vision Humidor & Toro Cigars contains a new edition of the 2007 Vision entry.
This new blend contains tobaccos from three countries and four growing regions. The prime grade Cameroon wrapper encases a vintage blend of an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder along with Nicaraguan Habanos fillers from Estelí and Jalapa. To say this medium to full bodied, smooth smoking cigar is complexly blended is an understatement.
Now for the best part. The double sliding drawer humidor with LED lighting is worth the price of admission to say the least. This masterpiece will be around long after you finish those great cigars. This CAO Limited Edition Vision Humidor & Toro Cigars won’t be around for long. Get the hint?
