Hooten Young Cigars & Whiskey unveiled their latest creation – the Paladin Connecticut. The Paladin Series was first launched in 2022 as a tribute to the brave men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces. This newest expression is a 6 x 52 Toro, and represents a bold continuation of that tribute—delivering a premium cigar experience designed for those who appreciate precision, legacy, and the quiet strength found in true leadership.
Expertly crafted in partnership with boutique cigar maker Cordoba & Morales, the Paladin Connecticut is wrapped in an Ecuador Connecticut leaf with Nicaraguan binder and filler. This blend delivers a rich yet smooth smoking experience—marked by creamy textures, layered notes of cedar, toasted almond, and a refined hint of white pepper. The construction ensures a clean, even burn, an effortless draw, and a long, balanced finish that earns its place in the hands of discerning cigar smokers.
“This cigar honors those who lead with calm determination and strength,” said Norman Hooten, Founder and President of Hooten Young. “Through our ongoing collaboration with Cordoba & Morales, we’ve developed a cigar worthy of the Paladin name—subtle, smooth, with body, and debuts in our lineup thanks to the overwhelming response and ongoing requests from both retail partners and loyal consumers.”
The Hooten Young Paladin Connecticut is available now in four-count packs, retailing for $40.00 per pack ($10.00 per cigar). Ideal for both collectors and casual enthusiasts alike, this cigar was designed to complement moments of quiet reflection, spirited camaraderie, or the simple enjoyment of a well-crafted smoke shared with others.
