Los Statos Deluxe Adds Connecticut Shade

August 1, 2024 By Matthew Tabacco

Los Statos Deluxe is expanding its profile with an impressive new Connecticut Shade cigar. Los Statos Deluxe Connecticut, the third entry in the Los Statos Deluxe portfolio, builds upon the resounding success of the brand and continues the collaboration between Matt Booth and Justin Andrews with their lightest profile yet.

“When we started developing Los Statos Deluxe Connecticut, we wanted it to be a ‘smoker’s Connecticut’ in that it is a milder cigar compared to the rest of the Los Statos Deluxe portfolio, yet it has plenty of dimension, depth and nuance,” said Matt Wilson, Los Statos Deluxe Senior Brand Manager. “This is why we wanted to work with our friends at Joya de Nicaragua to deliver on this smoking experience that cigar smokers, newer and experienced alike, can truly enjoy.” 

Los Statos Deluxe Connecticut features a blend of mellow to medium-bodied Estelí, Jalapa, and Pennsylvania Broadleaf tobacco with Nicaraguan Habano filler, all wrapped with Ecuadorian Connecticut. The result? A smooth, creamy, nuanced smoking experience. 

Booth, Founder and Creative Director of Room101 designed eye-catching packaging for Los Statos Deluxe Connecticut to ensure that it stands out at retail and in smokers’ humidors. “Smoking Los Statos Deluxe Connecticut will set your soul ablaze,” Booth said. “It will be as if your very spirit has touched the sun.”

Los Statos Deluxe Connecticut is hand rolled at the Joya de Nicaragua factory in Nicaragua and presented in 20-count boxes. The line launched with four sizes.

Robusto (5” x 50); SRP per cigar $8.79

Toro (6” x 52); SRP per cigar $9.49

Churchill (7” x 48); SRP per cigar $9.99

Gigante (6” x 60); SRP per cigar $9.99

Hand crafted to appeal to modern smokers and traditionalists alike, Los Statos Deluxe cigars are blended by industry experts Matt Booth and Justin Andrews. Distributed by Forged Cigar Company, Los Statos Deluxe offers smoking experiences that entice smokers and stand out in the market.
