United Cigars announces a Connecticut line extension for their namesake line for PCA 2024.
Using higher primings for the wrapper, United Cigars found the best Ecuador Connecticut Shade wrapper to compliment the United blend of Dominican tobaccos. In particular, the use of Dominican Broadleaf in the filler gives the cigar body and complexity that blends well with the Ecuador Connecticut Shade wrapper. Ecuador’s fertile soil makes it the best place to grow wrapper leaves and along the foothills of the Andes Mountains we find natural shade grown tobacco that surpasses all other shade grown wrapper to compliment the United blend.
“We originally crafted the United blend around beautiful Dominican Broadleaf tobacco,” said Oliver Nivaud of United Cigars. “Working with a superior wrapper, as oily and elegant as this, only made this blend graduate to the next level.”
The Robusto 5 x 54, Toro 6 x 54 and Churchill 7 x 54 will begin at an MSRP of $7, $8 and $9 respectfully. Shipping to retailers in boxes of 20 cigars, the United Connecticut will begin reaching shelves the beginning of April.
United Cigars has had a busy year with recent announcements that they will also showcase at this year’s PCA Show. The United Connecticut joins other releases such as the Firecracker Connecticut, Gold Star Limited Edition, and the 30th Anniversary La Gianna Havana Barber Pole. Additionally, there will be a Limited Edition Atabey Collection Set that includes a sixty count humidor will be released for 2024 containing all twelve vitolas for a total of 360 cigars.
