Connecticut Ecuador

Connecticut Ecuador – Ecuador’s Connecticut-Seed Wrapper

If you notice that Ecuador’s Connecticut-seed wrappers are a bit richer than Connecticut’s, that’s due to the volcanic soil in which the tobacco is grown. Also, the shade here is provided by a constant cloud cover, as opposed to the tenting used in the US. Still, like the version grown in the US, these wrappers smoke very smoothly. Cigar makers like the this version because of the larger crop yield, and because it requires less time to ferment after being cured in the barns. Ecuador Connecticut tends to be sweeter right off the stalk than the US-grown Connecticut Shade.
