Greg Gardin Beautiful stick. Aromas of bread and dried grasses. Smoked superbly with an even burn all the way down. Tasty sweet baking spices and leather in the middle. Quite spicy in the end, which was a nice finishing treat!

Tasting Notes:
Pre-light Cold Draw: The cold draw reveals subtle aromas of sweet hay, fresh cream, and a touch of cedar, with faint nutty undertones. There’s a soft, buttery smoothness that promises an easygoing, flavorful smoke.
First Third: Upon lighting, the cigar opens with gentle notes of toasted cedar and sweet cream, balanced by a light, nutty flavor reminiscent of almond. The smoke is silky and mild, with a hint of white pepper spice on the retrohale that adds just enough brightness to the start.
Second Third: The profile develops into a richer creaminess, with layers of buttered toast and soft baking spice. The cedar remains present, while a touch of honey-like sweetness emerges, enhancing the overall smoothness. The spice mellows slightly, creating a refined, balanced middle.
Final Third: In the closing third, the cigar deepens slightly, offering flavors of toasted wood, warm bread, and a gentle return of the white pepper. A faint note of caramel appears toward the finish, adding a touch of sweetness to round out the mild-to-medium profile.
The Legacy Series Connecticut offers a clean, approachable, and flavorful smoke, making it an excellent choice for a morning cigar, a relaxing afternoon, or pairing with lighter drinks and fare.
