This sampler is here to challenge that assumption. Bringing together four premium cigars from respected manufacturers, each features a Connecticut wrapper, yet the differences in blending create four remarkably different smoking experiences.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;\"\u003eFrom creamy and mellow to richer, more nuanced profiles with hints of spice, the Connecticut Connection Sampler explores just how much character can come from one of the cigar world's most common—but often misunderstood—wrapper leaves. Whether you're new to premium cigars or simply curious about Connecticut wrappers, it's an approachable way to discover how much influence the rest of the blend has on the finished cigar.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eFog \u0026amp; Flame Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eAt first glance, these cigars look like they should be very similar—they all wear Connecticut wrappers, after all. But underneath, one uses a Nicaraguan binder, another a Dominican, another Cameroon, and another Connecticut Broadleaf. Add in different filler blends, and you end up with four cigars that smoke remarkably differently. It's a great reminder that sometimes, you really can't judge a cigar by its wrapper.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;\"\u003eE.P.
