Chop this Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Connecticut Robusto up to another Connecticut shade that is in the middle of the pack. The blend has plenty of earthiness in wood and grass, but it needs to break away from all that earthiness and deliver more sweetness and creaminess. It's not off putting (especially considering the price point), but it doesn't really have anything special going for it. It's a pass for me.
The Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Sucesor Limited Edition 2024 Torpedo started out over the medium strength mark with some intense flavor combinations through the first third. As the cigar continued, some of the balance was lost, but the cigar remained pleasant to smoke. I enjoyed the cigar, but it didn't quite get there for me in the second third to make this something I'd seek out in the future, despite the better than average price point for the current 2024 market.
The My Father El Centurion H-2K-CT line was released in July of 2015 with two vitolas, a Toro (6x52) and a Corona (5.5x48).
Overall, the experience was pretty standard. There were a few core flavors that were always there, cream, wood and cedar.
This is a very good Connecticut wrapped offering that doesn't hit the typical mild strength profile they are typically associated with.
