About the New Wave Connecticut line
New Wave Connecticut is E.P. Carrillo's take on the mild, creamy Connecticut style, and one of the brand's best value lines. An Ecuadorian Connecticut-style wrapper covers a Nicaraguan binder and filler, giving a mild-to-medium, smooth profile of cream, cedar, almond and a subtle touch of spice that keeps it from being one-note. It is an approachable, everyday cigar that shows Perez-Carrillo's blending skill applied to a gentler, morning-friendly format.
