About the Camacho Connecticut
The Connecticut blend first appeared at the 2009 trade show, according to Cigar Aficionado. When Camacho relaunched its portfolio under the Bold Standard banner in 2013, halfwheel reported that the company’s internal documents ranked Connecticut and Criollo as its least intense lines.
Pairing and Storage
Cigar Aficionado’s mild-medium rating points to the lighter end of our cigar pairing guide, such as champagne or white rum; if it smokes closer to medium for you, as Cigars International lists the line, try the guide’s bourbon or espresso suggestions instead.
