Alec Bradley MAXX Connecticut is a cigar created to cope with the demand of mild-bodied cigar fans desiring larger cigars. Like the original MAXX, the Maxx Connecticut offers several large sizes keeping the essential Maxx filler and binder blend of Nicaraguan, Colombian, Mexican, and Honduran tobaccos. It is then clothed with a silky golden Connecticut wrapper, dramatically taming the overall experience.

The construction is fantastic and the wrapper leaf is nearly flawless. A generous draw provides thick plumes of smoke, delivering very pronounced earthy and toasty notes. There is a touch of citrus on the finish, and overall this cigar fulfills its purpose: To deliver the flavor profile of the MAXX, but toned down with a Connecticut wrapper.

MAXX Connecticut is a great cigar for smokers of all experience levels. It's mild to medium and very flavorful and pleasant to smoke. The MAXX line is the original hit that made Alec Bradley a common name among connoisseurs, and it's no wonder that they still fly off the shelves today. This cigar pairs well with white wine and is comparable to Perdomo Fresco Natural and Xen by Nish Patel.
