Blanco Liga Exclusiva de Familia Connecticut Toro is one of the milder cigars offered by the Florida-based Blanco Cigar Company. Family owned and operated, Blanco Cigars is a small brand started in 1998. Their roots run far deeper, as the family is cousins to the Plasencias, one of the top cigar producers in the world. Owners David and Cesar Blanco look to the Plasencias to roll all Blanco cigars in their state-of-the-art factory in Nicaragua. The Liga Exclusiva de Familia lines are really what the brand has come to be known for, and some would consider them to be the brand’s flagship lines. Blanco Liga Exclusiva de Familia Connecticut is a top-shelf cigar featuring a 100% whole-leaf long filler blend of Nicaraguan fillers, a Nicaraguan binder, and a crisp, golden U.S. Seed Connecticut Shade wrapper grown in Honduras. The bold filler blend plus the mild wrapper produces a mild-medium-bodied flavor profile that is both luxurious and versatile.
Clean lines, tiny veins, and a golden color give Blanco Liga Exclusiva de Familia Connecticut a gorgeous appearance. The articulate band and cedar sleeve add a look of opulence, and each vitola is finished with a green foot band. Superior craftsmanship lends to an easy draw and a sharp burn, and the dense clouds of white smoke give off a classic Connecticut room note. Blanco Liga Exclusiva de Familia Connecticut starts off with a creamy, earthy character with a smooth tobacco note lingering in the background. Sweet oak and a hint of white pepper add an interesting flavor, and the finish is long and smooth. For a Connecticut cigar, Blanco Liga Exclusiva de Familia Connecticut is more on the medium-bodied side and packed with enjoyable flavor. This 6” x 54 Toro is slightly larger than a traditional toro size and offers a cool, lengthy smoking experience.
Suitable for all audiences, yet custom-fitted to experienced aficionados, Blanco Liga Exclusiva de Familia Connecticut brings back memories of the Connecticut-wrapped ultra premiums of old. Blanco Liga Exclusiva de Familia Connecticut pairs beautifully with white wine or champagne and would be more than appropriate as a celebration cigar for those looking for something on the lighter side. An immensely flavorful, yet pleasantly tame Connecticut treasure, Blanco Liga Exclusiva de Familia Connecticut alludes to timeless classics such as Diamond Crown, Montecristo White, and CAO Gold. If you haven’t tried any of the wonderful offerings from Blanco Cigars, Blanco Liga Exclusiva de Familia Connecticut Toro is a good place to start.
