The Di Fazio Connecticut is the mild offering from this small boutique outfit from Miami.
This super big ring gauge cigar took a while to light due to it’s girth, but it gave me time to admire the gorgeous Connecticut shade wrapper. A flawless satiny leaf!
Once lit, this cigar gives off tons of smoke, with a nice woody creaminess, with a little tea on the finish.
The burn is right on, which is always difficult for a cigar this size.
There are some citrus undertones that pop up every now and then as well as a little white pepper to keep things interesting.
The finish is nice and long, another difficult feat for a milder Connecticut wrapped cigar.
For a “mild” cigar, this really has a lot of flavor and complexity. Thanks to the great folks at Di Fazio cigars for the opportunity to try their product!

I have a few of these myself that I will be trying soon. Nice review as usual.
Thanks, Stephen!
