La Aroma de Cuba Connecticut Immensa

A milder 2023 addition to the La Aroma de Cuba range — a 19th-century Cuban brand reportedly favored by Winston Churchill, revived by the Levin family (Ashton's founders) in 2002. Hand-rolled at Pepin Garcia's My Father factory with an Ecuador Connecticut wrapper over Nicaraguan long-filler from Esteli, Jalapa, and Namanji — walnut, vanilla, white wine, orange peel, almond, and coffee bean. Rated 94 points.
