Powstanie Connecticut Toro

The newest brand to drop at OGT Cigars is Powstanie Cigars, pronounced Poh-Stahn-Ya, and one of their most popular is their full-flavored Connecticut. The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Powstanie Connecticut Toro is a masterfully refined version of the classic Connecticut cigar, rent-free in giving the bold and flavor-driven identity of Powstanie a voice. At 6 x 52, this Toro provides a smoothly balanced and more complex smoke than you may generally associate with a Connecticut-wrapped cigar. The smoke it produces is not only palatable but also full of character and sophistication, without being overly traditional, thereby accommodating experienced smokers as well as light-flavor explorers.

Packing the Powstanie Cigars punch, this release represents the company’s first new regular production line since its establishment in 2015. Made at Fábrica de Tabacos Nica Sueño S.A. in Nicaragua, the Powstanie Connecticut is the culmination of years of experience and waiting. The cigar was brought to market after an exhaustive development process, with early tastings happening during launch events. In the words of co-owner Mike Szczepankiewicz, the aim was to develop a Connecticut blend that would be a cut above the rest—smooth and graceful, yet strong enough to make a memorable statement.

Wrapping the blend is an Ecuadorian Connecticut leaf over a Pennsylvania broadleaf binder and Nicaraguan filler, which yields a smooth, complex, and surprisingly versatile texture. This is not just any Connecticut cigar; this is a lighter-wrapped cigar with a bolder, darker side! The aroma is of gentle cedar, toasted hazelnuts, a touch of spice, and a mild sweetener, which is naturally carried through the aftertaste. The toro variant allows the combination to unfold slowly and steadily, resulting in a harmonious taste and excellent balance throughout the smoking experience.

Powstanie Connecticut Toro is now available at Oak Glen Tobacconist, along with several other Powstanie cigars! Across different vitolas, this toro appeals to both newcomers and aficionados of the line as a sophisticated, excellent option for any humidor. Whether you have been a fan of Powstanie Cigars for a while or are looking for your next favorite Powstanie Cigar, this release is like a well-thought-out, flavorful decision that you will be drawn to ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌repeatedly.
