Undercrown Shade Gran Toro

The Gran Toro stretches Undercrown Shade into a full 6 x 52, giving this mellow Connecticut plenty of time to unwind. It's the size to choose when you want a creamy, low-key smoke that lasts an hour.

What it tastes like

The tawny Ecuador Connecticut Shade wrapper leads with smooth, creamy flavor, while a Sumatra binder and Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers add just enough body to keep it interesting. Look for cream, cashew, toast, light oak, and a gentle pepper note. It's mild-to-medium and lush, and the longer format lets the toasty, nutty character settle into a relaxed groove.

Who it's for

An easygoing everyday Connecticut for beginners and seasoned smokers alike, especially when you want something undemanding. Pair it with coffee, a light lager, or iced tea. New to the milder end of the spectrum? Our cigar strength guide helps you find your level, and Maduro vs Connecticut explains why this wrapper smokes so smooth.
