Flavor Profile
Flavorah Connecticut Shade delivers an authentic mild wrapper leaf experience with grassy, hay-like sweetness and light, floral character. The aroma presents sun-dried cigar wrapper with clean, earthy freshness straight from the barn.
Opening notes reveal smooth, grassy tobacco with light floral sweetness and refined character. The body develops into mild hay territory with subtle earthiness and faint nutty depth. The finish is clean and dry, leaving tobacco leaf echo without heavy smoke.
This is a refined, medium-intensity tobacco rated 8/10 that captures Connecticut Shade wrapper authenticity. The mild, elegant profile makes it ideal as a base for cigar blends, lightening heavier tobaccos, or as a smooth standalone.
