Smoked on 03/12/17. Near perfect draw and burn, but little aroma, compared to the other AVO cigars. Although I like connecticut shade the look was not as nice as the e.g. Majestoso, The cigar felt as beeing to dry, although it was stored with a boveda humipac with 72. No cigar to remember and it was overall too expensive for what it gave to me, compared to other sticks (e.g. the La Aurora black series)
