   45 minute smoke. No relighting or construction problems. Taste and smoke output was great.

   Construction is amazing on these cigars. No relights or touchups required. As far as flavor notes go, it’s nothing special, notes of marshmallow and almonds throughout, and a nice cedar note developed towards the end of the second third.

   Should qualify this review by saying that I’m very partial to Honduran cigars as of late; Aladino, CLE, and Eiroa being the Godhead. I’ve loved most of the cigars I’ve had of Oscar, namely the 2012 barber pole in Lancero – fantastic. That being said it was the Honduran grown Connecticut that sold me. My go to are Connecticut’s; By no means do I believe they should be so generally regarded as “beginner” cigars. Can have tremendous strength, complexity, and nuance to the flavor, but perhaps generally lacking in sheer nicotine strength. The Superfly is a great example of what potential Connecticut’s have.
   I’ll start with the biggest positives, namely construction and burn. The ring gauge influenced this. Super durable wrapper, considering that it’s Connecticut. Last one I smoked (out of a few) I had set down for like 7 minutes. Cigar had retained solid ash, and upon return I got a great first hit, of which flavors were consistent, clean, and complex as opposed to ashy, muddy, or muted.
   Flavor wise, met my expectations which were a bit high. At the very top end of the aroma, a subtle Honduran terroir was present (think Aladino Vintage) with subtle baking spice (in a sweet way) and faint vanilla. The retro-hale being quite noticeable and crisp, with generic wood. The majority of the aroma was quite balanced between sweet, soft, and wood, crisp. The Nicaraguan seemed very evident in the blend as it is what I’m assuming is responsible for the body. The back bone of the overall profile of this cigar. It was difficult to acknowledge the Dominican in this blend. To me, Dominican is pretty consistent across the board, as far as shades go. (with the exception of Davidoff and Fuente). Black tea, honey, green apple at times, and a generally earthy and wet terroir. None of these were present for me. Wasn’t until the back of the 2nd 3rd and into the final where the mouth flavors really started to develop. The softness of the aroma increased a bit, moving away from the dryer woody profile. Texture became creamier, and the top end of the aroma seemed to match the flavor in the mouth. Retro-hale still retaining some edge throughout.
   My only qualm with this cigar, being largely contingent upon ring gauge, humidity (I’m in the pacific Northwest) and other varying factors, is that throughout the first 3rd there was a consistent, subtle harshness on the back of my throat when holding the cigar in my mouth. Something that I would typically attribute to cigars with larger ring gauges, or cigars that are too dry. This wasn’t a huge issue by any means and ultimately faded away into the second 3rd.
