Fratello Arlequín Connecticut Toro

Fratello Arlequín Connecticut Toro

The Fratello Arlequín series draws inspiration from the classic Harlequin character in 16th-century Italian theater, with its colorful image at the core of its design. After the original Arlequín, with its Mexican San Andrés wrapper, received widespread acclaim, the brand launched the Connecticut version, offering a softer, more elegant interpretation with a silky Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper.

This cigar is meticulously crafted at the Joya de Nicaragua factory in Nicaragua, maintaining the series' consistent box-pressed shape and balanced style. It combines the creamy smoothness of the Connecticut wrapper with the rich layers of Nicaraguan-Peruvian tobaccos, making it an elegant and profound everyday masterpiece.

• Ecuadorian binder and Nicaraguan/Peruvian filler create an elegantly balanced flavor profile.
• Offers subtle layers of cream, cocoa, nuts, and fresh floral notes.
