Factory Smokes Connecticut Shade: A mild blend made with Nicaraguan and Indonesian fillers, an Indonesian binder, and a smooth Ecuador Connecticut shade-grown wrapper. It has a creamy flavour with caramel, spice, and cedar undertones.

The Factory Smokes cigarillos from Drew Estate are a handmade, affordable alternative that are rolled in Nicaragua with the same buncheros and rolleros as their premium cigars.

First Third: Has a clear, uncluttered profile at first. It starts off with a delicate, airy sweetness and strong aromas of white pepper and fresh cedar.

Second third: The "Shade" character assumes control.  The flavours of roasted almonds and a faint trace of buttered toast are introduced as the smoke gets considerably creamier and smoother.

Final Third: As it gets closer to the end, the body starts to grow a little. The cedar sharpens and the pepper reappears for a brief, tingling finish, followed by notes of warm hay and dry earth.
