Cavalier Genève
Tres Delincuentes Connecticut
This is one of the three expressions in the Tres Delincuentes line, a creative boutique series from Cavalier Genève, made to reflect different personalities of the brand founders. The Connecticut version is known for being smooth, balanced, and easy to enjoy while still offering layered flavor.
Tobacco and Construction
• Country of origin: Honduras (handmade at Cavalier’s Fábrica Centroamericana de Tabaco SA factory in Danlí)
• Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut – a smooth, light tan leaf known for mild sweetness, creaminess, and a gentle surface flavor impact
• Binder: Ecuadorian Habano – a toothier leaf that helps hold the filler and adds depth to the smoke
• Fillers: A blend of long-filler tobacco from Nicaragua, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic – these add body, spice, and complexity to balance the mellow wrapper
• Construction:
Handmade long-filler, giving a steady burn and smooth draw. Good tight pack and solid ash are typical for this line.
Because it’s long filler and hand rolled, the cigar generally burns evenly and has a satisfying volume of smoke from start to finish.
Ring Size and Shape
The Connecticut version is commonly offered in:
• Toro – 6 × 54 (6 inches long with a 54 ring gauge)
• Robusto – 5 × 50 (slightly shorter but a similar tube diameter)
The ring gauge number (54 or 50) refers to diameter measured in 64ths of an inch. Higher gauges often mellow a smoke slightly and let flavors blend more smoothly, while smaller ones can make wrapper spice more pronounced. Both sizes of this cigar lean to a mellow to medium body overall.
Flavor and Experience
With the Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, the profile tends to be:
• Creamy and smooth at the start with subtle sweetness
• Notes of cedar, baking spice, and light earthiness
• Gentle vanilla or floral highlights sometimes present
• Balanced strength — not overpowering, good for daytime smoking or relaxed sessions.
The Habano binder and mixed long filler help round out the flavor, provide a bit of spice and body behind the mild wrapper character, and keep the smoke interesting through the whole cigar.
