Review: Cremo Cigars Connecticut

Stallone Alagan Review: The Experience
This one was a very sweet and pretty looking cigar with nearly invisible seams, very few veins, and a beautiful light golden tan coloring to the wrapper leaf.  Subtle complexity characterized the flavor profile on this one. This cigar was much like a shy, quiet girl in the office. Many may find her a little boring, but once you get that flame lit, and if you are willing to pay her close attention, taking your time, she lets her hair down on you, and the experience will get you totally hypnotized. This is one that you will want to smoke on a clean palate, otherwise you will miss all the tender little beauties this one has to offer.
A latte (hot or iced) or a coconut rum would pair wonderfully with this smoke

Rh: 62%. Smoke time: 75 minutes

Stallone Alagan Review: The Brand

Cremo, a storied brand among America’s oldest, epitomizes excellence with a deep-rooted presence in the industry. Its commitment to affordability was demonstrated by maintaining cigar prices at five cents well into the 1990s, underscoring its significant history. In the past 14 years, Cremo has undergone a notable transformation at its Miami factory, renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and employing top-tier Cuban level nine rollers.

Although not as renowned as El Titan De Bronze, which previously produced the CREMO line, this factory preserves Cuban tobacco traditions in storage and rolling. The Cremo Connecticut stands out as the pinnacle of American factory-produced cigars, embodying a legacy of quality and tradition—a true testament to a brand’s enduring commitment to excellence.
