Charter Oak Connecticut Shade Lonsdale is not your ordinary "budget-friendly" cigar, using an elegant 6.25" x 46 Lonsdale format that is often dubbed "the connoisseur's viola." In this shape, more of the cigar's pristine Connecticut Shade wrapper plays an influence in the overall blend (due to the slender ring gauge), showing more concentrated nuances of wheat, butter, barnyard hay, crackers, and sweet tea.
