Perique Vintage 98 Connecticut Shade

[Four Aces]

CoventryCat86 sent me this a while back on a trade. I smoked it this afternoon with a martini after a lunch with a client [I ditched the client after lunch and went to my favorite cigar bar here in Houston].

This was a good cigar. I would put it in the mild-medium strength category. It is very similar to the Butera brand, which is a cigar I usually smoke as an early afternoon or morning cigar.

This cigar is made in Enfield, CT by Click Here. This is the second cigar I have smoked from them. The first was called Old Powder Keg, a lancero, and also from CoventryCat86. Which was the most even burning cigar I have ever smoked. Extremely well constructed, and with a good consistent taste throughout. These have been my only two experiences with CT Valley cigars. I am very impressed, and thank CoventryCat86 for bringing me up to speed on these cigars.

Great review 4A, the OPK's are one of my favorites. The Periques are a little mild for my tastes but they are indeed a fine mild to medium cigar. :thumbs:

I'm real interested in the CT Valley area. I think the next NYC biz trip I do, I may loiter and tour some of that CT area. I'll need to map something out, and do some reading/research first, etc.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
