Leonel Plantation Connecticut

The cigars from Leonel are a private label, or rather the private label of the Höldke family, who operate a tobacconist under the name Bugge in Villingen‑Schwenningen in the southern Black Forest. Father and son Höldke began this very successful private label project around 2010 and have since turned it into a nationally very popular and well‑known cigar brand with much skill, hard work, and perseverance. Since then, numerous new series have been introduced, all of which have in common that they are visually quite successful and offer very attractive moments of enjoyment at fair prices!

Leonel Plantation Connecticut – Ideal for Beginners

The Leonel Plantation Connecticut cigars presented here are the light variant; there is also a dark variant with a Maduro wrapper. The USA Connecticut wrapper used here is rolled with a Dominican binder and a 100 percent Dominican filler blend. As a result, these are two very approachable, neatly processed cigars with an extremely mild and creamy flavor profile. While creating this text I treated myself to a Robusto, which truly delivers what it promises. Definitely not a cigar for aficionados looking for full aromatics with “real punch,” but ideally suited for beginners and lovers of cigars that “don’t hurt” and simply taste good. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Leonel Cigars – Other Formats and Characteristics

If you are looking for a stronger cigar from the same house from the Dominican Republic, then we recommend the Leonel 511 cigars. Slightly more aromatic are, for example, the Leonel Classic cigars from Nicaragua or the classic variants of the Leonel Rare cigars. Of course, limited special editions from Leonel are also available. Interestingly, the Höldkes also released a cigar in cooperation with Ralf Schumacher, the Schumacher Selection cigar in Gordo format.
