By now, it should be clear that the combination of cigarmaker Oscar Valladares and island vibester Jim Robinson amounts to some of the most fun and creative cigar projects on the market! This began with the duo's fan-favorite LEAF by Oscar series and later expanded to include the pencil-inspired Island Jim by Oscar #2 cigar.
Let's rewind a bit—a pencil-inspired cigar??? You got that right! The Island Jim #2 cigar takes its name from the beloved No. 2 pencil (you know, the one that was approved for standardized tests...). This stems from the cigar's shape and wrapper design, being tapered to look like a pencil and using contrasting wrappers to resemble the sharpened wood and lead of your trustworthy No. 2.
But Oscar and Jim know that every maduro needs its Connecticut counterpart, resulting in the lighter-wrapped Island Jim by Oscar Connecticut #2 cigar. With this shapely beauty, the concept remains, simply swapping all dark portions of the wrapper for Connecticut (and vice versa). Shaggy at the foot and expertly tapered at the head, the Island Jim Connecticut #2 cigar offers a similar experience to its sibling cigar, toning down the strength and boosting smooth and creamy nuances. Expect a concentrated smoke onto the palate, offering a mild to medium intensity and standout flavors of toasted bread, buttered nuts, freshly cut wood, and natural honey sweetness.
