The Art of Quiet Power
The Yao Connecticut steps onto the stage draped in golden elegance. As the most refined entry in El Séptimo’s bold Emperor Collection, this cigar whispers its authority instead of declaring it. Wrapped in a flawless Connecticut shade leaf, the blend combines tobaccos from four nations, each selected for balance, smoothness, and resonance.
From the first draw, a current of soft cream and almond sets a gentle tone. But behind that quiet introduction lies a complex interplay of cedar, oak, and subtle spice. Emperor Yao, a ruler defined by wisdom and restraint, serves as the perfect namesake for this blend—a cigar that leads without shouting.
This is Connecticut reimagined: smooth, yes, but structured, modern, and designed for those who appreciate subtlety with strength.
First third: Silky cream and cedar, accented with toasted almond and a brush of vanilla
Second third: Oak enters with soft spice, white pepper, and a lightly earthy finish
Final third: Cedar returns, deeper and rounder, as vanilla and almond carry the finish
Draw remains easy and fluid
Burn line stays clean and sharp
Smoke output is refined with a satin texture
Yao Connecticut challenges expectations. It redefines what a Connecticut cigar can be—not just an entry point, but a destination. El Séptimo proves that elegance doesn’t have to lack dimension.
