There’s already an AGANORSA Leaf Aniversario Connecticut Toro; it measures 6 1/4 x 52. In a month, there will also be a 6 x 52 toro.

It’s not simply a quarter-inch of difference in length. The new Tubo is a round cigar while the original Toro is box-pressed. Also, as the name implies, the Tubo will come individually packaged in tubes. Blend-wise, the two cigars are the same: an Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed wrapper over Nicaraguan tobaccos grown by AGANORSA. The line is made at the company’s factory in Nicaragua.

The AGANORSA Leaf Aniversario Connecticut Tubo has an MSRP of $19.99 and comes in boxes of 10 cigars.

“The Aniversario Connecticut Tubo offers a perfect combination of elegance, convenience, and flavor,” said Terence Reilly, vp of sales & marketing for AGANORSA Leaf, in a press release. “It’s an ideal cigar for both longtime fans of the brand and smokers discovering Aganorsa for the first time.”

AGANORSA Leaf will show off the Aniversario Connecticut Tubo to retailers during the 2026 PCA Convention & Trade Show, which takes place April 18-20 in New Orleans. The company says it will ship the cigar to stores in late April.

A teen is suffering non-life-threatening injuries from a gunshot wound after a shooting in Hartford on Monday morning, police said.

Hartford Police Lt. Aaron Boisvert said officers were dispatched to the area of East Street around 6:45 a.m. When they arrived, they found a 14-year-old victim with a gunshot wound. The victim is being treated at a local hospital.

“It is not believed that the incident occurred on East Street,” Boisvert wrote in a press release.

Police do not know where the shooting occurred, according to Boisvert.

The Hartford Police Major Crimes and Crime Scene Divisions are investigating the incident.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with any information regarding the case is asked to call the Hartford Police tip line at 860-722-TIPS (8477).

Two people are hospitalized following a crash early Sunday morning in Hartford.

According to officials, officers responded to 587 Blue Hills Avenue around midnight for reports of an accident with serious injuries.

They say firefighters arrived on scene to a 2-car crash with a white Lexus rolled over with ejection of the driver.

Officials say the victim was conscious on the ground and received quick trauma assessment before being transported to Saint Francis Hospital.

The driver is in stable but critical conditions, police say.

The operator of the white Toyota sustained minor injuries and was also transported to Saint Francis Hospital for further evaluation.

Officials say that the driver of the Lexus was driving southbound and tried to pass the Toyota when the car spun out, hit several fences and two parked cars.

The investigation is still ongoing.
