I'm all over the map with my tastes depending on my mood and the weather outside. While I love a full bodied smoke after I've stuffed my belly I do enjoy a smooth Connecticut once in a while.

What are some of your favorites?

My favorite is the Rocky Patel Connecticut, but I had a Winston Churchill No. 10 that was very very good!

Believe it or not with a few months age the Famous Dominican 5000 has been very tasty. Perfect for a morning smoke with coffee.

Perdomo Habano Connecticut is pretty tasty.

I tend to like stronger cigars, so I try not to buy any Connies.:)

The Flor de Oliva Gold has always been one of my standby morning cigars.

I agree normally but do try the 601 Black because it has big flavor and body

It's been awhile, but:

Cu-Avana Maduro
Sancho Panza DM
HdM Excalibur

And I'm looking forward to my first Cabaiguan this weekend.

I forgot to mention that the CFO lancero, when they have them, are outstanding and packed with flavor. I prefer them over something like a CAO Gold or 5 Vegas gold.

Also on the mild hitlist for me are the Perdomo Champagne and Davidoff #2 but I'm not sure the Davi is a Connie.

I am a big Connecticut fan. I like the RP conny a lot but the best that I have had lately is the Taboo LR.

I really like the Perdomo Champagne and the 5 Vegas Gold. I tried a Casa Torano over the weekend and it wasn't anything to write home about to me. Also, I'm a big Rocky fan but I find nothing to get excited about with the RP Connecticut.

It has been a long time since I have had one, but the RP 99 is one of my favorites.

One of my favorite smokes right now is the Romeo Y Julieta 1875 Reserva Real. If you haven't had one, you should really get some. Oh, and they are much better with age. The Variety of Flavor is almost Terrifying.

My Other favorite Conny is the lighter half of the Taboo Twist...

Cusano 18 Double Conny Rocks!!! But as most of you know i am a Rocky Whore, so you can't go wrong with a vin. 99:tu

The Nat Sherman Metropolitan is outstanding. Really a super nice cigar. 5ers can be had at a good price on C-Bid, but I'm not kidding these are really very fine Connies.

601 Black

I just got some of these, and now I gotta try 1. Thanks for the reccomendation Al! But if you haven't tried the Taboo LR Conn. You should!

As a few others have mentioned, my favorite is the 601 black. For a CT wrapper they pack a punch.

i just finished a robusto. i enjoyed it very much. also had a nub that someone gifted me and it was pretty good also but the 601 has a lot more complexity.

Not a big fan of Connie's, but the best I've had recently was the Nub Conn. and an Oliva Serie S. <-- I've got two boxes of those they're so good!
