I have now tried several of the Sumatra wrapped Sinatra cigars by Felipo Gregorio. They do not even compare with the Connecticut shade version. Totally different in construction and flavor. I feel the CT is a truly great smoke at a good price, while the Sumatra are harsh and not worth the effort. Just thought I'd share that with you. Any other comments are always welcome.

I bought some CT Sinatra's 6 X 50 and find that they are a very good smoke, with good flavor and well constructed. I really dont like the Sumatra wrapper on any cigars. They ruined the H Upmann's with the Sumatra's and now they have changed their wrappers for the better! Guess I just dont care for Sumatra wrapper. They tend to be "somewhat flaky" if not humidified perfectly!

Bought some of the sumatra wrapped. Gave most to a friend. Smooth draw but has a peppery bite when exhaling. My friend likes 'em, I don't. Go figure. I'd like to try the CT based on your posts.
