OK............I'll let this slide as your first post.
I'll let Cameroon come in with an assessment of your handle.
Now, to answer your question......seriously:
For me, most of the Connies I tried, especially as a noob, were of yard gar to low mid range quality (Cusano, Torano, MoW, Perdomo, RP, La Aurora, Oliva) and a few others that were handed to me here and there.....but I forgot what, because they were forgettable)
They tasted like newspaper a hobo slept on when bad, and like a real mild cig when "good"......nothing to make me want more.
Being that I wasn't really a fan of mild cigars to begin with, and, my experience with the less than stellar Connes in the list above, I gave up on Connies. Once you get used to stronger, bolder, "darker" tobacco wrappers/cigars, a mild Connie can seem boring, and the flavors so feint/refined, they can be difficult to pick up, if at all. But if you get a crappy one? You'll ditch it real quick.
There's a handful of other cigar sites I peruse, and the DE Shade was getting some good reviews from people I trust, and from people who like cigars I like.
So I grabbed a fiver. I'll be grabbing more......it will be the first Connie I've ever bothered to buy again.
