Need suggestions on Connecticut and CS cigars since my humidor is full of Habano, Maduro and Broadleaf. My pallet leans more to the robust end so any suggestions on Medium to Mild sticks would be appreciated.

Perdomo Champaign (after my experimentation with connies, pretty much the only one I would buy again).

Everyone I was going to recommend has already been named. Out of all of them the Undercrown shade corona is my current favorite.

The Perdomo Champagne used to be my morning coffee go-to. Don't have many chances to relax like that anymore so haven't bought any in a long time, wonder if they are still as good as I remember.

Some great suggestions in here. Maybe try Gilberto Oliva Reserva - it's not a connie, but I believe it might fit what you're looking for...

Edit: Just saw where you went with the Reserva Blanc...I haven't had that one, but hope you enjoy it...Cool

I tried the Gilberto Blanc, didn't care for it. I do like the regular version though. Torpedos have held up pretty good as a golfing smoke for me.

Thanks for the list and your time, it is greatly appreciated. I have only had minimal experience with connies but know that I tend to like the more medium strength ones because they tend to have more of the cream notes that like. I'm currently searching out sumatra or medium body, full flavor with notes of cream and sweetness.

RAH has some good suggestions there.
But to keep things interesting, he tossed in a few turds as well.
Pick wisely.
