Pretty much every Connecticut is the same to me with the exception of the my father Connecticut and the ashton vintage cabinet selection (I think that's what it's called)... And what separates those 2 from the rest is that creaminess you mention...

Wasn't really all that tempted to try one until now. Thanks a lot. Seriously, have you smoked the Oliva Connie? If so, please tell how you think they compare. The Oliva is probably my fav when I'm in the mood for a milder smoke.

Yup. Thought I liked Connies after having a few MF Connecticut and bought a bunch of others including Oliva and none compared.

I was just telling my wife yesterday that almost everything I've smoked lately has come from pepin... He is great at what he does...

Have you's guys tried the la promesa lancero yet?

Thanks for the Oliva vs MF input. Will have to give them a try some day. As someone who generally favors stronger smokes, it's not easy to find a connie that appeals to me except for those times when I want a mild smoke. Making a mild cigar with good flavor seems to be a bit of a black art.

My latest "find" among mild cigars is the Fratello Oro. It's wrapped in Ecuadoran Connecticut...very creamy with some complexity and flavor variations from the average connie...

it's been a few years since I smoked a MF Connecticut...I wasn't that impressed then...may have to revisit...

Delta, what would you say the CVU output rating is on the Fratello?

1 - 10...about a 7, better than half and half but not close to heavy whipping...maybe redi whip lite
