I hate to cuss by metntioning a machine-made, but i was wondering if anyone had anything good to say about this classic connecticut/connecticut cigar.

Pretty tasty, but way unrefined. Kind of like a BigMac. Good while plumbing, working on the car, etc.

Some of my favorite ISOMs are machine made! the price is right, and they don't block if you keep them at 70%RH with your regular cigars!

i can't stand them. they smoke okay, yes, but the tobacco is a far cry from anything i ever want to try again.

ISOM machine mades = tasty imo

muniemakers = nasty imo

a few montha ago, i picked up a four pack of these at my local shop. i like CT shade wrappers, so i thought "hmmm. this might be good!" wrong.

they don't taste as nasty as a nuway binder, but it's pretty close to it in my book. i gave it the old "try 2," but neither of them did anything for me but put a bad taste in my mouth. i didn't make it halfway through either one.

I should say that was for the oscuro perfecto. I have no idea on the other varieties.

thanks , i grew up in bloomfield and windsor connecticut where the tobacco for them is grown.

the price is good and i like the way they burn but found that they don't relite well at all. looks like a dog walker and yard cigar.

will have to try that oscuro perfecto

again, thanks for the input.
