*Perdomo Champagne

*EPC New Wave

CAO Black

MoW Virtue

Now for some that are medium-bodied or more:

*Perdomo ESV '91 (there is a new one now, 2002 I think, haven't tried yet but have heard great things)

*Tobacco Baez (especially with age)

Cabaiguan (natural, not "Guapos")

Edge Lite

601 Black (i.e. the OLD 601 Connecticut which has been discontinued but can still be found, definitely the strongest Conn-wrapped cigar I've ever had, very close to full-bodied and very tasty)

There are others I'll still smoke, but they are more hit-and-miss for me:

5 Vegas Gold (much better with some age)

CAO Gold (aged)

RP Connecticut

RP Vintage '99

Casa Torano

NUB Connecticut

* These are my top pics if you want the most awesomeness for the least coin

[And of course, if you're just looking for mild-medium cigars of any kind, there are plenty of Cameroons and even some Habano and Maduros. But if you can, look into the forbidden fruit as well -- some of the best mild-medium cigars are from an island south of Miami. Check out Hoyo de Monterrey in particular.]

.....try JOHN BULL and ALEC BRADLEY MAXX CONNECTICUT, both are very good. Also, the ANGELENOS 2010 Robusto they sell here is excellent, one of the best Connecticut wrapped cigars made.

.....Also look to the LA PERLA HABANA COBRE. After a few months it does taste much better.

.....I have a 5 pack of THE GRIFFINS 6.2x52 Toro arriving Friday. Will let you know how that smokes. And about 3 or 4 other Connecticut's that sell here I have yet to try, like NICKS STICKS, CUBAN BULLET, INDIAN TABAC LTD RESERVE.

....the PERDOMO ESV2002 is awesome as well. As good as any Connecticut wrapped cigar.

.....but the CHAMPAGNE does remain my favorite Connecticut wrapped cigar.

....Almost forgot CAO BLACK. AN excellent Connecticut cigar.

MOW Virture +1

Park Ave is mild, mild, mild, but a bit creamy (and cheap!) Augusto Reyes Epicur could be described exactly the same way

GH CT....meh kinda boring

CAO Black and Champagne never did anything for me

Others not in my regular rotation, but well worth a try - all are decent or better:

Oliva

RP CT - this was a very pleasant surprise - lots of flavor and creamy

Camacho CT - the only CT that ever kicked me in the nuts

La Aurora Preferidos is pretty darn good, but not $12-good

601 Blacks were stronger though

CT broadleaf wrap = good.

dats how I roll, er um, smoke what has been rolled.

🇨🇮

Oliva Connecticut Reserve

Damn good stick to add to the list.

Another connecticutt wrapped smoke that was full flavored was the JDN Series C, but alas they discontinued those about a year ago.

.....looking forward to the LA GLORIA ARTESANOS. Just smoked THE GRIFFINS 6.5x52 Connecticut Toro. Wears a TOP SHELF price tag here and at C.I. as far as Connecticut wrapped cigars. Like DIAMOND CROWN, BUTERA ROYAL VINTAGE, & DUNHILL, it smokes perfectly down to the nub. And like all of those, if offers nothing more then any JOHN BULL, 5 VEGAS GOLD, GURKHA PARK AVENUE, ROCKY PATEL or PERDOMO. I will enjoy the other 4 and NEVER WASTE MY MONEY AGAIN!!

.....and like previous posts say, the CAMACHO CONNECTICUT stands out. While still just medium in strength it has a nice mouth coating natural tobacco flavor. Have enjoyed three of the 6.25x54 Figurados gotten at my local. Can't find it anywhere on line for under $6per. OH WELL, like the equally good ANGELENOS 2010, it will remain a rare treat.

.....this CARLOS TORANO DOMINICO is interesting. More like a crisp, char'd tobacco flavor. Not much mouth coating spice like the GISPERT & NICK'S STICKS, but still basically on the same plain as the others. And the high side of mild. 🐴

.....Have 5 PERDOMO RESERVE CHAMPAGNE TORPEDO 7x54 resting in my box. Looks very nice surrounded by THE GRIFFINS, LOT 23, GISPERT, NICKS STICKS, EDGE LIGHT, ROCKY PATEL CONN, GURKHA SYMPHONY, OLIVA NUBS, PDR CLASSICO, LA PELRA HABANA COBRE, FUENTE CURLY-HEADS, and another one I have never tried, VIC SINCLAIR PRIMEROS, very nice an ample supply of fine look darkies in the next box, my two crowned blends being the CAMACHO TRIPLE MADURO 6x60, and PADRON MAGNUM 9x50, one awesome looking cigar.

.....HA HA HA. No, my meds are fine. Just got 290 cigars, my first big order in two months, delivered yesterday afternoon. Always chain smoke one every 4 hours for a few days and then settle back into normal one every 6 hours. Until my Cardiologist says otherwise, I am smoking whatever I can, as often as I can. Nothing else to do, why not do what I enjoy best, which is torching fine tasting tobacco of all kinds! In a few hours, I will have a PADRON 9x50 Magnum, already clipped and ready to be savored. Just finished of a FUENTE CURLY HEAD, a silky smooth, fine tasting Connecticut option.

.....also try my old favorite Connecticut option. They are both near medium and very good. First is CAMACHO'S BACCARAT, not overly bubble gum sweet the crappy PROFESSOR SILA. Perfect blend of mild burnt sweetness and a good tobacco flavor. The second is FUENTE'S MONTESINO, another mouth coating winner. BACCARAT is the number one selling premium cigar in the U.S., and for good reason. And MONTESINO has been a solid secondary FUENTE success for over a decade.

I'll second this one. I just smoked my first one last night, the corona, and have another waiting in the humi for tonight. I'm looking forward to smoking the second one because there were some flavors there that I really need to experience again to nail down. Very tasty smoke overall.
