I’m interested to see what gets posted here.
Not a Connie fan but the JDN Uno, Sobremesa Blue and Perdomo Champagne are my usual suspects.
Tatuaje is making quite a few now also my friend.
A lot of the Connecticut shade tobacco is grown an hour or so away in the Connecticut River valley (hence the name) in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and southern Vermont. I've driven by some the farms on the back roads to Springfield but never stopped in to visit. I don't even know if they do visits or tours. It would be neat to look into though.
Zino Platinum Scepter
Johnny tobacconaut
La colmena
Oliva conn reserve
Man o war virtue is spicy but good
La Palina classic Connecticut.
The Rosado is very good too.
Ashton Cabinet
Cohiba Connecticut
Macanudo Cafe Hyde Park

Bucky, The harvest is really something to see. There are hundreds of old tractors with 40 foot custom rack trailers loaded with hanging tobacco plants headed from the fields to the barns then circling back for another load. I drive by the fields all the time and sometimes just stop to take in the sight of the tobacco before harvest, it really is a beautiful thing.
The San Lotano connie is good as well
My Father Connecticut …………a little more oomph than a typical connie, which is why I like em.

This is great news. I think I’ve got a fiver of both of those. I’ve never tried either but they’re coming up soon. I bought everything on the list you put on the Gurkha thread. I also got some of the LFD Cab Camaroon that Z recommended. They’re all in storage. I’ve got a lot of other stuff to smoke first and I figure a few months in storage won’t do them any harm.

LFD makes a great Connie as well BTW…
^ Thanks, King. I’ll definitely keep that on my radar. Any thoughts on the Aurora brand in general?
Used to smoke them ( some of their Perferidos) many years ago……..solid cigar.
They sort of fell off my radar……found other stuff I liked more for the same, or less coin.
