Hey Gus,

As far as connies go, the montecristo white is good, but it’s relatively plain. You can probably get the same taste (or similar tastes) from the following:
- Illusione CT
- Griffins
- Oliva CT
- Brickhouse Double CT

However, if you want to try more interesting Connecticuts with more notable flavors, consider the following:
- My Fathers CT
- Padron Damaso
- Zino Platinum
- Arturo Fuente Hemingway Classic
- Perdomo Champagne

Good list by Huzza..
San Lotano connie is pretty good as well, but I’m no connie expert………probably smoke less than 20 a year.

Small correction, the Hemi Classic has a Cameroon wrapper, not Connecticut.

I would add the Fratello Oro to the suggestions.

Huzza has two great lists there. I think I can add two that are similar to the Monte in profile and price range (approximately)

- La Perla Habana White Pearl
- Macanudo Inspirdo White

Room 101 Johnny Tobacconaut I’ll throw in as something slightly different that you might enjoy exploring. It’s closer to the Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne…has a bit more oomph

Arturo Fuente Chateau Natural and Ashton Cabinet are a couple other good cigars with Connecticut Shade wrappers. Also, Macanudo Café Hyde Park is pretty decent and inexpensive.

Zino Platinum Scepter's 10er at tenski for $39. Probably cheapest you'll see them, ever. IMO, we'll worth it.
