Ashton cabinet selection

San Cristobal elegancia

Ashton phs natural <$3 per stick for the toro

*Edit* Sancho Panza glorioso

I smoked this yesterday but I didn't think it was a connecticut wrapper. It's not as light of a wrapper as some of the other connecticuts I have. Did some brand searching today and it is a connecticut wrapper. Very smooth creamy smoke.

Good morning smokes and a nice change of pace. I've got mostly med-full cigars but lately I really enjoy a good Connecticut shade wrapper. I need to get some more because I only have a few.

The one thing I may have to try is a conn corona. I don't think I've ever had one and from searching it looks like it's not a very common vitola. Maybe the mild flavors don't work in a small rg? Idk. The only two I found were the my father conn and new world conn.

Undercrown Shade..............the only Connie I ever liked enough to keep buying.
The Corona is the best vitola imo.

I like Zino, RM 101 connecticuit, Epoca, and Larranja.

But i like everything you listed up top there. haven't tried MF CONN and SL CONN.

Sometimes you feel like a connecticuit, some times you don't.

Not sure about creamy, since we all have different palates, but try the Blanco Liga Exclusiva de Familia Connecticut in Salomon.

It's a good cigar.

"Connecticut Cream Bomb" sounds like either the title of an adult movie, or a euphemism for a strange sex act. Herfing

+1 Tat Cabaiguan, San Lotano Elegancia, EPCarillo New Wave

Most Perdomo Naturals are good, and many are wallet friendly. The AJ Fernandez New World Conn is very good. La Palina Mr. Sam is great, little more oomph, but also pricier.
Same with Sindicato Symmetry, great but pricey.

Haven't seen them around much but a couple of years ago, my fave mild cream sticks were Boris 2011, The Griffins and the pricey Illusione Le Grand Classe.


(edit: the Sindicato is the Affinity, not the Symmetry)

Perdomo Habano Connecticut. When aged well, it's quite the experience. Creamy yet decent strength, and great complexity.

Just smoked a Cabaiguan from 2012. I didn't get the creaminess. It was really good though. Thanks to dkeage for the smoke. I believe it was won on a wager of some sort.

I agree with the Ashton Cabinet. That's my favorite go to when I'm in the mood for a smoother/creamy cigar. Great with some coffee in the morning

While I'm not sure that they are all the same wrapper. You are smoking Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapped cigars. There is a significant difference between shade grown and Ecuadorian Connecticut.
