Connies..

Last night I indulged myself by smoking two cigars. My excuse was the arrival of my new Blazer PB207 lighter...

One was a Consuegra. It appeared to be a No. 9 Rothschild after some Investigating. This cigar was surprisingly very tasty. After smoking it for about an hour and really enjoying it I decided I was going to go ahead and purchase a box for the price. The question is, which Connie is your favorite. JR Cigars seems to be sold out of many of their selection and I was just curious as to what you guys recommend. Also, if there are any other vendors that sell Connies that you use feel free to let me know.

My favs are the 73's, either EMS or Maduro, but I'd refer to the connie conversion list and buy the ones that are seconds to the main brands you typically enjoy.

#9 in maduro is my "go to" cigar

73 & 72 also very good

I smoke them OTT, but most people prefer to age them a long time

Number 9's, 16's and 17's are my favorites. I bought a bundle of 73's in natural and was really disappointed. Completely underfilled and soft.

You pay your money, you takes yer chances.
