Popular Post Jose_A_Rodriguez Posted August 5, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2017 Sampling my first Connie A. A bit of a tight draw with first cut, then opted for a larger cut almost immediately after initially lighting it up. Turned out to be the right decision. First 3rd Started off with cream coffee and cacao notes. The expected nuttiness was only faintly present. Oaky finish. Middle 3rd: Cream coffee still was quite pronounced complemented with emerging hints of hazelnut and vanilla. Molasses sweetness was also present. Orange peel on the finish. Final 3rd: Creaminess started to fade at the beginning of this third turning into medium-roasted coffee notes. Eucalyptus became noticeable on the finish. 93 Points. A smooth, creamy cigar that almost lasted two hours with only having to relight it once during the last third. As mentioned earlier, this is my first Connie A and lives up to my expectations of a medium body and strength. I'll sample another one before fully committing to a couple of boxes; admittedly, I'm truly delaying the Connie A purchase until replenishing my cigar budget. Definitely has the stuffing for mid to long-term aging. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I'm a fan of Upmann but have not yet had a Connie A. Might have to figure out how to get ahold of one in the near future. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLFIRST Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 This was the first cab I ever got. An OR SLB of Connie A's. Sadly, I smoked through them WAY TO FAST! I have now learned to not do this and hold on to my cigars. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wertman Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 So when you describe creamy. Do you mean as creamy as a Hoyo especial or Hoyo no 2? Just wonder how the cream plays a role in this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
