Fumadoro Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 As this box creeps closer to it's first year, I'm excited to see how it continues to mature. I came upon this box through our host, and it was rated PE. Though the wrappers may be a few shaded lighter than most would want, they are absolutely silky smooth and have a light sheen of oil. Upon opening the box, you are greeted with an amazingly beautiful bouquet, which is one of my favorite aspects of this box. To me this cigar in it's current state slowly changes around the final third mark. The first two-thirds are creamy with flavors of toasted bread, delicate hints of baking spices, and the occasional retrohale of citrus rind which is somewhat reminisant of HdM. Then, around the final third mark, the cigar increases in body into the medium range and brings forth bolder, rounded tobacco flavors to add to the profile. I really appreciate the slow evolution in the smoking experience of this cigar. I hope with a few more months to years that the unique flavors will be even more pronounced and some addiotional complexity develops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a close fight for me to choose a winner between the Connie 1 and Connie A. Both are outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2fly Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 This was a pleasant surprise. Bought a box having never had one. Did so based on the trusted reviews here. It did not disappoint in the least. I have put them down and will have one in another 6 months to see how they are progressing. Looking forward to this!
