Connecticut Cigars

[pdgray.uk]

Before I discovered cigars I spent over 4 years living in Connecticut (Darien) while working in NYC.

I am still extremely fond of the place.

I would now like to try some CT cigars. (I have never smoked an non-Cuban cigar! - lucky me). Could anyone recommended some decent ones to try, and give me some hints on where to source them?

Thanks.
Paul.

At this point and time to the best of my knowlage there are no cigars being produced in Connecticut! However if its connecticut wrapper you are refering to,Olivia has a new Conni wrapper cigar and Gran Habano also have a wonderful Conni. wrapped stogie. Both as are most are on the liter side of medium but both are wonderful tasting profiled cigars. Usually cost $5 and upward.
(I have never smoked a non-Cuban cigar! - lucky me). Being you have never smoked NC cigars these cigars for me pair well with coffee in the AM and rum and cokes in the PM.And if U find that U enjoy NC cigars after U've smoked a couple Connies then also try the Cameroon wrapper its an experience you will enjoy.:smile:

I really enjoy the EO Brands 601 Connecticut (Black label). It is not your typical connie. It has some power!

Matt - can you source those (EOs Black Label) in the UK?

I've really grown to love conneticuts, Gran Habano connecticuts are nice, probably the first non-cuban to make me want to buy a box of em!

Luckily I have about 5-8 conneticuts in the humi to plow through which I will save for when i want to have a light smoke http://i35.tinypic.com/imnxxz.gif
