CT Wrapper Fans and Haters

[SoCal gunner]

ROLF

Some of the best smokes I've had were CTs, including a Cabaiguan.

I go for fuller bodied smokes too, most of the time. Probably because I subconsciously think a fuller smoke is more bang for my buck. But, a CT done right is hard to beat. Even cheat CTs like a CAO Gold and Alec Bradley American can knock your socks off. I'm looking to try the Charter Oak CT next, but am overflowing with stuff I got on CBid and have no space.

So interesting that you named the Cabaiguan - I tried one years ago and didn't think enough of it to have one ever again. Then, this year in the Tat Advent Calendar, I had one and it blew my socks off.

I also like Perdomo CTs and what Saka has done with CT wrappers. Lastly I'll throw out La Aurora, but I'm sure there's more.

I wasn't a CT fan at first either. Then I smoked the JDN Cabinetta & the My Father CT and gained a different perspective. Then I had a Virtue and gained more appreciation for them.
Still prefer the fuller smokes, but can thoroughly enjoy a CT.

Didn't realize the Cabinetta was CT. All JDNs I've had were very good. Definitely need to get my hands on one now.

The MF CT really showed me CT doesn't mean bitch ass cigars. That was CT-tasty and had a nice strength

The 1st 2/3rds is CT wrapped, the last 1/3rd is habano. And IMO the Cabinetta & MF CT are very similar.

Well that whole "find one you like" is what I hear about Gurkha all the time and he is King Gurkha....

I do enjoy Connies every once in a while and the Charter Oak is a great one. Joya and Perdomo make some great ones as well. The problem I have with them is that those wrappers are so thin I always get more blow outs and splits with Connies than anything else.

Agree about the wrapper splitting. I find Connies are very fussy about rh. Haven't had any problems at 65 however.

Yep, sock-blowing capacity with Cabaiguan. But, I do have to confess, after smoking the one that blew my socks off I purchased 2 boxes - none were good. Not sure what happened.

I think alot of the time it's the humidity when smoking - I can't do them on the golf course at all

Which of the Sombremesas are sweet tipped - the Brulee or the Brulee Blue? Remember hearing something about one being sweetened and one not, and it may or may not have been officially put out as sweetened.

Try the New World CT!
I recall having one and it was...
...memorable.

I had one somewhat recently and didn't really care for it. Will give it another shot. Initially it was good. Probably 1/2 way it became a mess, tastewise.
