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.

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.

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

Love the Alec Bradley American. Bought one at the local shop and loved it enough to buy a box. Great smokes and haven't had any trouble yet, but only smoked a few out of the box so far, so we'll see...
I friggin love cigars

You mean I could've been annoying you this whole time about those CTs???!!! Start hitting the "What NC are you smoking" thread, my man.
Good to know another degenerate Bidding Bum is in our mix. Picked up some CAO Golds and AB American Classics recently, myself.

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.
