Davidoff 3x3 for the price. I loved the My Father connie release for Federal, and they just released it again this year as a standard line. Have one waiting to try, but have heard good things
^^^ these 2 fellas hit the nail on the head. 3x3 for the price, Angelenos if you can find them, and MF federal Connie is just straight up delish. Mow virtue after a nice nap is pretty legit too.

I feel you on the Federal Cigar Connie Sherm...it is my #1. The new MF CT if I am not mistaken uses a different filler and binder than the Federal but is still an enojoyble connie and cheaper than the MF Federal. Just my thoughts.
The Oliva Connecticut is still my favorite, but I've yet to try the MF. I may have to get one at the B&M next time I go. The Griffin's and AVO are right up there as well.
The Angelenos and AVO XO are my favorites. Also(and don't hate) Gurkha Beauty and Symphony are actually pretty satisfying as well. Good to see you back Hays.
MOW Virtue and AVO XO are in my regular connie rotation. I got a few Morro Castles pretty cheap a while back and enjoyed them. Nuttiest cigar I've had.
I would have to say the Avo Classic, (any Avo actually) and The Griffins. I bought a box of each this year and have ZERO left. These are cigars that I would never hesitate to buy in box quantity.
How about Perdomo 10th Champagne? Not sure if that's a "real" Connecticut or not.
I know the filler is all Nic, and I suspect the wrapper, while CT seed, is also grown there, but not sure. I do like this cigar; it's the only Perdomo on my regular smokes list. I didn't put it on my list because I don't get as much of the classic Connecticut flavor from it. Very good smoke, very interesting smoke. It's just not one that jumps to mind when I think creamy and nutty. Certainly has some cream, but there's more of a peppery than nutty flavor. It is good with coffee, though!
Hey gentlemen, thanks for all the great recommendations! Sorry I haven´t been able to pop in as much as I was intending - busy with the holidays, and now on vacation for the New Year so haven´t been on the PC as much. Still not sure what to go with, but my wife suggested an excellent idea for me to start ordering more stuff from Ccom (man do I have an awesome wife!), so if I can get that sorted out things will go easier.
Oliva CT Reserve or San Cristobal Elegancia. I do like the 3x3. And Avo Classic. Oh, so many.
All of these are great choices. The Oliva is solid, the elegancias are a truly unique Connie with what I'd describe as a slight citrus or floral note. Really good! AVO Classic and XO are my go to Connies that I always have.
I'd have to go with either the San Lotano Connecticut or the SL Oval Connecticut. Both are outstanding. Nothing like smoking one of these with a coffee on a nice spring morning.
First post, just wanted to say how good the Epoca was. I initially smoked it first outta my batch I just got from Cigar.com thinking it wouldnt be all that good.... I stand corrected!!
