Cohiba007 Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Can someone please give me some insight on the Connie 1? How does it compare to the 46. I love 46,50 and even the 48s when they were around. How does the Connie compare?
gigabyte056 Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 The connie 1 is very good after a couple of years (4 for me) as is the mag50 but is more herby than cocoa. younger samples i've had were bland and not enjoyable. the 46 and 48 are more approachable as less time is needed for them to shine.
ZinZan Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 I like it even when its young. Havent had any more than 4 years but really good consistent smoke
Guybrush Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 The Connaisseur No.1 is too mild for my taste. I enjoy the No.2 and the Royal Robusto a lot. Would love to hear about yet another fuller bodied H. Upmann.
mbrody Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 I have some ripping good Connie 1 that can hold a candle to Mag46, but just have a different flavor profile. Well worth it and a great Upman. If you like recent Mag 46 (since 08), have prez find you a HQ box and enjoy!
mk05 Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Mbrody. Why don't you include some into the box pass for cohiba007? Hehehe Personally, the pre99 Conn #1 were the shznit. They were like smoking a vanilla bean. I have heard the 08 boxes are pretty good, with recent ones being dogsht. I went through the recent '10s about 4 months back and they were terrible. I did not see potential.
ramon_cojones Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 I've smoked a few aged connie 1s and didn't care for them at all.
shrink Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 I've smoked quite a few Connies from 2004 on, but my 2008's are by far and away the best. A go-to smoke for me. Rich and flavorful from day one, they continue to improve.
winelover Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 I picked up a 5 year old box and they were some of the best smokes I've had. Just bursting with complexity and flavours. I've smoked a few aged connie 1s and didn't care for them at all. I guess CCs are inconsistent and by nature can be hit and miss.
mbrody Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Just lit an 08 Connie 1 and it is a MONSTER cigar and I'm just in the first third.
Guybrush Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Are the 2008 Connaisseur No.1 fuller bodied compared to Magnum 46?
