I used to love a Connie in the morning, and since I hadn't had one in a really long time I decided to grab one with the morning coffee.
It's still an O.K. stick, but it just didn't do it for me like it used to. The whole time I was smoking it I kept thinking, man, I wish this was a Party Short... :smt022
Think I'll save the rest of the ones I have for yardwork and such.

It is a sad day when we realize that a stick we used to cherish is now just a mediocre smoke.

I have some 9m's that are over a year old. Guess I should break one out and try it. I've always enjoyed them, if they're aged some, but it's been a while. Maybe my tastes have changed too.

Yup, sad but true.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't puke, and I did smoke the majority of it. It just wasn't the tasty stick I remembered.

I've never actually had a connie, but after all this talk I think I'll pick up a bundle or two. The #9 maddies are pretty much the standard, right? I've also heard talk about like 72s or 73s, but mostly the #9 mads.

Those are the perfect yard gar for sure some can be quite good.

I had a aged Connie 9 maddie last week and it was nice smooth and creamy but just don't have that twang. I also have some Old Fashioned #3 maddies which it sure seems to me are the same cigar. They can be bought even cheaper than the Connies.

Ok for all you guys that are getting bored with the Connies, you can just go ahead and send them my way. I will be sure and give them the attention that I'm sure they are longing for!! :smt033

I have the same problem. Connies just don't seem to do it for me any more.

finally tried one two years ago. yuck!
last year someone sent me an aged one, I'm going to sit on it for another year or two and smoke it to see what all the fuss is about.
but you know what they say "you can't polish a turd..."

Tyler said it...Everybody is talking about #72 and #73! Well here's your chance to bitch about them (all maddies from 01 including the number #30) now that you have the chance to try them all! :smt065 :smt063
By the way, not all are bitter. The RA is from 98 and the Q is from 04(best yard gar yet). :smt079

Now Gene, WTF dude??? If you'll slowly scan back up to my post, I wasn't bitching or even wanting to bitch about those pleasures that are commonly mistaken for finely aged cubans!!! I was just letting everyone know if they were getting bored with their old yard gar standard, to just pass em my way and I would gladly smoke em up. After all, I still like em!! :smt033
You getting bored with em bro?? So what am I supposed to do now, start bitchin!!!:mrgreen:
