I won a 5'er from Cbid, and put these in the humi and forgot about them till I decided to leave one of each and put 4 in the cooler. I was looking for a light stick for after a light dinner. I grabbed it, along with a Mt. Dew and the newest Maxim mag. I went to the garage(my usual spot) and used the punch for this one. It was a 5 1/2 X 50 Robusto. It had a sexy tan wrapper and a good feel to it. I toasted, and lit. The draw was amazing, probably one of the best drawing sticks I have smoked. It billowed smoke every toke. The first 3-4 puffs were leading me to think this was a "nasty" smoke. Well I was wrong indeed. It mellowed out into a nice creamy, nutty, slight leathery taste, with almost a "buttery" flavor. I continued reading my Maxim, drooling over Fergie's pics, and got to the 1/2 mark and the taste was still nice and mellow. It kind of reminded me of a HDM Excalibur 1066 camroon. The smoke never got hot. I got to about 1 1/2 inches left and layed her down to sleep. It would be a great early morning smoke or if you want something light.

I can see a box of these in my future!!!
 
Nothing but pure sexiness....

I had one of these about a year ago and I remember that it was rather good. My tastes have since gone a lot more towards maddies, but I think this is a solid connecticut.

Nice little review.
 
Man I want to try the RP Connecticut. You described a perfect cigar for me. Appropriate you mention the HDM Excalibur because it has been on my want to try list for a long time as well.
 
Great review. I really enjoy cigars with that 'buttery' flavor and happen to have a RP Connecticut chillin in the humidor right now. Looking forward to lighting it up.

I don't know about that Fergie pic though, she looks a little tore up, but she does have those legs.
