What's your favorite Connie?

Alright gents, so here's where I'm at - I've realized that one of the biggest things I miss the most from the States is a great, classic Connecticut wrapper - I'm talking about the creamy, nutty, great-with-coffee characteristics that no other wrapper can do as well.
Thing is, it's honestly been a couple years since I've had a good Connie (or one at all), so I'm a little out of touch. Now I have to order box/bundle quantity to justify the shipping from the States, but I'm not really sure what to go with. Weigh in?

Well, they're my favorite Conny anyway. Damn tasty stick, especially with coffee.
the only one that isnt:
the NUB connie is Connecticut seed grown in Nicaragua
and are we talking maduro as well? there are plenty of Connecticut broadleaf wrapped cigars that are maduro...
I was thinking true Connecticut-Shade-Grown when i read the title
not many True Connecticuts spring to mind, and of those that do few are what i consider my favorites:
Dunhill Aged Dominican.
Victor Sinclare Connecticut Yankee
Ashton Classic
Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur
San Lotano Oval Connecticut
Macanudo and Macanudo Gold
Perdomo Exhibicion Connecticut (i think)
and i cant seem to remember if the Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente Connecticut is actually connecticut grown.
i can pick my favorites on that list.... does that count?
even my favorite non-maduro "connecticut" cigar is not a true Connecticut grown leaf... Room 101 Connecticut. it has an Ecuadorian grown Connecticut seed.
Now, I might have to go smoke the HdM Excalibur in the humi to up this list count by one.

Those are my faves as far as true connies go. I am pretty sure the RP is, but I'm positive the Perdomo is a legit Connie.
I like San Lotano connies and also (for JD) 5 vegas gold. But they're both Ecuador. Still delicious and nutty though!
