Sometimes connecticut wrappers don't taste good to me. There are mild maduros such as the ashton, also the CAO Gold maduro is a mild maduro.

I think the Chateau Real is a flavorful smoke along with the perdomo cabinet reserve champage.

Another thing I have noticed is some people think they should smoke big dark cigars to be manly. I personally do not discriminate. A Good cigar is a good cigar. I will smoke a 601 green as quickly as I will smoke an ashton double magnum. Both tasty in their own way.
