AB Connecticut Gordo
"Disappointed"
I have long enjoyed gordo sized cigars from Alec Bradley, namely those in the American Classic and American Sun Grown lines; however, these are not comparable. The larger ring gauge allows for more stem in the filler, and therefore a lot of problems with burn, consistency, and draw. I have yet to get one to stay lit past the first half inch, before tunneling and highly uneven burn sets in.
Because of this, I am unable to get a full draw off of the stick, and cannot begin to evaluate taste and flavor profile. Alec Bradley needs to correct this flaw in production, otherwise this stick is a complete disappointment, and waste of space in the humidor, as it cannot be enjoyed.

"Pleasantly surprised"
Beautiful brown wrapper, good draw, felt a little loosely packed but had no issues, Fairly mild in the first 1/3, but picks up strength through the middle, and finished medium . Traditional flavoring with a bit of spice toward the end. No burn issues, nice solid grey ash. Easy enough for a novice but still interesting for the experienced.

"Good Introduction for a Newbie"
Draw was rather tight. Light-to-medium body with medium Honduran tobacco flavors and a nutty aftertaste. Creamy on the palate with no bitterness or sourness whatsoever. Would make a good introductory cigars for newbies. The stick I received from Famous showed three green spots on the wrapper. 86-87+ points could be 89 points if they fix the tight draw.

"Good Smoke"
Smooth, fine taste, with a good draw. Decidedly more mild than medium. Well constructed but burn became a little uneven near the end. Be warned: the wrapper is very fragile. I like this cigar!

"Smooth, mild nice draw"
Nice cigar, definitely more on the mild side. Easy draw. Well made, packed filler. Wrapper was rather thin. Like tissue paper thin.
Nice mild vanilla almost creme brûlée mid way through.
Like Coors Light. Mild, nothing mind blowing but decent.

"Magnificent"
Wonderful taste, one of the best draws ever. More mild than medium. Hint of spice about 1/4 down. Other than that, just mild tobacco and nutty flavour. Alec Bradley must just have some great tobacco right now because they are top of the food chain in my opinion, lots of great (and relatively affordable) sticks out there.

"Smooth"
Very smooth, fine taste, and a good cigar for first timers. I had my friend smoke this one for his first, and it had him back down at the local cigar shop wanting more. Don't pass this one up.

"Worth an audition"
Robusto, v-cut, well made, excellent burn, mild taste significantly influenced by beautiful split-free wrapper, refreshing and non-tiring, best suited to the cigarman with the skill to manage a cigar of this type, has not earned spot in humidor but not without merit. Reference favorites DPG Blue, Cain Daytona, Perdomo Lot 23 CT, AB ACB, Mac Cafe.

"Not bad"
Not a bad cigar. Mild to medium cigar with creamy white smoke. Tastes of nuts and earth. Worth a try.

"Good for Beginners"
As a new cigar smoker, this one was just ok for me. It was mild, smooth, burned well, and had a decent taste. Good as a basic, everyday cigar.
