...I just had to go by what I have been consuming massive quantities of right now.

I know my top three will always be ranked really high, but when I go on my "sweet & mild" kicks, Fuente 858s are pretty hard to top on my list...along with a Lot 23 and nice cup of coffee.

When I get a "sweet and mild" kick, I usually grab a cc. They're a good cup of coffee choice, too. Almost as good as an Oliva Blue Maduro.

Yeah, that's the path (or steep slope) I'm headed down now. I'm slowly increasing the CC population in my humi, and I have LOVED how they smoke with coffee...especially with a medium roast Kona Estate.

...I really need cheaper hobbies...

Which wrapper do you prefer on the Lot 23s?

Maduro...but I've nver actually tried the Connecticut, so I don't know if that's a preference or not.

I was just curious because you mentioned coffee. Typically, I like stronger sticks, so the Lot 23 maduro would be my preference for say, a golf smoke; but I've gained an appreciation for milder sticks (especially connies) as a morning smoke with coffee.

Yeah, I've taken that route for sure.

I feel like I really hit a nice flavor profile for me with a nice bold coffee with a flavorful stick that's not too powerful. At pretty much any other time I'm reaching for something with some punch to it.
