Anyone tried this one yet? My B&M got them in recently, but for $14 a stick, I want to know if they're worth the coin.

    I didn't care for it. Just nothing unique or interesting about it.

    If you're looking for a really good medium bodied Connie, I think the San Cristobal Elegancia is awesome.

    I think the Camacho Connie is great, but there are a few others that have hit the market recently that are killer... the Room 101 Connie (which has obvious similarities to the Camacho, given that they are made by Camacho), and the EP Carrillo New Wave Connecticut in particular that are awesome. It is a great time to be a fan of Medium bodied, dry flavored Connecticut shade.

    I really like the new San Cristobal as well

    Just want to be sure you are talking about the regular Camacho conny not the room 101 connie made by camacho..The reason I pose this question is the price point that your B&M is selling them at

    the Camacho Connecticut is great, but not for $14. for $7-9 is about right.

    yeah...$14 seems a bit high, not a bad stick though.

    I just picked up a couple Camacho Connie's for $7 apiece at the B&M a few weeks ago...they're great, but I prefer the Room 101 Connecticut.

    the room 101 connie is probably my favorite release of 2011.

    I wouldn't put it above the Undercrown for my taste preferences... but it's def top 3. The SL Connie is up there as well. Weird that I like those 2 connies that much, as I don't smoke connies but about 5% of the time...

    i have yet to try an undercrown. that may be better than the room 101 connie for me but i have yet to have the opportunity to try one.

    Matt, the Undercrown is fantastic! I was gifted one a couple weeks ago and had it last week. If I had more I'd definitely send a couple your way. As for the Room 101 Connie, I'm right there with you...it and the Undercrown are my favorite new releases of the year. It's too close to call which is on top!

    While on Room 101, what's your opinion on the Namakubi?
