I really enjoy the Oliva Conn Reserve or the Fonseca 5-50 in the morning, but I think I may have to call the Montecristo White my new fav. Just a great all over smoke. Lots of connecticuts tend to just be super bland to me (like the RP Connecticut) but the White has just enough flavor while still being super smooth. This is my 4th one so I think I can confidently say the blend is just pretty darn good.

Bueller?

A couple that really caught my attention are the Pedro Martin gold and the EPC New Wave.

Both have great flavor, but with that Connecticut smoothness.

Also, the AB American Classic is a good AM smoke.

MC White is an excellent morning smoke. If you like 'em, stick with 'em. As long as you can buy in the <$5 range ... then they are a good value. Regular MSRP is a joke for these.
