I smoked a Conny, and it was a nice morning smoke. Decent price point for a cigar that takes almost an hour (even for the 354).
But I smoked the Habano yesterday, and I must say I was surprised! It had a ton of flavor and was a pretty full bodied cigar. Now don't get me wrong, it's not a Serie R, JDN Antano, or anything of that nature. But I found the strength to be on par with the Oliva Serie V (It is my understanding that they share the same wrapper, although Oliva isn't publicizing that).

I had several customers grabbing them 'cause they "were looking for a good 30 minute smoke." When I told them to plan on about an hour or more, they just laughed, grabbed one and headed to the smoking lounge. An hour later I asked them how the 30 minute cigar was going. 90 minutes after torching them, they both bought a handful and headed out the door happy.
