But hey like what you smoke and smoke what you like.
    I have seen it noted that it's the same and also that it's a re-blend. Everyone seems to have a differing opinion. But according to the director of marketing for Camacho the Connecticut and the Triple are the only 2 that were NOT re-blended

    Thanks! Maybe I should have let the new triple rest longer. I chalked it up to the blend because it wasn't harsh or anything, just tasted funny

    Keep in mind that while it may not have been "reblended", they're using different crops than they were a few years ago when the labels changed. So it's not the same cigar as it once was, even if the "blend" didn't change. Personally, I liked these several years ago, I do not now. Part of that is the change in my own palate, but I do not think they are as good as they used to be either.

    @Hardheaded if your B&M has old-label ones, definitely pick some up. A few years of downtime may have smoothed the profile a bit, but probably still well worth the purchase if you like the profile.
