Review Notes: Picked up a couple of these at a little cigar shop in Antigua. Beautiful chocolate-brown color which burned well and had a nice easy draw. The flavor started out like pencil lead then got slightly fruity towards the middle. Last part was kinda blaugh. There was no outrageous flavor that I could taste in this cigar. The Fonseca #1's I picked up in the same store were far better for a little better that half the cost.

Review Notes: all I can say is that the VR Unicos, the Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona and the Diplomaticos #2 are the golden cigar trio !

Review Notes: I picked this cigar for my 100th registered review, and it was certainly appropriate for the momentous (ha!) occasion. It had a wonderfully smooth flavor of coffee and mild spice with some leather and cream. It was truly an enjoyable smoke, one I hope to repeat long before I fire up another 100 cigars!

Review Notes: This has to be one of the best cigars made!! Burn is great. But the taste s of nuts and spice are fabulous. I prefer this over the Monty #2. Last third is so spicy. Has a long finish as well. had a bit of a tight draw at first but once I got it going it was fine. Time to order a box of these babies!!!!!

Review Notes: I’ve just started digging into another box of these April06 and have been smoking them every few months to see what aging does for them. All those delicious flavour and aromas are still there, but being a bit young it had a harsh edge over the old fellas I’ve had in the past, but I just picked out my fullest single malt (Ardbeg) and as I type this I’m almost burning my fingers. A lot like to compare these with the Monty2, personally I find the flavours of the Vagas more interesting, but to judge this relatively new torpedo against the best tells you what a gem this is.
