Review Notes: I'm putting this cigar in the torpedo catagory, this cigar has a chisle tip and a tapered foot. This is a work of art, a beautiful shape to have in hand. The wrapper is a bit thick but it burns perfect. This is a lush and flavorfull smoke, all the tobacco is aged a full 5 years. I'm picking up coffee an semi-sweet chocolate flavors along with some spice and leather, an exl. mix. The flavors fade in and out and make for an interesting cigar. I have found that a lot of V.S. cigars are average at best, but this blend is outstanding, a great cigar. I bought a 10-pack of 5 different blends and this is the best by far, a truly great cigar. The only place I can find them is at C.I.

Review Notes: i was pleasantly surprised! It was a better than plain good...at $1.15 ea i'm totally pleased. my lips didn't stain...but of course bad things can happen even with expensive 'gars. i was a tobacco grower for years and i'm here to tell you making consistent, aromatic, prime leaf is an art form at it's peak. If i get a cigar like this that burns well, smells good, changes character some to be interesting, doesn't go out...and under $2 ea, i think it's a pretty good smoke.

Review Notes: I disagree with the last review. I don't know if VS has changed the cigar, or what, but that didn't match my experience at all. Wrapper wasn't dyed, didn't stain my lips or fingers, and smoke was plentiful and spicy without being harsh, construction was solid, draw was prefect. Definitely no 'dog rocket'. I got it in a sampler of 22 at an average price of $1.60, not the $8+ others mentioned. Even the full box at CI is only $99 (out of stock), and that's probably the top end of what it's really worth. If you can catch them for anything under $3 you've got a pretty decent value. I did have some burn issues that I had to correct, but I've only had them in the cooler for less than a week.

Review Notes: This cigar is a disgrace to the industry. 1. The wrapper is not maduro, but dyed black. 2. The tobacco used is second rate garbage. 3. I wouldn't pay $2.00 for this over-hyped second rate cigar. Boring, bitter and messy, this cigar dyed my lips,teeth and fingers. The cigar smoking public is alot smarter today than 10 years ago, "cigar boom" antics will not fly today. Victor better get serious.

Review Notes: This would be a 10, except you have to get lucky to find it for a good price. I got mine on C-bid, so managed a good deal. Everything about this cigar is flawless. The look, feel, aroma and burn were unblemished. Although 8 bucks is not really THAT bad a price, I always balk at money up in smoke. However, this is one of those times where you forget about the pricetag three puffs into this deep aromatic beauty. If you are a new or old cigar smoker, you owe it to yourself to try a few of these.
