Review Notes: The VS Vintage Select (all sizes) is definitely NOT a stick that should fall off the shelf or go from the mailbox directly into your mouth! The "greenies" (I bought a mess of them a year ago) are disappointing. Draw was tight, burn was touchy, and flavor was, well, "green!" Ahhh.. But let them sleep for a year, properly humidified, and the transformation is truly remarkable! Burn evens out, draw becomes tolerable, and the the flavor becomes a delicious blend of chocolate and nuts. This is my perfect "Summertime-Daytime" cigar! Body and flavor mate perfectly with a frosty-cold dark beer on a hazy-lazy Sunday. My recommendation? Buy a box... Store them today... Then allow yourself to begin enjoying the true character of these cigars a year from today!

Review Notes: This is an nice looking box-pressed torpedo. Draw was slightly tight at first, but loosened up with gentle massaging toward the cap. It is mild but flavorful - I tasted chocolate and coffee, with an occasional hint of spice. After lighting, it smoothed out after the first half inch and yeilded mild rich smoke. One of my favorites, and a real bargain at $2.00 per stick.

Review Notes: I tried these based on the reviews on this site, and was extremely disappointed. This cigar, though it is cheap in price, does not have any flavor WHATSOEVER. The wrapper leaf looks dried out, almost like cardboard.., no sheen of oil on it at all. The construction was weired with respect to the box press, more like overpressed. I was drawn in by the pricing, but I guess you get what you pay for, and in this case, not much.

Review Notes: Pancake pressed with a dry, but not unattractive wrapper. Starts winey and cardboardy. These off-flavors never exactly disappear, though they're mitigated by vanilla, cocoa and maybe even marshmallow. Then every time I think it's growing on me, a tannic, papery harshness returns on the finish. The last third is unsmokeable. These things are just plain weird, kind of a bummer at any price. I haven't given up yet, but I'm getting close. For now, I have to side with those who call this one "grossly overrated."

Review Notes: nice burn,so so appearance, no flavor
