Review Notes: This is not the best VS has to offer, but it is standard fare for his line. In other words it is pretty darn good and inexpensive. Burn, construction and the look of these cigars are top notch. Where people differ are the flavor preferneces. I tend to find VS to be a bit more advanced than many smokers care to admit. Spicy and a tendancy to be strong (what a newb would call bitter) are hallmarks. If you see a low rating, it is either a new smoker or a poorly stored cigar.
