Victor Sinclair: Series 55 Review
Has anyone tried these cigars? They sound pretty good and I was considering picking them up in this week's CI special but I've never had a VS cigar. I'll probably just go in on it with a buddy so we each get 12, but I figured I would check here first in case anyone had first hand experience.
Here's a link to the cigars. http://www.cigarsinternational.com/html/spec_wkly.asp |

Victor Sinclair Series 55 Robusto Maduro (5” x 50) Five Country Blend, Aged Five Years
Wrapper: Brazil Maduro Binder: Dominican Republic Olor Filler: Cameroon, Nicaraguan Ligero and Cuban Seed, Dominican Republic Olor and Criollo Presentation: Midnight black maduro wrapper, blue foil wrapped tip. $99.00 / 20 cigars. Flavor: Intoxicating flavor of chocolate fudge cake blended with exotic spices. Changes abruptly at 60% turning point to barnyard / rich organic blend of leather horse reigns, horse blanket, horse sweat, wet straw, layered somewhat oddly and seemingly inappropriately upon chocolate cake. Absolutely delightful from 100% to 60%. Still quite enjoyable from 60% to 20% (although less so than if it had retained its sweetish, chocolatey flavor throughout the smoke). Slightly harsh from 20% to butt. Smokability: Easy lighting, slow, even burning, moderately hard drawing. Maduro wrapped reduces majestically to powdery white ash. Good chompability. Not excessively juicy. Overall: Good / Very Good. B+
