Vegueros Mananitas Cigar - 1 Single

Got this in my October sub pack. IÂ’m not a massive fan of Cubans. Too much hype when we have Davidoff, Fuente, Gurkha, AVO & many moreÂ… but this cigar has turned my head a little more. Short, stout and gorgeous are my first thoughts. A clean wrapper, and I love the dark colour. A binder that is eye catching and jazzy. Plenty of smoke with a dark chocolate and nutty sweetness with a smell of cedar. What a smashing cigar for the price. It lasted over the estimated time for about 49 mins (And I always think I smoke too fast, guess IÂ’m wrong) ItÂ’s got me more interested in Cubans in particular and this very brand. My burn was wonky through out, nothing major, but as I always say, IÂ’m sometimes a sloppy lighter. But the flavour, the feel in the hand, the construction was out of this world and such a relaxing 40+ mins of pleasure. IÂ’d whole heartedly recommend any day of the week. Thank you, Georgina for another fantastic choice. And as always, Cgars packaged and delivered perfectly.

An excellent all-rounder , i didnt want it to end , was left in the humidor for a month before i decided to smoke it , draw , burn were excellent . For me it was a very easy going creamy smoke with a hint of peppery spice throughout . This is my new favourite and will purchase a few more for a consistency test . I smoked this with a few pints of Frankiskaner Hefe weissbier out in the sun with good company .

As a relative newbie, my perspective may not be as informed as others, however for other people just coming into cigar smoking, I would give this one a miss. Very peppery at the start and certainly mellowed towards the end. The final third was certainly the most enjoyable part, but at that point it was starting to smoke hot, which took away from the flavour a little. Earthy and spicy notes throughout which became more balanced as it progressed, however it needed multiple touch ups and I found the burn quite uneven. Started this off with spring water, but I changed to an Irish single malt which greatly enhanced the experience and this is where the cigar became a more enjoyable experience. A good 30 to 40 minute smoke. Not bad, but not great.

A great value Cuban for a budget price really enjoyed this one, lots of pepper and nutty notes perfect draw and burn all the way down! Will be ordering more.

Some of the best UK-bought cigars Ive smoked at that price range. Will be ordering quite a few more as they make a good, quick smoke. Distinctively peppery smoke, good burn, lots of smoke. The proverbial good stuff.
