I still remember the day I was at a BBQ and a friend handed me a VegaFina. I was fairly new to cigars at the time and had never heard of the brand. That one cigar changed things rather quickly. VegaFina went straight onto my favourites list and, having worked my way through a frankly irresponsible number of them since, I am yet to have a bad one.
The 1998 is a particularly good example of why I rate the brand so highly. The draw is excellent, the burn behaves itself and the flavour is rich, woody and slightly sweet without ever becoming heavy. It produces a lovely amount of smoke and has enough character to keep you interested without demanding your full concentration like some overexcited dinner guest.
For me this cigar absolutely loves a V cut. It opens the draw beautifully and seems to let the sweeter and woodier flavours come through without making things too loose.
And of course, 1998 is widely regarded by absolutely nobody with any scientific authority as roughly the peak of human civilisation, so naming a cigar after it was always going to set expectations rather high

Let’s be honest, every now and then you need to pull out a cigar that makes people stop in their tracks. The Andalusian Bull is exactly that cigar.
It is big, imposing and has serious presence. The sort of cigar that gives you instant Don energy before you have even lit it. Thankfully, it is not all theatre. It is also a bloody good smoke.
The flavour is excellent throughout. I did have to relight mine once near the beginning after resting it for too long, but that was entirely my fault rather than the cigar’s.
For this one I would definitely recommend a straight cut. Given the torpedo shape, I found a punch or V cut felt a little uncomfortable, whereas a straight cut gave me a perfect, comfortable draw with just the right amount of resistance.
What really makes it interesting is the shape. Starting wide and gradually narrowing, the flavour seems to become more concentrated as you move through it, giving the smoke a real sense of progression. Despite the lengthy smoking time, you will still be disappointed when it finally comes to an end.

This has to be one of my favourite cigars of all time. Absolutely incredible in every respect, from the draw and construction to the flavour from start to finish.
I particularly love the unusual shape. It makes the whole experience more interesting because the cigar seems to strengthen and soften in flavour as you work your way through it, so it never becomes predictable. The draw is superb and the flavours are rich, balanced and genuinely memorable.
This is one of those cigars I would happily recommend without hesitation. If there were one cigar I thought every cigar smoker should try at least once, this would be very high on the list. An exceptional smoke.

I bought these looking for a reliable daily cigar and they have turned out to be absolutely brilliant.
The tasting notes are very accurate, with plenty of flavour and enough development to keep things interesting from start to finish. Mine consistently last around 30 to 40 minutes without needing to be relit, which makes them excellent value.
I also love that they come already punch cut. I have actually found my favourite way to smoke them is to stick with the punch for the first half, then V cut the cigar halfway through. It completely changes the draw and opens up a whole new dimension of flavour for the second half.
For an everyday go to cigar, I really cannot fault these. Great flavour, very convenient, sensibly priced and now firmly in my regular rotation.

What a lovely little star these are, full of flavour for such a midget gem.
Kept them in my pocket so I could have them anytime, whilst waiting for my daughter and her dog at the vets, waiting for friends before a meal.
Takes a couple of mins and their done which is just right for a quick day time puff.

I’d heard plenty about Dutch cigars but had never actually tried one. At just £4, I thought this was either going to be a brilliant little discovery or absolutely dreadful. Very pleased to say it was the former.
A genuinely enjoyable smoke with a lovely flavour. I personally found it sweet and woody, which suited my palate perfectly, and it lasted around 15 minutes. It also produced a surprisingly generous amount of smoke, making it feel like I was smoking something much bigger and more robust.
Excellent value for money, thoroughly enjoyable and absolutely recommended. I’ll definitely be buying these again.
