Vegueros Mananitas Cigar - 1 Single
by PETER
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 .

Villiger Rio 6 Cigar - Pack of 5
by Nikolay
I have just tried them and I love the shape it is perfect for daily coffee smoke. But to me honest I am little bit disappointed from the taste of them and probably
I wont buy again as there are better tasting cheap alternatives. Yes I agree the taste is earthy - woodsy, even too earthy to my preferences.
Off topic. Thanks to CGars, good service as always.

My favourite affordable daily cigar, and I’ve tried loads. I personally feel that these are probably the best of the Villiger Export bunch. I’m a fairly slow smoker and so get 35-45 mins out of one of these. A good size for the price.
Medium-full, yet smooth flavour for me, comprised of quality tobacco.
Machine-made with a consistent draw.
Now these don’t need to be kept in a humidor, but they certainly benefit from it. Recommended.

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.

Great value for the price - Works as it should and does the job really well

First third was very bland, none of the tastes that other reviewers have mentioned. Picked up a little 2/3 in. Very harsh on the tongue 3/3.
Burn was even but very fast, ash fell off unexpectedly soon into my lap. Very light draw. Lots of bits of tobacco in my mouth.
Might benefit from more humidity, the one I tried was straight out the box.
Smoked it with a fairly strong Japanese whiskey, that may have been its downfall as the flavours may have been overpowered.
Not a real fan of the square shape in my mouth.
For the price they are a chunky little smoke and are easily accessable at supermarkets (got mine from Asda).
Fairly bland but not totally unpleasant. 2.5/5.
