Vegueros Mananitas Cigar - 1 Single
by Staff
This small cigar measuring 4” length and 46 ring gauge is, in my opinion a fantastic short full bodied cigar. Absolutely perfect for those short breaks during a cold winter.
In the first part you can find lots of strong leathery notes. The smooth and creamy full bodied taste has hints of spicy black pepper.
The second part is much milder in comparison to first. More creamy with lots of woody notes and hints of sweet, but full flavoured white pepper.
In the third part the strength comes back with fiery black pepper and hints of distinctive ginger. Creamy and spicy, a lovely combination.
This cigar is getting very popular in these cold days. A fresh ginger tea or a slightly peated Stalla Dhu Islay whisky is perfect to enhance the spicy flavours. Or, you could pair it with a lovely sweet Stalla Dhu Speyside for a more balanced experience.

I found the first half of this cigar a little too spicy for my taste however a few more weeks in the humidor may alter this. The second half was much more enjoyable. Construction, draw and burn were first rate. All in all a good alternative to the Montecristo and H. Uppmann half coronas.

A nice enough looking cigar. The flavours are obvious, pronounced but too distinct for me. There are plenty of other options in this price bracket that weave the flavours together in a much more complex and pleasant way. Draw was tightish and I had to abandon the stick earlier than expected as it was burning very hot indeed. More time needed in the humidor? Who knows. For me, my stick didn't match up to the price tag. I would try one again but I'm in no rush.

A beautiful milk chocolate colored, lightly shiny wrapper, with few coarse veins. This enviting pyramid had a spongy, fresh feel, with soft spots present near the head. Overall it appeared to be expertly rolled, and very well made. It was of medium weight in hand, it possessed a good light, and open airy draw. My first flavor impression was very light,somewhat complex tabacco taste. After 1/2" smoked, I found more satisfying, meaty, medium overtones, with a dry cocoa aftertaste. This cigar had a good burn, which produced a light/med. grey very flaky ash. The smoke was of floral properties, and was not offensive. Slight flavor and strength burst at the half way point, which developed into some orange peel notes, as well as bitter sweet chocolate flavor. As I approached the finish the flavors started to sour, with a ever so slight,minty, tongue tingling bite. This cigar smoked for 1 1/2 hours. Overall not a great cuban cigar experience. I have had these before, and the Fonseca Bin 27 port that I paired with it, seemed to overpower the c
