Vegas Robaina Unicos Cigar - 1 Single by Jason

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.

Villiger Export Round Cigar - Pack of 5 (5 cigars) by kirsty

A very pleasant mild smoke with a nice aroma, this along with the villiger export maduro are a huge cut above the rest of the machine made cigars available - if you like a stronger cigar try the maduro.

Villiger Export Pressed Maduro Cigar - Pack of 5 (5 cigars) by kirsty

These cigars really must be tried - the best machine made cigar I have ever smoked it has surprisingly complex flavours and for me it surpasses some hand rolled cigars. It has a rich chocolate and nutty flavours and is a great everyday smoke. A Great value quality smoke!

Vegas Robaina Unicos Cigar - 1 Single by Staff

Reviewed by Don Hanes - February 2003 Cigar 1 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

Vegas Robaina Famosos Cigar - 1 Single by Staff

Reviewed by Mark Dickenson (May 2001) As a general rule, cigars with larger ring gauges tend to be fuller flavoured (there is normally more ligero and less volado in the blend), smoke more smoothly and slowly, and heat less fast than those with small ring gauges. They also tend to be better made than the smaller ones (which are the sizes recently qualified apprentices start on). Cigars with small ring gauges have little or no ligero in the blend. Large ring gauge cigars are almost always the preferred choice –if there is no hurry- of connoisseurs or experienced cigar smokers -'The Cigar Companion: The Connoisseur's Guide, 3rd Edition', Anwer Bati, Simon Chase'The Cigar Companion: The Connoisseur's Guide, 3rd Edition', Anwer Bati, Simon Chase As a Hermoso #4 the Vegas Robaina Famosos join the distinguished company of the H.Upmann Connoisseurs #1, Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme, Romeo Exhibition #4, and Saint Luis Rey Regios, some of my favourite smokes.

Villiger Export Round Cigar - Pack of 5 (5 cigars) by Mark

These are fantastic! I have smoked a number of their pressed cigars which are also excellent, but these round ones do taste richer and are a smoother smoke and seem to last a little longer. I will be buying these exclusively from now on. They also produce wonderful amounts of beautiful, rich smoke and the ash looks lovely. A really great smoke. If only they were £5.00 a pack or on special offer, I would buy them by the bucketload as my daily smoke in between the more expensive, occasional luxury humidor cigars. I also love the packaging - a real 70s look to them.
