Vegueros Mananitas Cigar - 1 Single by Chris

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.

Vegueros Mananitas Cigar - 1 Single by Staff

This small cigar 4" x 46 is in my personal opinion a fantastic short full bodied cigar, perfect for this short breaks this cold winter. In the first part you can find lots of strong leathery notes from the beginning, smooth and creamy full body taste with hints of black pepper. The second part is mildest in comparison with the first part, more creamy and lots of woody notes and hints of sweet but full flavour white pepper. In the third part the strength is coming back with spicy black pepper and hints of ginger notes. Creamy and spicy. Lovely combination. This cigar is getting popular in this cold days, a fresh ginger tea or a slightly peated Stalla dhu Islay whisky is perfect to enhance this spicy flavours, or you can have a lovely sweet Stalla dhu Speyside for a more balanced experience.

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!

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
