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.

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.

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!

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

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. Under the marque of Vegas Robaina, the Unicos are particularly recommended; in December of last year, C.GARS Ltd provided me

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.

These are absolutely marvellous. A really pleasant long smoke. I love the square shape which is surprisingly easy to hold. They burn really well and have a great draw. I love the retro 70s looking packaging and paper wrappers. Really nice earthy taste and great chunky size - bigger than expected. If slightly cheaper they would be my regular daily smokes.
