Tried my first Vegas Robaina Clasicos today. Sat on my balcony in the daily thunderstorm.

Stick was ok, bought it last week but not sure what age. First few draws were very harsh so wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy it.
Mellowed out though and the middle part was enjoyable. Nice easy draw, lots of smoke but burned very hot. Don't think I'll go out of my way to purchase another one for the time being.

Last time I was at JJ's 3 guys were all smoking VR's. One loved his, one was struggling with plugs and another said there was little flavour to it.

Take of that what you will. I suppose if you had 100 people smoking the same cigar you would get 100 opinions!

A brand of cigar I've not heard much about, but looks great in your photos.

Can't wait to grab a single or two of those!!

Mitch has them for 20 quid on his site. I'd say they're probably not worth that price.

With almost a decade of age on this bloody thing, it's incredibly harsh. Juan Lopez has this weird soapy texture that I'm not normally a fan of.
It was enjoyable and a different ride. But won't be traversed again - nor will I recommend it at anything besides French pricing

Thank you.
I know of the sponsor, but didn't know of Mitch.
Guess I do now.

Have you tried the inkas simon or just read the reviews or both.

[judders]

I tried an Inka and didn't think it was nearly as bad as the rep. But then I'm not known for my complex palate.

I just had HUHC and it was just ok. I had few before and for some reason they were a little bit better.
