Vegueros Especiales No.1

[Alwayslit]

What are everyones thoughts on these as compared to the other thin RG's out there. Thanks.

I've only ever had one and it was quite good!

It had some age but I have no idea how much. A mild smoke with good flavors and plenty of Cuban twang.

I personally don't like them. Too mild and not a lot going on with them.

and plenty of Cuban twang.

For the life of me, I still don't know what anyone means by this.

To me it is an underlying flavor that all CCs I've smoked seem to have. It is more of a tanginess that is hard for me to describe.

I've never had anything from this brand. It's probably due to the stigma that comes along with it.

That's just it, I don't find that at all. A Monte taste totally different from a cohiba, which is different from partagas. I just think that the twang makes no sense to me. Bolivars are tangy but they are certainly different from all other cc's. To me if they are all different, how can they all have "that twang"???

While I agree a Monte, Partagas and Cohiba all taste different there is an aftertaste, a smell, a hint that I pick up that seems to be specific to cigars from Cuba. Heck, a Partagas Presidente doesn't taste like a PSD4. Every Cuban I have smoked seems to have the same hint almost like they came from the same farm, accept for the Monte Open Regata. That stick had such a mild flavor I could barely pick up anything off of that one.



Sorry I took this thread off subject Alwayslit. I do somewhat agree with e-man, the Vegueros is mild and pretty one-dimentional but the consistent flavors that were there did appeal to me although I don't have a lot of experience with this marca since I've only smoked one.

Issues....no problem. I don't know about the twang, but opening a box you always get that distinctive smell.

Although I am a fan of the rg, I am not a fan of the Vegueros #1. This cigar has to be smoked relatively fresh to gain any appreciation for the tobacco, otherwise it goes from mild to boring. They do a have a vegetal/grassy taste ROTT, which can be pleasant in the right circumstance, but if you want that flavor seek out a decidedly different mareva, the SP Non-Plus.
Hard to recommend these to anyone.

Enjoy your cigars,
