Put that on my list of things never to try I have wondered if Cigars are intentionally going down an easier to produce mass market line to usher in a new group of casual smokers..

The visual with that review is priceless. Thanks Joe.

Thanks for the comments

Can't say I'm surprised - they should have just let that disaster of a marca RIP.

The Peugeot of Habanos?

[AndrewNR]

Wow.. We've gone from gorgeous jars to tins.. So these are like an unflavored Tatiana then??

[Bolismoker]

Not any Habanos I have no desire to ever smoke, looks like I just found one.

I may be worng but my impression is that Habanos want to introduce a brand to beginners, like Monte Open.

This ring has an appeal to the young smokers.

Always good to read your work Jose.

I sit here smokind a Vegueros no2 from 2000...full of floral/herbal flavours.

An excellent cigar, unique in many respects.

Far removed from the fat, flavourless rubbish that will dutifully follow the Open ranges.

Young smokers have plenty flavorful options to chose from already, now posers who hate the taste of smoke and want to smoke a fat tasteless cigar to show off are well served with the Eagle.

[IcedCanuck]

I think I might still pick up a single and give it a try...

It's about marketing and not flavour that I am talking about.

[thechenman]

Sorry to hear they are such a disappointment. Always hate it when great cigars get discontinued only to have mediocre to subpar cigars released.

Agree Oliver,

the newly released Vegueros Mananita I had was quite pleasant and, again, the band was liked for its "retro" ( Art Deco ) design. But taste & design is a battlefield ...

[johnhenry]

Has there been any more chatter on these?

I'm a "younger" smoker. That band has no real appeal to me. Looks like a cheap gimmick

[Fireant]

Hater's gonna hate. Have a few of the other sizes, been waiting to fire one up.
