Missing in Action: Vegueros

[Trent0341]

True... except the title inexplicably says "Nears Release"

[tmac77]

Rumors that new Vegueros have arrived in a Canadian LCDH.

Correct. there will be a tasting of these at the LCDH in Yorkville tomorrow evening. I will however not be there as there will be a certain Brazil Croatia match to watch

Bummer! Vegueros? Why?

[El Presidente]

For those attending let me know how the Vegueros pans out. I am not that interested in bringing in another SKU unless it has something to offer. I will leave it in your hands

Hey Rob getting back to you on the Vegueros. IMO a very harsh cigar that is not just down to it being young. Not worth spending any coin on them for myself but having said that there is a market for cigars at this price point. So if you have enough cheap customers coming by the shop that know nothing about smoking a decent cigar and simply want a change of pace from that Jose Piedra they normally buy they are yours for the taking.

I thought they were incredible. Remember? lol

My review of the cigar: should have thrown it at Bieber.

The little one I smoked today was really good. I hope consistency is good and if so, I plan on stocking a few

[oliverdst]

For sure I will give them a try.

I can feel a lot of prejudice (with reason).

Hoping it's a rebirth.

My take on my first of these;

At the right price (read: under $6 /stick) I liked the one petit robusto I had.

Just got an invite from my local B&M just outside Toronto. They are having a tasting on Thursday. I will pick up a few sticks and see what the fuss is all about. I doubt they will be better than my PSE2, PSP2 or PSD4 but will give them a try.

Completely different cigars, they serve a different purpose, to compare them with "premium" Partagas doesn't make sense…

I compared my one with a psd4 in our other hangout. Certainly not the same in terms of mouth feel, luxuriousness and richness, but close in terms of strength and pepper.

agreed. should be compared to marlborough lights
