Anybody know if and how CA scored the new Vegueros? I'm asking because the Entretiempos reminds me of the Prensado a little bit..(but better)

Good cigar but nothing special.

My personal belief is: CA Cigar score = amount of advertising $$$$ = I don't give a hoot what they say.

Of course a few of the NCs are smart about this. Spend some money at CA. Get a hold of some good leaves and make some good (sometimes great) cigars. Get highly ranked on CA's yearly ranking then proceed to dilute and change the blend.

Again, just my opinion.

Not the best NC but not the worst either. The shop owner needs to smoke another as they are utterly confused. This tastes NOTHING like a 1926 Padron of even close. They are inconsistant in construction with nearly every stick Ive had have soft spots at different intervals. Burn is always a problem as well. Flavor profile, pepper, wood, earth. If you close your eyes and wish you might get a hint of leather.

I would have a hard time arguing that.

Good cigar yes, Padron good no. Ones I had all had burn issues as well.
