Vegueros anyone?

[Sia]

On the topic of Cheap & Cheerful, what does everyone think about Vegueros? I have recently acquired a few Tapados and  Entretiempos which I'm resting for a while before trying.

Heard Centrofinos was excellent but have not tried that one yet!

Excellent brand, premium tobacco, long filler. If you choose the right wrapper, it is very tasty. High strength, so it is not suitable for beginners.

They are alright as long as you keep your expectations low. They aren't great but not bad at all. I smoked the new CentroGordos and it was good, however a can of 16 cigars for $400 - that's a hard pass.

That's a beauty! What's the thing your cigar is resting on mate? I like it.

Tapado, my favorite vitola

I've had a few small tupperdors from when these were priced "cheaply" and been smoking them as they get 5-6 years and it's been really a surprise - had some fairly complex and very flavorful smokes. 👌 I'm a fan 😚💨

I enjoyed the Centrofinos!

Vegueros are really rolled to perfection even the first release all look the part. I haven't tried the new line, but the original ones were way too grassy tasting for me. Like smoking fresh lawn clippings.

I would like to try some of the new ones just based on looks.

You're right. They tend to have that vegetal/grassy taste in the beginning but if you rest them a bit that might change. I purchased a 4 count box of Entretiempos and another box of Tapados. I enjoyed both thoroughly; they're really priced well given the cost for other cubans currently.

When I first tried Vegueros Centrofinos, I bought a box of these cigars (JUN 22). Later, I bought a box of Entretiempos (MAY 23). I really like them. They've always had good traction so far. These are good cigars for the price I bought them for. I hope that Habanos will not raise prices, as was the case with other brands.

I like the Mananitas for a short smoke. Good flavors as long as they sit for a few years.
