ETP JUN 16 Ramon Allones Specially Selected paired with a little Wellers Antique 107 Bourbon that my buddy waited in line for an hour to get a ticket to buy for me so very much appreciative of him for doing so. Awesome suprise and the RASS goes great with it.

Fonseca Cadetes SAO JUN 10 courtesy of @encephalization   Wasn’t expecting much from this little guy but it more than delivered on an array of enjoyable flavors.   Very nice surprise with this one; ultra smooth and plenty of variety to hold interest.   Thank you!

Vegas Robaina Short Robaina 2014 - Edición Regional Andorra SUE Jul 2014

How does a principality with a population of a little over 77000 residents and a size of 468 square kilometres (or 181 square miles) qualify for seven Regional Edition releases over the years? Two words...tax reasons. Andorra is bordered by France to the north and Spain to the South, but in the cigar world it seems a little larger.

The Vegas Robaina Short Robaina is significant for two reasons. One, it is the last Vegas Robaina Regional Edition release to date (although a 2014 release it actually went to market in 2015) and two, its dimensions of 42 ring gauge x 110 mm (or 4⅜ inches) in length means it is only one of seven perlas (40 rg x 102 mm), secretos (40 rg x 110 mm) or minutos (42 rg x 110 mm) released in a total of two hundred and eleven Regional Edition releases since 2005 thus far.

If you recall the recent Swiss VR Petit Unicos I reviewed, I categorised that cigar has having a core Vegas Robaina chocolate, lush tobacco, raisin or date-type sweetness, baking spice and floral notes. This VR Short Robaina was not like that at all. I would infer that the reason why this cigar smoked differently, flavour-wise, was due to its minuto size. It resembled more of a San Cristobal de La Habana in flavour, and even after 5-and-a-half years of age this cigar was full-bodied, especially in its chocolate and earthiness. Perhaps it had a hint of raisin-sweetness and some floral edges, but these were minimal in comparison to the two dominant aforementioned flavours.

It compelled me to smoke slowly. Usually for a minuto cigar I know that I will smoke it within 30 to 40 minutes. This Vegas Robaina Short Robaina took me somewhere in the vicinity of 50 to 55 minutes to complete. I think the reason for this was due to the strong finish on the draw, it simply lingered a lot longer on the palate than your average minuto.

I'm grateful to @Thirds for gifting me this cigar to review. It was a fun ride proving how different Regional Editions sharing the same marca (i.e. the 2012 Swiss Vegas Robaina Petit Unicos and 2014 Andorran Vegas Robaina Short Robaina) can truly be.

These are still to peppery for my palate. I personally won’t be taking this back out for another go within the next 5 years

LAT DIC 18 Regios on clearance. This was a beautiful box with excellent construction. And most importantly, smoking very well. Blows my mind that these aren’t as popular as let’s say a JLS2, which imo blows it out of the water.
