Cigar Weekly

Recently, I have been smoking more and more habanos. Actually, exclusively habanos for the last two weeks. It just seemed that every domestic I tried sucked bad. Last night, I was headed in to work for somebody from 11p-7a. I had about a 40 minute drive, so I fired up a VSG Tres Mystique, a domestic I bought from Raybo. I had looked at it several times this week, pissed at myself for buying a $7 domestic when I could have bought a $7 cuban. From the first puff, a big silly smile stretched across my face. This thing had a wonderful flavor. And it wasn't good because it "tasted like a cuban". It didn't taste like a cuban at all. It had it's own unique flavor that was such a toasted pine nut, rich cocoa combination I thought I was cruising through a forest of chocolate Christmas trees. It was heavenly and the amazing thing is it stayed that way down to the nub, never getting hot or flat. I've had a couple domestics that were good for the first few puffs, but none recently that stayed so smooth throughout. This was a blissful cigar that will keep me hanging on to a select few domestics, for now anyway.

Wow, thanks for the review! I am planing to smoke of these tonight at 12:30am when I go to walk my dog. I hope the one I have compares to the review you just gave. Now I am definitely psyched!

Very tasty!

I really enjoy all the VSGs, thanks for the review.

This is the best size in the line. But shhhh, keep that secret!

The best IMO is the Enchantment followed by the Tres Mystique. The Torp is pretty good as well... Good choice...

Thanks for the comment, jb. Before I fell off the face of the known world, the VSG's were one of the cigars I saved for "special" occasions. Haven't had one in more than two years now. Maybe I should check 'em out again.

VSG's are very good

Love the Tres Mystique. I used to be hooked on the Robustos until I tried these. I'm with Herb on these tasty little sticks.
