Dang kuzi, bringing back memories of the 90's and all the strange alternative tunes. I haven't heard Beck for probably 10 years, hadn't even thought if his music until you sprung that one.
Great review as always Kuz! I'll have to pick up a few of those pretty soon. I had a Camacho about a week or so ago and it was a great smoke! It wasn't the SLR and I'm still not 100% sure which one it was. I posted about it a while back but never figured it out. It was good regardless!
Welcome to the club. I bought two of these and have smoked one. I haven't had mine as long as you have had yours. I probably won't smoke the second one for a long, long time. I actually liked the Partagas 150 much better. Try one if you can get your hands on them. For being a cigar that was rolled in 1994 with a wrapper from 1977 it still has a ton of taste. I have only had the regular VSG in the robusto size but I thuroughly enjoyed it.
I was thinking about these but at the price they are at decided to pass. I'm very happy with my wizards but also a little confused on why these weren't all that great. Great review kuzi none the less.
it wasnt a "bad" cigar, just very uncomplex and and unexciting.
That was about my thought on this cigar. I've tried it numerous times in different sizes, and it just never seemed to "pop". Like you said, not a bad cigar, just not all that great.
im not sure how it got such high marks when it was rated. then again, if i liked the nicaraguan taste better i might like this cigar a lot more. i mean i found the initial taste to be great. but the aftertaste was not that good at all. and the ending to the cigar was a bit strange too. within two puffs it went from good to damnineedtoputthisout. I was smoking this cigar with TheseFilthyHands. he has one to but it was a torp. his ended the same way.

I usually like the Nicaraguan taste, and this didn't do it for me...I too experienced some weird aftertaste after an initially promising start. Oh well, even 5 Vegas can't score a home run with all of them.
I have to say, I've tried one of these before and while I do enjoy the Nicaraguan taste, I did not love this cigar.
what was it about this that you didnt like?
I think it was a lack of compliment flavors. I remember it having a spice to it, but the lack of a balancing sweetness or woodiness wasn't there for me.
