That's cool. How long he is going to be in Nicaragua? If he comes to the capital Mangua let me know. Plancensia factory is in another city calls Esteli. I am not going to be in Esteli for a while. Next week I am heading to Panama and Cuba for ten days. If you attest him as a cool guy then I wouldn't mind to meet him after I return from Cuba.

Rip I'm gonna change the subject for a minute. My friends cousin is in Nicaragua at the moment and is making some cigars with Nestor plascencia. Pretty cool if you ask me.
I'll see if I can find out details. I think he is back after thanksgiving but ill see what I can find out. Yeah he is a good guy.

I have a funny feeling that your friend's cousin will meet Rip whether you set it up or not. From the stories I've heard so far...well Kramer eventually had to run into Bob Sacamano, right?
That picture is friggin awesome... Talk about the perfect compliment to any cigar room... I love VR, cannot wait to have boxes of them over the next few years in different aging states.
+1 That's a beautiful pic. I want one of me like that.
Thanks for another great review, Rip. I haven't bought a box of VR yet, I've been trying to decide on which vitola to choose from. I know everyone talks highly of Don Alejandro but they are quite a bit more expensive than the rest of the line. It seems like the Unicos are very good and a better value. Budget is a factor for me so I have to be choosy about what I buy.

Thanks Daniel...I will try to get some cool posters from Havana. I heard they offer cool cigar posters from 1950s.

Thanks...I appreciate your kind words. Go for VR Unicos. It has at least 85% of Don Alejandro's flavors, aroma and other elements.

Rip I knew I would hate myself for reading this lol. But seriously that sounds freaking delicious!! I'm a big cc partagas fan and hate the Dominicans...well don't hate but find they are pretty one dimensional compared. This review reminds me I need to go on a hunt for some so I can age and smoke!! Thanks again for lighting a fire under my a$$ to go find some truley funominal sticks!!
Hi Lee, appreciate you kind words. Dominican Partagas are nothing compares to the Cubans except Partagas 150, 160, Decadas, Reserva lines but they comes with Cameroon wrapper so nothing to compare with Cuban Partagas. Ciban Partagas cigars are very complex, balanced, flavorful with long finish.

This was my favorite cigar of 2012 as well. I liked La Palina better than the Cohiba Corona Especiales if that is any comparison! This was truly a fantastic cigar! Great review as always! I'm gonna have to hunt down the 1896 you speak of.
Nice to see your review on these RIP. Smoked 3 of these to an itty bitty nub myself. Construction, burn and draw were nothing less than perfect on all 3. Great cigar.
Thanks Andrew. I appreciate for sending me the box. Indeed, it is a prefect cigar.
