I had the 5 Series Cameroon and Maduro both with about 8 months to a year and will say they were better then a lot of stuff ROTT. They werent going to get 90+ ratings but still enjoyable. BUT.... Big but there...... The Corojo was EFFING gross.... like real bad. I remember the Conn Yankee sucking as well. The Bamboo wasnt the worst either. Again... all these had over 8 months on them. I got them last fall and smoked them late this summer.
Does that mean we're not friends after I sent you that monstrous 70g VS...?
Fast forward to last night. I bought a sampler from c.com BOTL NectarCigar. This bundle included half a dozen VS modules. He spoke highly of them. Last night, before Monday Night Football, I was in the man cave fooling with web cams and murdersickles. Fired up a VS Double Maduro Churchill. Damn! What surprise! Creamy, flavorful, smooth, tight, perfect patient burn, tasty wrapper. And I usually don't go for maduros at all. Enjoyed the heck out of this stick for over an hour, was only halfway through, when Bearswatter calls me in for a computer honey-do, so I laid it on the bench. Time I got back, it was out. Relit poorly. Next half hour was a struggle trying to get it to settle back in smooth and creamy. By the time it burnt right my palate had been ruined, and it was burning unevenly. Could easily have gotten two hours fine enjoyment out of this thing if not interrupted. I am not saying it's AJ, but for a low cost daily it was good.
Nectar's sampler included a couple VS Series 55 Corojos which I will attack next. It may be that certain VS lines suck donkey dung while others do not. It may be that QC is very low so some sticks out of the same line suck skunk gland while others from that line don't.
