Victor Sinclair 55 Series - Who has tried it and what were your feelings?

rdnstn

I was thinking about picking up some of these but wanted some opinions first. I know Kuzi liked them but said they had some burn issues. Anyone else want to chime in?

I've tried the 55series in a perfecto, and didn't like em at all...ended up giving all away

The only one I liked was the Sungrown the rest left me wanting to smoke something else about a third of the way through.. They all seemed a bit harsh, these were shortys by the way.. perhaps the full size are better.

yeah... the vitola i had was the maduro toro. i mean.. i gave it an 8.3. i dont remember it being harsh and i didnt make a note of that in my catalog. iduno maybe it was my cigar on that day... or maybe it was your cigar on your day. either way i could be ok with another.

Agreed I will always be willing to give another shot to all cigars.. You can't condemn on one sampling

Has anybody tried his 10th Anniversario? The one with the Dominican wrapper.

Well, I guess I will pass on this purchase then, at least until I can try a couple for myself to see how I like them.

This is just as bad as the 55. I had the original release from the RTDA 2006, and just smoked it about a month ago. Don't waste your money. Even with two years of age, it was acrid, and grassy, and had a stale finish.

Too late. I already ordered some.
