mazolaman Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 I've seen them knocking about,but never tried them. I'm on a bit of a mission to try some of the off the radar cigars out there. So I'm looking at some Vegeuros,and wondering if anyone has had any good or bad things to say about these. All advice appreciated.
bassman Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 The 01s are superb. 06 & 08 not so impressive to me. Perhaps these just need age to shine.
mash Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 I've got 2 boxes of '06 and love them. One of my favourite torps. Vegueros on the other hand are pretty bland.
anacostiakat Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Had two '07 boxes. Still have one. I prefer these to the Monte #2s.
Colt45 Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Somewhat embarrassingly, no. The only real reason for me has been having to make choices.
Wicky Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 I found the #2 to be a very good cigar. Plenty of tasty Upmann flavor. I wouldn't hesitate on a box of these. Haven't tried the Vegueros.
mazolaman Posted October 23, 2010 Author Posted October 23, 2010 I read the review in the cigar review section,which seemed to be a good review. It seems like you all have had good times with these. I will get some to leave alone for a while.(except one or two...) Thanks all!
Laxman Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 I love the upman #2's! It has become one of my favorite cigars. If you get a chance grab a box of hq or if your if you can find a psp box ****** it up. Have been a long time monte 2 smoker and as of late if I had to choose one or the other I would grab the upman.
steve047 Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 just finished 1 from 2004 and it was fantastic
hoyopr Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 I had one of Mash's 06 HU #2 and it was an excellent cigar.
Leopolis Semper Fidelis Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 I had some H. Upmann No. 2 from 2007. They were rather bland, so I ended up giving most away. If you like mild, feature-less cigars, then the Vegueros are for you.
geirw Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 For me the #2 is the one smoking best of the 08/09 upmanns I have tried. Go for it mate
riderpride Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 My favorite torp; currently going through a box from Nov 07. Comparing it to the rest of the line, I find it closer to the Mag 50 in flavour.
CanuckSARTech Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 I had an H. Upmann 2 years back, but I can't remember much about it, other than taking note that it obviously just didn't leave me over-enthused since I've had no follow up since. But, then again, the H. Upmann Magnum 46's have had one hell of a resurgence in the last few years, so they could have presumably tweaked others in the marca. I had a Vegueros once (I believe it was a corona or mareva), in a drunken stupor. I remember that it made me sick, since I inhaled the hell out of it just to try to get some presence from it (light hay???). Nothing to be found there, for me anyways.
mazolaman Posted October 25, 2010 Author Posted October 25, 2010 Interesting stuff,thanks. I think HSA has improved most stock recently,as demand has dropped off,makes sense really,if they are less stretched to fill the market.
