Rushman Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Blog Post with Pics Initial impressions: Nice oily wrapper, good construction. Draw at cold is spot on. Aroma at cold is milk coffee. Opening: This is a young cigar and the initial burn is a bit uneven. Flavors are a milky coffee and slight Christmas spices. Very oily mouth feel and large volumes of smoke. First third: The uneven burn seems to have worked itself out. Strength at this point is slightly less than medium but should build nicely. Flavors are almost a caramel character with a slight spicy finish. Second third: For such a young cigar, this stick is coming it its own very nicely. Moving towards medium plus now, with definite coffee and cocoa flavors. Spiciness has subsided and left a creaminess in its absence. Final third: Once this cigar passed the first third, it has been a very good example of this marca and vitola. A very nice smoke. Slightly under its expected strength, at medium plus a bit now, but so creamy and coffee flavors. Conclusion: I smoked this happily all the way until my fingers burned. What an enjoyable young smoke. Dont have the box code handy, but this was from a mid 2011 box.
anacostiakat Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 I think this is possibly the premiere #2 currently. I really enjoyed the last box I had and am not normally a fan of the size.
riazp Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 i'm smoked a couple of these and I loved them, defenitly want to invest in a box soon to have them this summer.
zappaFREAK Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Have a current box of these and will surely be getting more!! Great cigar!
Dbone Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 One of my favorite, and the flavors you nailed it. Is this THE chocolate bomb? I believe it is. Good smoking to you, brother
bassman Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Smoking a "recently discovered" box from 2002. Lovely mellow cocoa flavor. Along with good batches of MC#2s, my favorite piramide.
cckandb24 Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Just got an 11 box and has had the best wrapper and construction out of the last 10 I have gotten but my thoughts was it needed some time. Not fantastic ROTT
thechenman Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Thanks to Bart the VR Unicos have become my favorite piramides...

Squarehead Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I received a box of the VR Unicos a couple of week ago.They look fantastic,just like painted(Oil on Canvas).I smoked one but this one had a bit of a burning issue.So I'm letting the others rest for some time.
Ishmael Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 I recently tried one out of a splits box, so I cant comment for sure on the box code, but I would guess 11. I too will be letting the other Unicos rest. The H.Up's were amazing though!
TWalker Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Rush, what a coincidence to read this review. When I dropped by your shop several evenings ago I hadn't seen this and it was only by chance that I picked one of these for our visit. And what an awesome smoke it was, too. Very smooth and deep. Even my wife was commenting on the smell of coffee and rich Cuban tobacco. She doesn't smoke cigars but I'm starting to think one of the reasons she doesn't mind when I do is that she secretly loves the smell of a fine cigar. That one cigar was the only chance I had all week to sit and relax like that. Thanks again for that, amigo. See you in April.
