El Presidente Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I know many of you will be devastated that the three new 2013 Vegueros releases have not yet materialised. Mananitas, Tapados, Entretiempos...........oh where are you If our Havana insiders have any news....let us know. Have any been produced? Has anyone seen one? or was it all a big night out on the rum by the marketing team.....only to wake up a week later to the madness .....and hoping it all just goes quietly away 1
CaptainQuintero Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I'm surprised nothing at all has leaked out at all. I haven't seen a single thing across the net since the festival releases/give always Maybe the success of the Quintero favoritos and RG perla has made them satisfied with the state of the cheap and cheerful catalogue, or made them decide to expand those lines instead eg the new Quintero petit Quintero? It's not even as if expectations split opinions like with the new Cohiba EL which created a lot of buzz. No one simply seemed to care, I don't think I ever saw one strong opinion one way or the other. Or they are having trouble with the Delorian and getting back to the 70's to source the biscuit tins!
oliverdst Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 A German LCDH shows them in the website (including prices) but they are not available yet. I heard that HU half corona (5 tins) would be discontinued due to metal issues só I guessed Vegueros was following the same way. Well, this morning I received an email from a vendor saying they are avalaible again so maybe the metal problem is not true.
Strada Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 When they were release at the festival, we got a bunch of pre-release banded mananitas, I reviewed them here. At the beginning, we heard it was a packaging problem but then we didn't hear anything else lol... I think the could potentially sell well. The Favoritos proved that but let's see if they ever come out!
Smallclub Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 If our Havana insiders have any news....let us know. Have any been produced? Has anyone seen one? They were reviewed in the 2014 Havanoscope (by l'Amateur de Cigare), then I guess "some" cigars were produced...
Skyfall Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Upon learning the Veguero's aren't available yet via phone call from Rob......
polarbear Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I could use some new biscut tins for the pantry... I'll prob give one a go
Maplepie Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I could use some new biscut tins for the pantry.. biscuit tins? swear they used only recycled SARDINE tins!! Cuba being Cuba?
straizor Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 a source told me that they would come in april this year. it was also on CA website. they still have some days left until april is over, or else it was an april fools joke. i kinda have the feeling that its gonna be the same story with the torreon from SCDH. they will magically appear, with no notice in advance.

Sure they both will.
Smallclub Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 they still have some days left until april is over, or else it was an april fools joke. you must use a different calendar…
Smallclub Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 i kinda have the feeling that its gonna be the same story with the torreon from SCDH. they will magically appear, with no notice in advance. Sure they both will. Both? The Torreon jar was released months ago…
sengjc Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 It was a market research ploy. They wanted to gauge the public interest. Since the idea did not seem to have floated, everyone's moved on to work on the next big idea: Guantanamera Cristales En Cedros - now available in real crystal glass tubes wrapped in cedar.
oliverdst Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Both? The Torreon jar was released months ago April and Torreon... They both WILL appear.
Drguano Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Guantanamera Cristales En Cedros - now available in real crystal glass tubes wrapped in cedar. They wrap the glass tubes in cedar?
garbandz Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 "They wrap the glass tubes in cedar? " Yes,from inside............
straizor Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 you must use a different calendar… i guess i use the same, but i can't read it
liuzzi Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 a source told me that they would come in april this year. it was also on CA website. they still have some days left until april is over, or else it was an april fools joke. i kinda have the feeling that its gonna be the same story with the torreon from SCDH. they will magically appear, with no notice in advance. I saw torreons available in many shops in Havana in February, my local LCDH also has few, no sign of Vegueros though
straizor Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 the torreons came out late last year, but was supposed to drop in 2012.
Ryan Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 On Friday night I decided to try one of these again. It had been over a year since my last. This was one I received at the Habanos festival last year. Quite a few around then but I haven't seen any sign of the tins yet either. Not much of a pre-light aroma. Nice looking cigar, the draw was very good. As for flavours, not a whole lot to write about. The first was was quite harsh, still very young-tasting. Ammonia on the nose and little else. I don't know if some people call that "spice", I don't. In the second half there was some sweetness but really nothing particularly interesting. Generally boring. I remember seeing an Italian price list for these over a year ago, from what I remember they were less than €100 for a box of 16, so they will be on the cheap side. However, for recent cheap releases, the Quintero Favorito is a much better buy going on that example. Vegueros Tapado
oliverdst Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Rumors that new Vegueros have arrived in a Canadian LCDH.
