El Presidente Posted April 28, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted April 28, 2014 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strada Posted April 28, 2014 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallclub Posted April 29, 2014 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sengjc Posted May 21, 2014 Share 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.

Ryan Posted May 26, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
