Webbo Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 The famosos and clasicos i had were mediocre at best, can live without them. I bought a box of HQ famosos from our host earlier this year and genuinely I can not imagine anyone trying one of these and not being massively impressed. I also have had a bad experience or 2 with different marca that has put me off so I understand how it can happen but I know that when the stars align VR's can be a truly wonderful cigar. I will be gutted if we are seeing their demise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1979 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I am in the RE camp, I have enjoyed most of them, but haven't been a huge fan of the regular production stuff. I have smoked mostly fresh though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CigarmanTim Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Horrible news if true - My absolute favourite stick is the VR Unicos Love the Unicos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzopyrene Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Seeing as Habanos seems to be dead set on getting rid of all their "cigar " people I wouldnt be surprised to see this brand disappear from a business perspective. I cant imagine that its a top seller, and while may be appreciated by "cigar" people....doesnt really do much for the bottom line. Just my opinion. May become one of those lines you just see for regionals too...who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk05 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 This is rather another confirmation that the government is finally acknowledging the failed past Cubatabaco efforts, I think. You look at it from historical perspective, how the - then - new guard of '90s introduced Trinidad, VR, and San Cristobal (am I missing any others). For a decade, those people tried to develop those marcas ie humidors and books, and were in denial that they failed. Raul looks to socialist renewal in '09, Trinidad is scaled back, losing the T and Robusto Extra, officials and guard who were paid off and corrupt were fired, HSA management replaced, now VR is being scaled back. I'm just surprised SC hasn't been touched yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino30 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 What a travesty. VR are fantastic - all of them. I've enjoyed their regular production stuff immensely and lately turned to their regionals, which I equally enjoy.
