VR Famosos OMR JUL 14: TVR Weekend Review Comp

[Joker]

Trini nor VR form a main part of my cigar smoking regime, in fact only have Reyes and Famosos in stock.

This review comp is a good time as any to revisit the VR Famosos. 

Today was a scorcher of a day, and thankfully the evening has cooled down nicely. 

So, time to make a Negroni (thanks Prez for the recommendation) and have a go at reviewing the VR Famosos.

Pre-light draw - I get a subtle sweet hay flavour with slight resistance. Nice smooth Colorado wrapper.

 

1st third –  off the bat I’m getting burnt sugar / raisin toast flavours, nice.

Smooth, no harshness, the few years rest has done this stick well.

 

 

2nd third – Nutty flavours of almond / marzipan are now coming to the fore. Good volumes of smoke.

Last 3rd – I close my eyes to focus on the flavours, and strangely enough I’m getting the flavour profile of blue cheese - which I don’t mind at all.

Maybe I need another drink!!

Overall, the medium bodied, 75 min smoke has been very pleasant indeed.

Thanks for reading.

Like that ashtray tony! Is that a brick that’s been cut in half?

Thanks for the responses gents

Mus, the ashtray is a Bali classic, made from recycled trashed motorbikes ? Great for outside and comes in various sizes
