Veguero Nananitas (FyRAW)

[Fsonicsmith]

OK, don't laugh. a) I only got hooked on Cuban cigars when the pandemic began and b) I rode 80 miles on my bike-I am a cyclist-and when I opened my Igloodor to find a quick easy stick as the sun was setting on a cold-ish Central Ohio day this is what I found.  I am new here but know that these are not considered fine on this Board. In my State (pun) this hit the spot with some Japanese whisky. So I had a really good ash going and then it started to go out. Rather than pull out my nice, new SD Dupont royal blue fade lighter I made the rookie mistake of blowing on the cigar to get it going and off went my 2 inch ash. OK, maybe it was an inch and half.

But was the Japanese whisky strong enough to knock the taste of a Vaguero out of your mouth? 

Sorry.  Couldn't help myself.

Ha! I don't think they are all that bad (obviously). That big glossy sister magazine to Wine Spectator (is it against the rules to mention the cigar magazine here?-I should re-review the forum rules but I myself have almost zero trust in it or the sister mag's wine ratings-they are nice for the pictures and occasional interview) rated them highly a couple years back. So given the price I thought I would give them a try. They are definitely well-constructed. I started out ordering box after box of Monty 2's and Partagas Serie D 4's. I have since branched out to just about every mark sold here. Right now Cohiba, Bolivar, and Trinidad are at the top of my wheelhouse. Cohiba-I feel silly even mentioning that they are at the top. On the one hand they are not THAT great and yet they always make me smile.
