Vegas Robaina Tobacco

[Colt45]

I recently read that Alejandro Robaina stated that the tobaccco from

Vegas Robaina is used for Cohiba and Partagas, and not for the cigars

that bear his name. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but .......... I am.

I thought it an interesting tidbit.

He means not exclusively. Plenty of VR leaf finds it's way to the VR line but it is not designated to exclusively go there.

I still remember how filthy he was when Habanos s.a launched VR Cigarettes without his permission. He is 100% about qualtity and for all his international travel he is most comfortable in the field and on his porch. A true gentleman and living legend.

Here is a good read about the man :-D There are also other articles on him if you scroll all the way down and search to the right.

I love the VR line of cigars. (To me) They seem to have a rather unique flavor that sets them apart from the rest.

I'd like to get my fingers on a farmie one day.

I've spent many enjoyable hours on that porch with him. He's a great man. A lot of the wrapper comes from his farm.

Those farm rolled cigars can be incredible! he gave me some curly tops that were outstanding!

Very true, they definitely have a unique taste. As well as the San Cristobal line.

I had my first VR - a unicos - over the weekend. Great cigar, no matter where

the tobacco came from!!

I just recieved a box of VR Unicos. Beautiful cigars to say the least. I have never smoked any of the VR line so I look forward to it. I'll put my thoughts of it up on the board as soon as I let 'em rest from their journey.

CIGARHead, I think you'll like them. I too had looked forward to this one, and it

did not disappoint. I don't have any "notes" on it, but it was very enjoyable.

I'll keep an eye out for your review. (see how long you can leave them!)
