Vegueros Mananitas Cigar - Pack of 4

I am pufging one right now and all i can say is it is a pepper bomb. An extremely well made stogie. Pergect actually. But i dont normally go for the spicy ones. After the first 10 mins it does cool down to a leathery cedery note. A great alternative to bolivar. Much more pepoer though. I like it but not a daily smoke im afraid.

Just smoked the second one of these. Too strong for me, with enough nicotine to stop a horse. I can see why others rave, though.

Yes . Enjoyed this small length cigar. Smooth. Will order again.

For the money, this is an exceptional cigar. Excellent build quality and draw, with no over/underpacked zones. Nice even burn requiring minimal touch-ups. The best thing about these is the full, distinct cuban flavours that are delivered at this price point. Not as complex as the H Upmann half coronas, a favourite of mine, but they don't need to be when they taste this good. I couldn't detect any ammonia or overly strong spice in these; however, they do become quite strong in terms of nicotine delivery after smoking past the label. I'll keep a couple in the humidor for a while as I don't doubt that they'll mellow over time.

This is an update to my previous review dated 05/11/16 where I stated that the first half of this cigar was a little too spicy for my taste. I'd bought 3 of these and smoked the first one almost immediately. The others I left in my humidor for another 2 months before trying again. It was worth the wait. They tasted just as Cgars describe them on this page. Certainly give the Montecristo Media Coronas a run for their money especially considering the price. I've uprated them to 5 STARS. I now must try the Entretiempos.
