"Poorly made overpriced cigar"

When I cut it, I noticed that the end was hard to cut (with a very expensive sharp cutter). Looking at the cut end the tobacco leaves were packed so tightly that the end looked like wood. I've never seen this before in any cigar. I slightly squeezed the cigar up and down and it seemed that the end 1 inch (near the foot) was very hard, obviously packed way too tight. I lit the cigar figuring it would draw like crap and sure enough it did. I made another cut about 1/8" in to no avail. Finally I used my pipe tool to poke into the cigar in several places to get it to draw ok. Even with this it was only ok, and there was really nothing exceptional about this cigar. Some may say that I may have purchased one bad one in the bunch, but for the price I paid there is no excuse - this is why these makers have Quality Control. Do yourself a favor and spend your hard earned money on something better! less

For what the asking price is for that cigar, May I suggest you buy a box of Cuban Diplamaticos#2, Montecristo #2,Bolivar Belicoso Fino or Upman Magnum 50. Because the VSG isn't worth the money. less

This cigar was perfect right to the knuckles! It started with a perfect draw. Some nice nutty and leather flavors came out right away and I thought I tasted a little coffee flavor there (although I was drinking espresso, so don't count on that being there when you smoke one). This was a real smooth and enjoyable smoke from start to finish. Very consistent flavor throughout and an even burn. Too bad this cigar is so expensive (about $10 for a Tres Mystique in the shop - save a couple of bucks and buy it at this site!). It's what you'd expect from a premium cigar. It won't let you down. Just make sure you bring your American Express. less

"Full throttle experience - sweet"

This is the Ashton VSG tobacco and it's head-of-the class stuff, deep and complex, tasting well-aged right out of the box. After lighting, but before the full girth of the 60 ring part of this stick gets going, there's a great spicy-complex flavor that hints about what is coming. You keep herfing... the full volume of the cigar gets going... wham! A huge, lush flavor -- the best of what the VSG line has to offer -- sucker-punches you. This isn't a dark/strong flavor, it's just rich and meaty without being heavy. You keep herfing, and that richness gets more focused, like the shape of the stick -- at this point, like a torpedo of sorts -- stronger, spicier, kicks like a mule. You can smoke one of these in a half-hour and feel like you've been out relaxing for three hours. More than most sticks, the shape of this stog shows off the tobacco. Who should smoke this cigar? Not for newbies, because it could be overpowering, but for anyone who wants to experience a jolt from an amazing line of cigars: this is a damn fun cigar to smoke. less

My son kept asking me why it kept going out. Yep, couldn't keep it lit. I may try it again sometime down the road but these are quite pricey so ...maybe not...I'm trying to think if there was anything about this cigar to make me want to give it another try. I'm hoping I just got a hold of a bad one. less

I usually don't smoke them all the way to the end, but this one I can't put down until I'm burning my fingertips and lips. I save these cigars for when the day is perfect and I'm with family and friends at a BBQ. less
