Notes:

I figured I would give VSG another try. Again I was disappointed. It tunnelled, despite several attempts to keep it going. Couple all of this, with a taste that wasn't the best, and it's doesn't have a high value. It's a shame, but I feel like this cigar is overhyped.

Terrence, I have been smoking VSGs for years and they are still my favorite cigar, provided you are looking for a big abd bold cigar flavor. Back down the ring size to perhaps the Illusion (44) and give it another whirl. The Sorcerer is my favorite though you might want to sit down to smoke it! I find the taste the same from the first light to the end of the cigar - which usually burns my fingers! Sorry you have had the bad experience. What, if I may ask, is your favorite smoke. No, I have no connection to the Fuentes. ;-)

Aarrgghh Guy! Traditionally, my favorite has been the Ashton Corona. However, lately I've been trending a little bolder and stronger. My current favorite is the Rocky Patel Edge Off Color Toro Corojo.

I really like the VSGs. It has been the first cigar I ever smoked and it is still my favorite.

Aarrgghh Guy! I believe the first few cigars I had were Te-Amo's. I do get nostalgic every once in awhile.
