"Kick Yo' Azz"
This is one funky looking stick. Bright red metallic label with gold and black accents. A rough, reddish hued Corojo wrapper with some big veins and soft spots aplenty. It's claims "hand built". If that implies the filler/binder as well then I can beleive it as this doesn't look machine made in the least. Somehow though the whole thing stays lit and delivers a potent mix of corojo with a sharp kick of Nicaraguan ligero. It reminds me a lot of the Famous-Smokes Nicaraguan Corojo. Very spicy, nutty with a bit of oak on the finish. The burn is all over the place but it lends it self to quick touch-ups with the torch lighter. They also require a good purge at about the halfway point.
Overall a very interesting and TASTY little firecracker of a cigar. I just wish VS's other products could be this enjoyable.

"Best Boh"
This is the best of the Bohemian line. A stout smoke with a mild flavor profile. The Seri55 line is still superior, but this line is still of a quality that most cigar companies charge much more for.

"All things considered...it was good"
My first experience with VS and while it was not "mind-blowing" as the company advertises, it was rather enjoyable nonetheless. The brazillian wrapper is an intriguing change that lends an added flavor that one can pause and relish, the untrimmed foot was novel and an added flair despite any minor inconveniences that accompany it. A very full-bodied smoke, a smooth draw, and just a hint of spice. I bought this on a whim while visiting Savannah, and while it was not the best cigar purchase I made there, it was not a disappointment either.

"Not the Worst Bohemian"
Bought a sampler box. This one was not the worst of them, but it was only average at best. Rough, veiny wrapper. A decent taste to start, but rapidly went to bland and stayed that way. Expected the exotic... got an average gar at best. Will not be a repeat in my humidor.

"Mowed Lawn"
the Serie 55 with a Brazilian wrapper was quite good. This cigar is dreadful. Well made by tastes like suburban grass from start to finish. Weird foot.

"WOW"
A very interesting looking stick. Nicely made with a biteable-off pig-tail cap. Just bite right off and you have yourself a perfectly cut cigar. The wrapper was an interesting lite-reddish-brown hue. It's aroma was almost perfumey. Very inticing indeed. I threw it in my humidor for three weeks before indulging in this specimen. My 25th b-day was the perfect time. I took the one that looked most attractive and juicy out of it's habitat into my waiting trembling hands. (I had won at auction a 5 pack for a mere 7 bucks-a steal of a deal). My CI catalog called this one "full-bodied" so I proceeded to bit off the pig-tail cap, which came off perfectly, no problems with the wrapper peeling off. It's flavours were a bit rough at first, but rounded itself nicely towards the 2nd quarter. Tasted spice, pepper, cedar, a hint of roasted mixed nuts, and just a tiny bit of oregano, or maybe it was citrus. Boy, what a buzzzzzzzzzz. Try this strong cigar all ye cigar smokers. It will satisfy your cravings for an interesting, exotic smoke. The wrapper is a Brazilian Corojo Cuban seed wrapper with an assortment of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobbacos inside. The only problem with this smoke was the thick vein on three of them, but hey, that's not too bad.

"great smoke"
After sitting in my humidor for about a month, I decided to give the Bohemian a try the other night. It is a unique and very beautiful cigar. I love how this thing looks. At first light, the cigar was really mellow, not bad but confusing. How could this wrapper and these leaves taste so light? As the cigar smokes, however, the flavor and my enjoyment of the cigar grew immensely. After each draw, I loved the cigar that much more. Only downside was mine burned and ashed very poorly. I assume this was an exception and not the rule with these. I will be trying another very soon.

"Good Stuff"
Excellent construction. Great size. Good, even draw. If this cigar wasn't so overpriced, I would smoke it regularly.

"hard to find but exceptionally good."
I dunno about the rest of you, but the most annoying thing about the bohemian line of VS is that they are so hard to find! An excellent cigar though and the wrapper is beautiful and very unique. The smoke is wonderful and if I recommend them highly.
