Vega Talanga Tercio

Okay, so you can't expect too much for a dollar smoke--NOT!
Picked up these from CI, and I wasn't expecting to be impressed, but this is a nice cigar and for $1, I would have to say you'd be hard-pressed to find a better smoke for that small amount of money. It is as good as many $3 cigars (real price--not MSRP). You can buy a mazo of 20 for a twenty dollar bill--a good everyday smoke with a medium-full flavor. Nice white ash and good burn. For a buck this has a value rating of 10 in my book--

I bought several fivers of these back in the day when cigar auctions were new. Well worth the price then and even better now. I don't see these anymore but the ones I have aged nicely. I can't believe it's been 2 1/2 years since I last reviewed these. Time flies. Smooth and spicy with a med-full Honduran flavor. A little under filled, it tunnels and requires some re-lights.

The softness of this rough looking stick is a little weird, but it doesn’t seem to affect the draw or the burn. The smoke is very smooth, almost creamy in texture, but the flavor is of various shades of earth... minerals, after a couple inches it turns musky, and the last transition is slightly woody. The aroma is a typical rich Honduran. It’s an easy smoking cigar, but complex. I can’t compare it to anything — this cigar produces flavors outside the standard spectrum, I think.

Except MMMMMMM

Pigtail head and shaggy foot, sounds like a blind date I had once. Good, solid Honduran at a reasonable price. Will only get better with age. If you enjoy Honduran tobacco with med-full strength give these a try.

A pigtail cap & an uncut, shaggy foot. The wrapper is a deep red. Kinda ugly. The pre-light flavor has a distinctly peppery tone. Medium to full bodied. Very tasty, with a natural sweetness to the palate & some barnyard in the finish. There are some unusual, but pleasant flavors. 🙂

decent price for a midbodied smoke. Easy to find in those weird palm bundles and they do have a damn good taste to em as well. They look a little silly with the pigtail and rough foot, butthe smoke is much better than the packaging in this case. This one has been flyin under the radar.

The band looks cheap but the cigar is great.

The "rough edge" look of this cigar, I admit, got me interested in it. The burn and draw were great, no problems. The boquet was a little different. The flavor had definite depth. For this price, I'll be grabbing a few for the 'dor.
