V Centennial No. 1

Shaped like a Work of Art. Burn and construction good. Good ash. Medium bodied and nice flavor. moderately smooth. buzz factor: 7

I've always enjoyed a V Centennial. However this was the worst of the line. It was either a short panatela or a corona, so rate it as such. It had a sharp nutty-sweetness to it for the first half and the finish, but the middle tasted mostly like ash. The burn wasn't average as it tunneled several times and had to be touched up by my lighter. This cigar had been lost in my humidor for at least four year's. I can't say, I hope there's more.

I've smoked a box of these and I found them to be just to much of one thing...spice. About the only flavor I could taste was spice and some cinnamon. Tooooo much so for me and I like spicy cigars. Well the construction was excellent and the burn was great on every one in the box. Just not my cup of tea.

A pleasant morning or after small meal smoke. A beautiful Connecticut shade wrapper which burned well.
