Victor Sinclair Serie 55 Green Grand Reserve Churchill

I got a good deal off of CD for a Victor Sinclair sampler - seemed extraordinarily given the 7+ rankings and while I'm not blown away - pretty happy with the deal. This gar has a nice peppery taste with notes of smooth sweetness and other complexities throughout...mine was a bit veiny and i had very mild problems with the flow and have been using my drill gun lately , especially, on a bomb , like this gar - and all seemed to work out -- enjoyed the final corona sized end - the most. great deal for the $$ and as good as many $4-5 stogies.

This was my first sun grown experience, and it made me a sun grown lover. The flavor and aroma are truly unique, rich, a bit sweet, mellow, otherwise hard to describe. I thoroughly enjoyed this cigar. A tip for BWJ : test the draw before lighting up, and if it is stiff, try running a 3/32 drill a couple of inches in through the cut or punch you've made in the cap. 9 times out of 10 this improves the draw for the whole cigar. I suspect it has something to do with additional compression at the cap end when the cigar is rolled and the cap closed up. If it works for you too, you might even end up liking 8 inchers.

This sun grown stick looks ok, but it needed to much attention ut went out on me a couple of times, but the flavor was very interesting it was earthy with hints of coffee and sweet but it turn a litle bit bitter toward the end..overall an ok smoke if u like that earthy flavor

It's been a couple years since I last reviewed this large sun grown stick. It wasn't quite as spicy as I remember and the last third was somewhat bitter. However, for the price this is a gorgeous cigar that is well built and attractive. I didn't experience the draw difficulties that plagued three of the last four raters. I''ll shut up and just let my rating numbers speak for themselves.

This wasn’t too bad. Interesting taste that continued throughout the smoke. Spicy, earthy, sweet… with a very tight draw which is a real problem with an 8 inch cigar. This time VS, I had the time just couldn’t get enough smoke from the stick to make it really enjoyable. To damn big! Also kinda ugly…pretty veiny. Nothing externally unraveled though so wrap construction issues were minimum. I did like the taste but will seek out (at the right price) a Robusto size smoke. These 8 inch beasts are too much work.

This is a dang good tasting smoke, it's just too long. Mine had a bit of a tight draw and the length just made it worse. I had to keep puffing it to keep it lit. Aside from that it is one peppery and spicy smoke With decent over all construction.

Get ready for two hour woody...er and nutty cigar. Medium and unique as a sun grown should be. If you are not used to a sun grown, or are an inexperienced smoker, you may be a bit put off by the in-your-face flavors. Still, it is a v. good cigar.

The look of this gar was very rough. The draw was so tight it was impossible to smoke. Then when I did finally manage a few puffs, the thing started to burn straight down the side and fast too. The few puffs I did get were smooth though like the taste but I had to actually throw this one out.

I like this smoke a lot. Better yet the price on this wonderful smoke on C-Bid is great about 2.50 a stick in 5 packs, what a deal. Great construction with a good burn and ash and great flavor. This is a strong and long smoke though so set aside 2 hours for it. The corojo wrapper provides lots of spice and peppery taste to the flavor too. This is one i'll keep the humi from now on. Try em you'll like em.

If you like a spicey cigar.....MAMA! The first couple of inches were the strongest, maybe even too strong (if that's possible). It numbed the tip of my tongue. I might have tasted a bit of clove. Unfortuately I smoked this on an empty stomach, which rumbled as I puffed. It mellowed a little as I went on, but still plenty of spice and flavor. More spice that a Padron by far. A good cigar to go with a beer or two. Well constructed and attractive too.

Wrapper was a bit rough, but the stick is solid. Burn was straight and true. Flavor is full, with peppery bite and spicy. A bit lightheaded at the end, so don't have an empty stomach before this baby.

This is one great cigar. 2 hour cigar with the taste of the best. Who's sleeping on the job. Better be ready for a good buzz and a little of the cuban smoking experience. WOW!

Excellent Cigar, medium to full body, flavorfull. Remained consistent throught. Godd smoking experience.

although I like the corojo wrapped giant better, if you have the time to smoke it, it is a very good cigar. Cigar should have wider distribution
