V Centennial Robustos

inconsistent burn

A friend gave me one of these w/o a label and it was decent, perhaps this is yet another in a long line of inconsistent bargain smokes? Has some spice to it this time around.

I found this to be like most bundled and cheap cigars, inconsistent and a waste of time. You may be tempted to stock up on these for the price, but you can find better cigars for under 2 bucks that actually deliver flavor.

A very inexpensive long filler cigar. Usually can find for around 1-2 dollars. Has a smooth draw, mild-medium strength. A very good every day cigar.

got two wheels of 50 on c-bid for a song. not a bad cigar for the price (i paid about .45 each). decent flavor, but some tend to have burn problems. aging in a coolador will help.

Wasn't bad, decent cheap cigar.

I thank V Centennial for my second humidor. After I discovered bits of tobacco in my first humidor I found holes in my V's and after the holes I found bugs on the cedar lining of my humidor. Lasioderma serricorne, meet the freezer. That said, I actually think these aren't bad cigars, as long as the popping of beetle larvae doesn't bug ya. I keep them in my second-rate secondary humidor to protect the premiums, but for an everyday woodsy cheapo smoke, not bad. (Of course, lasioderma is not particular. It could happen to Opus. It could happen to Cohiba. But it didn't happen this way to me.)

"I've had a lot worse for a lot more" - a common refrain but an accurate one. This cigar needs a minimum of 6 months in the humidor before you light them up. Lots of smoke, flavourful and 'toasty' - a little sour towards the end.

This cigar looked look like it was a deep-fried turd. The tissue paper in the box looked like someone had used it after eating a bucket of KFC. The wrapper was about as oscuro as you can get. It was black! The taste was horrendous and had a strong burnt almost carbonized flavor about it. The aftertaste was bitter and I had to chunk the cigar after only a couple of puffs. Hands down the worst I have had.
