I picked some cigars for the 1st time in a long while. I've been smoking what I have mostly due to budget reasons. I couldn't stand it anymore and had to drop some cash to try something new.
Picked up an OpusX, Tatuaje Corojo 2006, and an Ashton VSG, all new sticks for me.
Smoked the VSG and was underwhelmed. Hopefully the others are good.

I'm surprised about the VSG. They are one of the strongest before the el cobre. Maybe it was too green.
.
We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.

If you are on a budget, you might try finding a cheaper cigar.
Just a suggestion.
Maybe try a Oliva V, half the price of a VSG and every bit as good. The Double Robustos are in the $4 range.

VSG is one of the better cigars out there. IMHO it has the best aroma of any cigar out there. Not sure if I have ever had a bad VSG. Try the Illusion.

The VSG's are very good, but the blend has been trimmed down from the original blend. Not nearly as strong as when it first came out. Medium strength now, at best. Great aroma, though, typically.
style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #b9af9f"I bet you get a lot more satisfaction out of those other two.
