That was one of the funniest reviews I have ever read.

When you've recovered, check out some of the online retailers like Cigars International, Famous Smoke Shop, Holts, etc. You can find some decent handmade bundle cigars for probably not much more than you paid for that GyV. If you poke around the forum there's a thread (or ten) here recommending some good budget cigars.

Geez guys they aren't that bad... IMO that review was embelished to the extreme. I have had these and they are not trying to be a "premium" cigar -it is a gas station cigar and you have to keep that in mind.

PS the review was hilarious

Most of us smoked some pretty disgusting stuff when we started out. It sounds like you are embarking on this journey in the right frame of mind. Experiment, taste and try as many different things as you can. I do not concur with the poster who said to ignore Macanudo's, there is a reason they are one of the top selling(if not the top) brands on the market. You are correct that the Garcia Y Vega is a step up from the Black and Mild. It has a whole leaf rather than homogenized wrapper.

Although unintentional, most of us look down upon these entry level cigars in the same way we look down upon flavor cigars such as Acid's and the CAO flavours line. But everyone has to start somewhere. At some point you may decide to move to a hand made short filler cigar and then to long filler premiums. But try as many different smokes as you can and enjoy the ride.

Be sure and take a few pics of your fishing expedition and post your thoughts on the GyV.

Bobarian, the wrapper on the Games actually is a homogenized wrapper as opposed to whole leaf.

OK, so I did get a 'bit' creative with my review of the cigar... just a bit.

Funny story on the pics of the cigar, Photobucket actually pulled them due to TOS violations, I swear it looks just like a penis. However I found them on my PC and attached a couple here.

Enjoy.

Sorry, I was just going by the description on Famous. http://www.famous-smoke.com/garcia+y...ars/item+25773

I have never seen or smoked one before. My son in law gave me one in a plastic tube a while back and that looked like a natural leaf.

My bad, I think this is actually correct. I chopped one up and it did have a leaf wrapper but a homogenized binder on it. Crazy.

HTL binders with NTL wrappers is actually not that uncommon.
