Victor Sinclair Series '55' - opinions???

RevSmoke · 11-29-2008, 08:26 AM

They were(are) CI's weekly deal. I know I can shop around and find some deals. It isn't even like I need any cigars for the humidor. I saw them, they appeared to be interesting, and at a very agreeable price. SO, I thought to ask about them.

I will keep my money.

I am not really looking, just pausing to ponder.

Thanks for the responses.

Peace of the Lord be with you all.

RevSmoke, I posted this short review of the Series 55 red label corojo on another site. I'd smoked this cigar before I'd had the opportunity to smoke better ones, so read it with that in mind:

Appearance: Reddish brown mottled corojo wrapper. A bit rough looking, some larger veins, and an unevenly applied cap.

Well filled. Solid but easy draw; burns a bit uneven.

Flavor is relatively simple, medium to full flavor profile, with a corojo tang at the core. It's hard to put my finger on the flavors that occasionally complemented the corojo-ness. Maybe it would benefit from some aging; I'll revisit someday to see.

A yardgar, or small step above it. Picked up a sampler on CBid for a low price but ven at the low price, I'd suggest investing the money in something better.

i smoked a 55 corojo gifted me by acarr yesterday, enjoyed it! can't speak for the other wrapper's but the corojo was spicey and yummy.

Most VS sticks that I've tried were awful. Except the Vintage Select. You can buy a box of them for around $40.

I made the mistake of buying a sampler about two years ago; never again. Yuck.

I have had the corojo Series 55 as well and really enjoyed it, I have really been enjoying the 10th ann. toros as well.

I forgot about the triple corojo. Those are pretty decent sticks.
