VSU - Volumetric Smoke Unit - the subjective measure of smoke produced by a fine cigar with 5 VSU being the most smoke production possible. A five VSU smoke is considered the ultimate smoke usually leading to a visit from first responders and only achievable by only 1 percent of the cigar population.

This is a public service announcement for the benefit of new members and those lurking, to help them understand the odd language used here. A post is done to take this thread to the top, usually every day, to try to keep the information at or near the top of the first page so that it would be seen and presumably helpful. Ram has been the keeper of the flame, hitting this thread on a daily basis, until he started slacking a little while ago.
