I just picked up a couple of buyonegetonefree twin packs. The TVS torpedoes, and the Don Tomas Dominican Selection (strange name, as there is hardly any Dominican in it). They looked quite similar, and being the same manufacturer, I figured they would smoke similarly. If anything, I was a little suspicious of the DT. As it turned out, the DT was a very nice surprise. Velvety, yet substantial, with nice woody tones, and an impeccable burn. The TVS, ended up a little underwhelming. I almost thought I was smoking a Genuine Counterfeit Cuban. The feel, the burn, and very close in flavor (though a little less tangy, and a little more woody). Not to knock it, mind you. I like the TVS as well as the GCC, it just didn't come across nearly as impressive as everything I had heard. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't feel compelled to buy it again. I am considering a box of the DTs though. The Vega Talangas are quite different. It has been to long to describe it fully though. I might have to dig one out and fire it up.
