10 is great!.....The VR Marca is the one brand that I don't have. The few I have had in the past never did anything for me. I decided to give them another try. I'm glad I did. I just participated in a blind tasting and was completely fooled, they turned out to be VR Familiars, a cigar I have never had. This cigar was very mild, smooth and very sweet. I would of expected more strength from a VR which is why I ruled them out in the tasting. It was a very good cigar to say the least!

How do the Unicos compare to the Familiar?

SLI - I dont have enough to trade. I loked and only have 3 random sizes in my "cuban singles" huni.

Sorry!

Sli-

I honestly don't believe I have had the Familiar. For me, the Unicos is mild/medium with a very distinctive flavor, slightly on the sweet side. Throughout the smoke I get a creamy, faint nut flavor, and then usually roasted/toasted nutty flavor quite a bit stronger about 2/3rd in, that I really enjoy. Sometimes I will get a little more sweetness than others and it's always a nice surprise when I do.

With only 6 months over a given box date, I find that they are smoking pretty well. A bit harsh right at first and within a few minutes, everything settles down and I can start enjoying the smoke.

I haven't had any of these with any large amount of age. I can only imagine that they would be just that much better. I think the oldest one I have had probably had a couple years on it. I do remember that I gifted daveincincy the last one of the box about a year ago.

^nine999 and I smoked one last Friday night. I remember it opening up about an inch in with a taste/flavor I couldn't describe. Very distinct, and very characteristic of Robaina smokes. I made a comment to him that I always tasted that profile, but could never pinpoint what the taste was, almost an earthy sweetness I suppose.

I also felt it ramped up in strength the last third of the smoke. Aside from a minor soft spot towards the foot of the cigar, it was a memorable smoke.

No problem tj-looks like Ryan has also hooked me up with some clasicos......

thanks anyway....

Scott, wow, I am speechless. I have only had a small handfull of these and they didn't have this much age on them. Thank You Very Much. This was a pretty lopsided trade imo. If I can help you out again lmk. Maybe next time, instead of sentrys, I will include a squad of armed guards.

Nothing like have your azz handed to you in a paper cup.
