He likes the Bamboo...but you are asking about the 15th Anni....What?

Many years ago, I went through many (most) VS offerings here because they were cheap and I didn't know any better.

Here's my observations:
1. Some VS were among the worst cigars I ever tried.
2. Most of those that weren't horrid, ranged between sucky and boring as hell.
3. The Primeros CT was surprisingly decent - mild, nutty ...good enough morning cigar, especially at around a buck a piece.
4. All of the 'full size' 55's were horrendous, including the corojo....with one very strange exception. The tinned 55 Corojo Petites are pretty darned good cigarillos. At 4 bucks for a tin of 10, I have been smoking them on my morning commute a couple times a week for many years

Never had either....but when a trash peddler is charging $30/box, I wouldn't be expecting anything better than chitty cigars.

Maybe I was too circumspect above -- 90+% of the VS cigars I tried are awful.....and to buy some as a 'gift' without even having tried them ...well....I thought you said it was for a 'friend'....if its really a friend, buy him cigars that you have tried and can personally attest are not chitty

I would not get those Bamboos as a gift unless you knew your friend had smoked them and liked them. If he did and does, who cares what anyone else thinks.

I have a friend who said he likes Victor Sinclair Bohemian Bamboo [...] They are about $2 to $2.50 per cigar.
