Very nice! I like the VSG line much more than the Opus or anything else for that matter.
Enjoy,
Ken
I may catch some heat for this statement, but I actually prefer VSG's over (most) Opus!
Some excellent p0rn, indeed!
Those look great, Yes I am one of those that put the ESG and VSG on the same pedestal as the Opus, they are all great smokes. Nice haul and if the girlfriend gets mad have her smoke one with you, you'll be surprised.
Are you guys kidding me? I started on Ashtons, and a VSG was one of my first 5 cigars, and I've been in love since. I always feel like turning to them (I prefer Belicosos, but thats just a size thing....) is a cop-out to looking for a better cigar. Opuses (Opui??) are spoken of on this board like they are the cigar of Christ, and I've never had one. To hear that makes quite an impression on me. If anyone likes the VSG over the opus and cares to trade, hit me up (sorry if that statement breaks rules, but I had to say it

)
I've been trying to get the g/f to smoke with me, and she won't do it. After making her puke all over the car on the way to AC while smoking, she's not to happy with me and my cigars.
Wow. Just wow. Nice haul!
If you wouldn't mind terribly . . . could you PM me on where one can buy an entire BOX of Spellbounds? I'm about to start my walk-in project and, well---that's what I want to celebrate with when I get it done!

Very nice. Love the VSG's. Never had an ESG.
I don't want to say I was disappointed, because I wasn't. But it was much mellower than I had expected. VSGs kind of kick you in the face, whereas the ESG sits back and is like a steady dose of flavor and pepper. I'm not a reviewer, nor do I have a developed palate (cocoa, wood, earth, tea, whatever, I can't tell the damn difference), but this ESG was a very enjoyable smoke all the way through. I couldn't resist, and they only had a short journey, but I opend one right up. I smoked about 3/4s of it last night, and it was great and very consistent. I clipped it and finished it on the way to work this morning, and it was still about 90%. Great smoke, and given the size, well balanced. I've never had a VSG that size, so its an unfair comparison, but I guess we'll find out when I light a Spellbound.
