I 'lost sight' of the Visions shortly after they were launched last year. Probably the most disappointing cigar they have introduced, IMHO.

Alright... I think I understand but let me break the original post down and answer these questions in the best manner that I can. In my line of work, there is no such thing as a 'best smoke' or a 'worst smoke'. The general philosphy in the cigar business is simply "Smoke what you like. Like...
