Enjoy those Upmann#2's. I got a box brought back from Cuba a couple of months ago. I've smoked 2 against my better judgement and have not been dissapointed. They are going to be serious winners.

Thanks guys. The Vegeuros are one of those overlooked brands. You either hate them or love them, and I fall in the second category. Nobody noticed the first 5 DCs being a different shade of brown? Don’t worry, not fake. I took five out and placed the 5 remaining ones from my 05 stock in the box for further aging. I'm planning on stocking all major Lanceros. The Partagas, Montecristo and Ray del Mundo come to mind, any others? Well Trinidad but its 40 not 38.
Question about the Hoyo DCs. How come the five on the right have a drastically different shade of wrapper from the more oily and darker ones on the left?

I've only had one Veguero (Especial No. 2, I think), good but nothing special. Definitely try one if you haven't.

They are my favourite No.2. Probably my favourite Upmann, well the Mag. 46 isn't bad either.

Someone after my own heart, I love Upmanns and the #2 and the Mag46 are the best. The vegueros are good smokes too. I have some Especial #1's that I have enjoyed. I like the grassy profile and I like the vitola.

I can't wait to light up one of the No.2s but I want to give it at least 2 or 3 weeks hopefully more. It's going to be hard to resist. I pretty much had one of the Vegueros within hours of receiving them. Wasn't bad only took 5 days to get the shipment so they weren’t really dry at all. If anything I was amazed at the perfect burn with a sharp pencil like cone.
