Tom and Ed.
I found there to be a very subtle taste of Sandalwood. Might that be the flavor you couldn’t describe? Almost like a very very mild flavor like the smell of Nag Champa incense?
great review guys! thanks for sharing! this is a great cigar, not my top favorite, but is a good solid cigar. glad to hear ed’s shop is doing good in these rough times. thanks again guys! always enjoy these reviews!
cheers

Another great review.
Colibri was actually started in 1910, with their first lighter, the “Colibri Original” being produced in 1928.
lol, “its cold out there-about 50”
Try -8 degrees as it is here =)
Great video and I really dig the out-takes! Funny stuff. Ed is the MAN!!!
K.O.P.M.F.
Shedel –
Thanks all for the comment love. Hope everyone enjoyed the review.
Ed, are you out there? What do you think of Shedel’s post? Maybe he got the “Missing flavor?”
Once again, Great review!! (although I could have sworn the eye on Tom’s shirt winked at me a couple of times…) Keep it up!!!
-MJ
MJ – It was! For you anyway 😉
Shedal – It’s official, Ed is still stumped. We don’t know what sandalwood smells like. Now I’m curious more then ever. Thanks for the tip.
Great review, you guys get better with every review.
my only complaint is that you should do these reviews more often…happy ! year anniversary…….
Nice review guys. Ed the shirt looks a lot better with that top button undone btw…lol.
Hey.
Just smoked one, and it burned well and tasted good.
As to that elusive sweet flavour: I had a molasses taste, with a slight bitterness, instead of coffee or chocolate (I pick up espresso/black chocolate in Bolivar BCF or Monte Sublimes, not in the VSG).
Another flavour I may’ve gotten: mint. Admittedly, I noticed it on the pre-light draw, and while smoking, more with the spiciness. That’s likely not it, as it wasn’t really sweet, and I only barely noticed.
Both tastes through “retro-haling.”
Thanks for the review. I’m up in Canada, and it’s too cold currently to smoke as often as I’d like … so, if I can’t smoke, then I can at least enjoy via proxy by watching others smoke!
Note, I’ve a novice-and-a-half, so take this for what it’s worth.
Cheers
Stef,
From one novice and a half to another – I appreciate you sharing your experience with this smoke. Next time I smoke a VSG, I’m going to refer to this post.
I definetly had a strong Sambuca/licorice flavor in the first 1′ of this stick.
call me crazy.
