A maduro VSG, I would jump all over that.

A VSG Lancero! Music to my ears! And the maddy sounds good too...

Heard it through the grapevine also. Looking forward to the lancero as well. I guess the robusto will be presented in a tubo

A VSG Lancero would be sweet indeed!

A maduro VSG...how could they then continue to call it "VSG?"

But a VSG lancero sounds absolutely immaculate.

That's what I wondered. But then again, why couldn't a sun grown wrapper also be maduro. Isn't maduro just a fermentation of whatever wrapper leaf?

I heard the maduro is coming from the ashton rep in early december last year.... so it must be... VSG filler with a Maduro wrapper.

Yea Maduro is just the fermentation process...don't see why a wrapper couldnt be VSG maduro???

Isn't that the ESG's new size?

I must say, a VSG lancero could be a helluva smoke!

no, the pyramid is a new cigar for fuente, not for ashton. the ESG's are already out there. we did a PPP with one at the new herf, it was much better than the previous ESG's but i still don't believe it's worth the price tag.

i can't wait for the lancero.

Fuente did just recently release the ESG 22 Year Salute Torpedo. Also The "King T" is on the market in select B&M's. The "King T" as I understand it is very similar to the King B but a little smaller and in a fancy tube. I'll try to keep an ear out for any solid news on the new VSG's and get it out if i hear anything.
