To try? Yes. To buy a box locally? No. Try purchasing from various companies in Pennsylvania.

Or Florida... I really like the VSGs and have been smoking them more and more lately. the construction is superb the flavors are unique, and the Belicoso is only about 10 bucks here (which is too much for everyday, but not insane, and you can find it on the street, unlike opus or anejo)

I don't care what Famous sez (or is it CI), the seconds are not as good as the firsts. They taste greener, stronger, and unbalanced IMHO. The firsts are a very good cigar.

I tried a Taboo HSG the other night. While not the same as a VSG, or close for that fact. It was a kickass stick.
I love my sweet chocolaty cigars.

I know chances of that happening are 1 in a million so, does anybody have any other alternative to the VSG ( smooth chocolaty, slightly spicy stick ) ?
I'm a big fan of all Ashton's to date - my first love back when of premium smokes.
Recently picked up a couple of
La Aroma de Cuba. I'm currently getting ready to buy a box or two. I'd suggest giving them a shot. Not so much "chocolaty" but I think you may like it.

La Aroma de Cuba is a great smoke @ reasonable prices!
