Main flavour differences?

I find the Vs are fuller in body and on my buds bring about more leather and earth notes. These tend to be more sweet spices. However, i am finding the older my Vs are getting the nicer they are, when I got the box a couple of years ago they are very ‘mongrel’ - I know NCs are often ‘smoke right now’ sort of sticks, but I have found, with my very limited experience with NCs, that some of them are better with some dust on them!

The Vs I had a few years back when I started cigars were excellent. However the last two I've had recently have been underwhelming to say the least. So much so I've taken the box of Vs out my favourites on our sponsors site.
Maybe it's me that's changing not the cigars.....

Thanks for this, I?ll stick one on the ?to try? list!

I definitely agree with you there - some NC's are much better just being left alone and they do taste better. The V's are lovely smokes, not tried the O's though. I have a couple of the V Perfectos I had for around 18 months or more - must light one up soon
