I would say the VRs are more in-line with the floral aspect/notes. If you're looking for the nutty notes more than floral, I'd say definitely stay away from the VRs.
Help on looking for CC's with this taste profile.

Guess I'll just stick to Trinidads and Cohibas Sig IV's and VI's for now. Again the floral aspect is not really the focal point. I really like a creamy, nutty, and sweet cigar...so lets just drop the floral aspect all together.
I'd echo the other folks who recommended San Cristobals then Tom.......they fit this profile to a tee IMO. Creamy, Vanilla and Nut flavors.....and they're certainly not at the high end of price spectrum, which doesn't hurt.
Always have JL in my humi and never think of nutty or creamy when I smoke one. With age they can be sweet, but its more of a fruity sweet to me.
Think Cohibas and trinis may be your best bet for the creamy. Upmann can be nutty as some of us have said.

I would agree with the cohiba recommendations for the cocoa, coffee tones. Might also want to look at the monte grand edmundo, regular production edmundo or sublime for a more gradual cocoa/coffee overtones.
For floral, the LGC and the monte would be my choices as well.

More vanilla than floral in the Coloniales IMO, but I'll add my 2c in support of it - one of my favorite cigars, and reasonably priced (for a Trinidad anyway). The 2010s are la bomba so far - hard to save any to see what age will do!

H. Uppman = nutty, chocolate, coffee
VR = floral, chocolately as hell (my favorites)
Partagas = citrus, floral, leather
Monte = vanilla, honey, milk chocolate (bitter when young)
SCDH = nutty, leather, tiny bit floral
Cohiba = grassy, coffee, dark chocolate (grassy when young sometimes)
Ramon Allones = like a Padron '64

I find the '64 (natural) to be one of the most CC-like smokes. I'll have to have a RASS and 64 back-to-back. Fascinating.

Never eard or seen anything on a triny La Bomba. Sounds interesting!More vanilla than floral in the Coloniales IMO, but I'll add my 2c in support of it - one of my favorite cigars, and reasonably priced (for a Trinidad anyway).

Just a little Espanol lingo there... I'd imagine Tat would be the one to come out with "Da Bomb", not Habanos.
