I've been digging on some of the HVC blends so I want to share my experience with my favorite from them with everyone. HVC cigars are made at Casa Fernandez and this one uses Aganorsa tobaccos, the same farms Pepin used early on.

HVC La Rosa 520- A 5.5 x 54 Nicaraguan puro with a corojo wrapper from the Jalapa region.

Appearnce/construction-The cigar is firm from head to foot with a lovely medium colorado color and small viens.

Draw/burn- A great draw with a slightly tempormental but not detracting burn.

Flavor/Aroma- Medium strength and full flavor.

1/3-Floral is dominant with cream, wood, nuts, white pepper, faint tea and carmel. A bit of a tanic mouthfeel, though the flavor makes me salivate.

2/3- Similar complexity, though floral is no longer dominant.

3/3- Again as the 2/3, now the tea flavor is no longer faint. Tanic is completely gone.

Burn time- 2 hours

Overall- This cigar has been a great treat, sadly its incredibly limited in production....only 150 boxes. All but but one of the La Rosa 520's I've smoked have been excellent experiences.

The one I had was really good and burned for two hours as well. It was fantastic IMO.

Where can we get them?

We have a local shop that sells them, our AJ Fernandez rep is the one that brought them in my area. They are a little on the high side price wise here but they are one of the few that I don't mind paying for in that range.

Do they have a website Rex
