It's been a long time since i've posted a review, but I just have to share my experience with you guys! ;)

Cigar: Tat Verocu No. 5
Size: 4x40
Made in: Nicaragua
Beverage: Brazilian Coffee

1st Half:

I cut the cigar w/ my perfect cutter and lit it with my Xikar Havana Lighter.
The cigar started out very full body in the first 1/8 inch! It was very peppery,
and I also tasted flavors of cedar, and rich tobacco. I read all the time that this
is a flavorful medium bodied cigar, but i'm wondering if Pete wasn't trying
to mimic Dion's ultra as strong as this is.

I put the cigar down to have a drink of my coffee. The cigar was producing
a good amount of smoke, and never died out! Only 3 quarters of an inch in,
the transition is very noticeable. When I picked it back up, The pepper was
completely gone.

2nd Half

Replacing its traditional Pepin start, this cigar segued into a very enjoyable
medium body, full flavored experience. Flavors of rich tobacco, are melding
with a brown sugary sweetness and cream! Cedar kept dancing in and out as
well. These flavors stayed consistent to the end.

It's been a while since i've had one of these, but I will most definitely be back
to revisit them soon! This box was purchased in January and the box code is Sep '11.

Never got into these as much as the 9s. U had any of those lately? Been a couple years for me. Nice review as well.

@Justin I haven't brotha, but what I fell in love with (and I'm sad i didn't buy more of) were the
ELO 6's! they were from the original blend of Verocu No. 9, (just a slightly smaller RG).
