East and West are same blend I believe, just slightly different size.
IMO, I prefer the regular Havana VI, especially at the price of the regionals. The are the same blend with ligero added and a larger RG than the Havana VIs I smoke.
For the price I'd go Cabaiguan Guapo or Tat J 21 Reserva which are all about the same size as the East and much better cigars, IMO.
I just finished one of the East Coast blends and I have to say it is my favorite cigar of the moment. I gave one to my friendly B&M guy (they don't carry them) and he was blown away by it. I really enjoy the Havana IV Nobles, the Verocru is the same taste profile but with a little added punch on the spice and fullness I guess due to the added ligero. I buy mine online from New Havana Cigars, they have the best packaging methods I have ever seen. www.newhavanacigars.com
