Victor Sinclair Connecticut Yankee Toro - Quite good, authentic US Connecticut broadleaf wrapper. This one is the best of the ones you listed by far and the only VS I buy now. I like the new banding on this one.
Victor Sinclair Primeros Toro - Avoid this one completely.
Victor Sinclair Triple Corojo Toro - Don't know?
Victor Sinclair Vintage Select Toro - Not too shabby, age them. I think they are worth a try, but I Don't get them anymore. There is better out there, even though these are no more than $1.25 on cbid.

Series 55 Blue label maduros are the only one in the 55 line to consider (IMO). Even saying that, there are much better other options - again IMO.

Just had a box of the VC Connecticut Yankee and a sampler of the Triple Corojo delivered this morning.

I like the Yankee for a cheap yard-gar as it's smooth and I remember it having a couple nice surprises. Nice enough to buy a box, plus they are cheap which was the deciding factor. :ss

Fired up a Triple Corojo here this afternoon. Only 2/3's into this thing & not blowing my socks off but is smooth, leaves a little spice on the back of your tongue but it's very slight. It's a little soft and spongy but I'm smoking this thing right off the truck just for kicks.

I wasn't really expecting a complex cigar considering it's Corojo through and though, but it's a nice mid-day smoke.

Don't think I'll buy a box but the other 4 will get another try as the year goes on.
