Default 5 Vegas Triple A

See on CI. Good price. Are these sticks truly maduro-whore worthy?

Very tasty sticks. The only 5 Vegas I'll smoke.

I like the AAA more than the A, but those are about the only 2 I enjoy from 5 Vegas.

Jeff brings up a good point. There are often sales and specials on the Series A, but I think the original Triple-A is better. I've only tried the Robusto size, but I bet the Torps they have on special are tasty as well.

I got a 5-pack of the 5 Vegas Gold Maduro (The Brick, which is a Toro) on CBid for $7.00, smoked the first one last night after resting for about a month and I really enjoyed it. For $1.40 a stick it might be worth a try.

Yes tasty! Day before you posted this I picked up 3 boxes of them. Box worthy for sure. For the price you get much more for your money with these puppies!

A mondo bargain with nice draw and a lush dark wrapper from the great AJ Fernandez. Smoke a AAA once in a while. Taste even better when you don't do them regularly.

Just smoked my first Triple-A. (ROTT) Firm feel with no soft spots. Nice aroma coming from a pretty wrapper. The first third started with a good dose of pepper that slowly faded. The rest of the cigar had a charred wood taste or burnt coffee flavor along with a straight forward tobacco flavor. Not much complexity, but not bad at all. Burn was perfect. Great maduro sweetness in the mouth from the wrapper, tasty to chew on.
I think this cigar is well worth the money. Some aging should do this cigar wonders. I'm going to pick more up and put them to bed for a nice nap. Definitely the best of the 5-Vegas lineup.

Great review. 6 months to a year does wonders to this cigar.
