5 Vegas Miami 55

MajorCaptSilly · 07-26-2009, 09:07 PM

Just had my first one tonight. Not the blast of pepper you would expect from a Pepin made stick. Very even, medium bodied, and woodsy like I enjoy. A little more ligero would make this perfect.

I agree, it could use some spice. But all in all a fine smoke.

I've also enjoyed the couple that I've had.

I had my first one the other night, courtesy of BlackIrish. Bit too strong for my tastes. Nicely made though. If it fits your taste profile they will be a winner.

I had my first Miami the other day. it was the torpedo. I thought it was very good.

CI is having a special on the knucles today. Kind of want to buy, but need to save for other things. breaks down to 2.83 a stick. thats a pretty good price maybe I will buy. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I read mixed reviews on the knuckles, but i went ahead and got a 5er. I was not dissapointed. For what you pay for them, i thought they were pretty good. I gave one to my buddy and he liked it as well. Im no expert of course, and i wish i could give you some insight on what it tasted like but i am at the point where either i like a cigar or i dont.

I liked the one I smoked this weekend. Your description pretty much described my experience as well.

I guess the only problem i have had with them is the burn, other than that i like the flavor profile. i smoked one after i got off work today just to check them out again.

Keep Pepin made cigars around 60-64% rh and no more burn problems.

Pepin actually recommends this.

The toro is a regular in my humi. Not so much of the 55.

Haven't tried this vitola yet but I do enjoy the torp from time to time.
