5 Vegas Gold

Tenor CS · 12-13-2008, 08:13 AM

Any 5 Vegas Gold fans out there?

I've been smoking mostly really dark maduros lately, but I had a 5 Vegas Gold that came in a CI sampler.

Honestly, it was one of the most enjoyable cigars that I can remember in the last 3 months for me. Nice draw, very smooth, lots of smoke.

Maybe I'm more suited to milder cigars and have been trying to force the more full-flavored maduros too quickly ...

I like the 5 Vegas Gold and you can usually find them pretty affordable. Very good moring smoke.

They go good with coffee in the mornings every once in a while.

One of my favorite of that style cigar. Say what you want about 5 Vegas but they are a consistent, affordable smoke.

Good smoke to start the day. I wouldn't end the day on one though. I like my cigars a lot stronger than those.

I used to be into these but my tastes have drawn me away from them as of late.

I still don't mind the cask strengths.

My first was very smooth and mild, one that I would recommend to any new smoker. I am still there and enjoy this type of smoke very much. CAO Gold is also another one that I enjoy, a nice morning stick as they say.

The 5 Vegas Gold is my go to Saturday morning with coffee smoke. It has some very good flavors and I love the nuttiness to them.

I only smoked the 5 vegas miami, 2 vitola's, the knuckle and the toro and they both didn't impress me even though I am a pepin whore. The gold is a cigar I have never tried.

The 5 Vegas Golds are one of those cigars that I always keep around for a good morning smoke.

My favorite 5Vegas is the Double Nickel - 5"x55 box press beauty that throws a ton of creamy smoke.

Well I'm going to be the oddball here,,bought 40 churchills and can't think of one I liked.. They were one dimensional and very boring..

Agreed, although without the coffee

.

These get much better after a bit of a nap too. I find them a bit harsh off the truck, but after a couple of months, they are fine. Nice and creamy.

Not to mention what they did to your teeth.

Love how these surpise me everytime. They're in my plus colum to purchase when I come across good deals. For a mild cigar they have a great flavor profile. I agree they are pretty one dimensional, but I actually like that in a cigar as long as the one dimension is a great flavor.
