What do you guys think of these 5 Vegas?

Sonic04GT · 11-02-2011, 12:15 AM

I want a few cigars to keep on hand that I can give to friends when I invite them for a smoke. I am new and sampling so I never give anything away unless I have duplicates. Would defeat the purpose of buying samplers if I hand them off before I even try them myself. So, I want a fiver to serve that purpose. Something quality, well known, but fairly inexpensive, that the rookie or veteran would enjoy. Nothing larger than robusto. I want to try the 5 Vegas series so I was thinking of the Golds but then I saw this...

What do you guys think of those 5 Vegas Series 'A' Atomic for $14 shipped? Medium-Full a little strong to give to potential rookies, myself being one of them? They're 4.5x54

Or I could hold out and see what else comes up on Cigar Sprint Sale. Every purchase I've made since I got into the hobby has only included 1 or 2 of each cigar.

I have a 5 Vegas Classic sitting in the humi that I'll try one of these days. Also a Cask Strength that just came out of the freezer. That thing is huge so that's going aside for a special occasion, and when I step up to stronger cigars.

I used to really like the 5 Vegas A but I haven't smoked one in quite awhile. The Triple A, Miami and Gold Maduro are my favorites of the 5 Vegas line..

Bax · 11-02-2011, 02:38 AM

They're nice sticks

iamsolitary · 11-02-2011, 03:48 AM

I've only had the 5 Vegas Classic, Gold and Cask Strength. Both the classic and gold would be pretty good sticks for passing out to newbies. I personally like the gold quite a bit. The classic is ok. I just find it to be a little boring.

irratebass · 11-02-2011, 05:22 AM

Go for it, for that price

I've had one and I really enjoyed it.

Blak Smyth · 11-02-2011, 06:47 AM

If you can swing it grab those Kristoffs instead! They are GREAT sticks!!!
I am not a big fan of the 5 Vegas, I have not had one that wasn't just okay, I have a Gold Maduro resting.
But if you are giving them out to friends you can't beat that price

jledou · 11-02-2011, 07:40 AM

Good mild to medium maduro for me. you might be able to find even better prices floating around if you are patient though.

DaBear · 11-02-2011, 07:54 AM

I've only had the classics, but for the price point they were good.

ktblunden · 11-02-2011, 08:14 AM

The A is a pretty decent $3 cigar. I like the Triple A and Miami better. The Classic is very bland in my estimation. I've only had one Cask Strength, but I really didn't enjoy that one. I think the entire 5 Vegas line get more attention than they deserve, due to CI/Cigar.com/cbid/etc. pushing their house brands so hard. There are much better sticks down in the $3/stick price range. Like Blak Smyth mentioned, that Kristoff deal is much more appetizing. The Kristoffs are fantastic cigars and I've heard very good things about the Sencillos.

I gotta +3 on the Kristoff's they are my favs....sooo good.

kelmac07 · 11-02-2011, 09:22 AM

Triple AAAs are the best in the line.

ApexAZ · 11-02-2011, 10:19 AM

I'm loving Gran Habanos right now. Have had Habano #3, Corojo Vintage 2002 and 3 Siglos models. I enjoy them all immensely. Very smooth and rich. The Corojo #5 is rated well also I believe. I have gotten most of the Gran Habanos for $2-$2.50 per cigar.

emopunker2004 · 11-02-2011, 10:21 AM

the 'A' Line is good

smokin5 · 11-02-2011, 10:33 AM

I enjoy the 5 Vegas 'A' line, but I think $3/stick is far too much to pay.
I routinely score these on Cigarbid.com for about $2@ shipped.
Also, they may be a bit strong for new or casual smokers;
I'd recommend the 5 Vegas Gold for handing out to your friends.

Sonic04GT · 11-02-2011, 03:07 PM

Thanks for the comments. I guess I'll hold out for the time being

Ogre · 11-02-2011, 03:39 PM

For the money, they are a solid little cigar.

11-02-2011, 04:28 PM

I ended up with a bundle of "A" Apostles if i recall properly. I like them well enough to usually have one in the travel humi, for friends or myself. I find they give off good flavor w/o being over powering in the "N" department. I just don't like that they're dyed and I've come back with brown lips after smoking one of these.
As far as what to hand a friend, I damn near bricked my drawers when a new female friend snagged my Oliva V maddy from me and started huffing on it like a pro. So I would say it really depends on the person.

Could not agree more, the A is one of my go to cheap smokes. If your friends don't smoke than I would also go with the gold as its a good mild smoke.

Sonic04GT · 11-03-2011, 10:52 PM

Ended up just getting a fiver of 5 Vegas Gold Robustos for $15 shipped from CI.

Only ones I see coming up on CSprint are the No.1's which are 7.5 in length

which went for around $14.

HollywoodQue · 11-04-2011, 06:24 AM

I enjoyed the Miami and the triple A,,,very decent smokes.
