Couple 5 Vegas that surprised me

I got a 5er of the new "Relic" and "Cask Strength" last week and had the opportunity to try both today on a trip home from Indy. They were still a little "damp" and I wish I would have dry boxed but I smoked them anyway.

The Relic was first up. I was very surprised to taste that Cuban "tang" in this one. It had a floral and a bitter chocolate flavor to it that was really quite good. I enjoyed this as much as I've enjoyed any NC in a long time.

The Cask Strength was up next. I always enjoyed the old version and this one is a little better. The wrapper is a darker and makes for a richer flavor. Very woodsy flavor with lots of smoke.

The Relic was my favorite but both were very good smokes.
