Default What 5 Vegas had the best flavor profile for you?

I'm clueless of any of the 5 Vegas cigars, thinking they will be generally too mild of a brand for me.
Out of there major lines, what one dose it for you and why?
Thanks

Classic
Relic
Limitada
Gold
Gold Maduro
Series ‘A’
Triple-A
Cask-Strength
Miami
High Primings

My favs are the Classic High Primings...excellent for when I'm not in the mood for something strong; AAA is a great maduro (made by AJ Fernandez); Cask Strength brings up the rear. Great flavors.

AAA is the best of the bunch for me. I also like the Gold for a light smoke.

Only two do anything for me:
Cask Strength II : rich, smooth corojo flavor
Series A: ONLY in the PC size....and ONLY with a very long nap (min six months - even better, a year or more.)

The Series A Alpha, the belicoso pictured, is my favorite. But, I discovered that they need to sit a few months and then they're GREAT. Get lots of spice and cinnamon out of it with maduro sweetness.

The only one I haven't liked has been the Gold Maduro. Everything else has done it for me... I'll smoke anything from mild/mellow/creamy to full/strong/stout as long as it's not a pepper bomb, and all of the 5 Vegas line has delivered for me. Haven't had the Miami Knuckle yet...

I second the dislike for the Gold Maduro. It was just very, very bland.

The miami ranks pretty high on my puke list. I've smoked 4 of them that i had received from other members / samplers, each of them for only 5-10 minutes before putting it out.

The AAA is in my opinion the best of the bunch, very solid Maduro smoke. I also remember liking the Relic, but it's been a couple years since I've had one.

My favorite too, the only one I will still buy, though I liked the A and AAA's as well, I rarely seek them out anymore.
