What 5 Vegas had the best flavor profile for you?

Outlaw God · 07-16-2013, 11:34 AM

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.

Thanks, I added a poll but they only give you a fast 5 min to add

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 one's I gave away. This line rivals Puros Indios for the worst ever.

So you hate the 5 Vegas line then?

Porch Dweller · 07-16-2013, 01:17 PM

A, AAA, and High Primings.

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.

His post is the equivalent of going into the thread dedicated to Scotch Whiskey and posting "Scotch sucks!"

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 only good one is the Miami b/c it is a Pepin cigar.

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.

Chuck N · 07-17-2013, 05:16 AM

Cask strength for me.

FelonyRuckus · 07-17-2013, 03:55 PM

cask strength for the flavor and strength.

on a hot day and a beer, the Gold is good

Gold Maduro...horrible.
