5 Vegas Classic Fifty Five

Kreth · 09-17-2009, 11:12 PM

I picked up a 5er of these on cbid.

Humidor time: 2 weeks

Prelight: Construction looks decent. The Sumatra wrapper has minimal veins. Prelight draw is easy, and tastes of wood and coffee.

Burn: Burn was wavy, but fairly even. Ash was solid and held on well. Draw was easy. Burn time was about 65 minutes, partially because it went out close to the nub and I didn't feel like relighting it at that point.

Flavor: This cigar was creamy, with flavors of wood and coffee. The finish made me think of molasses. Spice was fairly mild.

Summary: This was a quick smoke, but the flavors were decent. These are reasonably priced (especially on cbid), so I'll be picking up more.

Most of the 5 vegas lines are good IMHO and pretty reasonably priced.

The only one I haven't cared for was the Gold. I tried a couple and it was like smoking air. Now I need to snag some Limitadas to try.

I felt the same way after smoking the Gold...inhaling AIR.

this is a mouth monster!! Like it, but 5 vegas Miamis seem to be harsher than they were when first introduced IMHO.
