Cigar v Cigar

Cigar v Cigar. One of my favorite brands is the Camacho Diploma Maduro. Awhile back I had someone give me a Vegas 5 Triple A. Right off the bat and through most of the smoke it was pretty much smoking the Camacho Diploma. The finish was a little different, I prefer the Camacho but the Vegas 5 was pretty much identical. So I am just curious from other inmates what your opinion on other brands matching one another.

If you can get the same flavor profile you love from a cheaper cigar and feel satisfied, then why pay more?

The 5 Vegas maybe the best little secret cigar. It is a 56 ring gauge (one of my favorite sizes) and is a nice smoke while walking the North 40 of the property. It is a medium to full flavor blend that is worth its value at approx $4.75/stick from CI.

It seems like even though they may be close, you prefer the Camacho anyway. It's obvious that no cigar will be identical unless they are identical in blend. It's nice to try to compare two cigars, but ultimately each cigar speaks for itself. Equating cigars to one another often leads to disappointment.

Those triple A's are my favorite in the Vegas line. Great little powerhouse smokes at a great price.

The Triple A and the Miami are my favorites in the 5 Vegas line. The rest are decent smokes and nice for having around when friends who aren't cigar smokers are over and want to try one.

irratebass · 01-02-2012, 01:22 PM

What about the 5 Vegas Maduros? I have a few and haven't tried them yet.

did you smoke each one individually or did you smoke them at the same time?

if you had two cigars going and compared puff for puff then you may see that they are very different.

Where are you buying the Vegas 5 AAA? I assume this is not a cuban. If it is then disregard.

IIRC Cigarsinternational and Cigarbid only. If I am incorrect, they sell them at both sites anyways.
