Default 5 Vegas Triple-A

"Another fantastic blend from the award winning 5 Vegas line, Triple-A combines tobaccos from Nicaragua's top growing regions with an oily broadleaf maduro wrapper to create a full-bodied array of complex flavors guaranteed to stimulate your palate for hours of enjoyment."

5.0x56

This is a gorgeous looking cigar with flavors to match it's looks. A very nice band, as well as a second band at the foot. The color is very dark and this cigar feels quite nice in the hand. I poked this with a CigarSpike and the draw was perfect.



The first 4 to 5 draws brought HUGE amounts of pepper. I was wondering what I had got myself in to. The pepper was so thick and powerful that my mouth was actually watering. I quickly went inside and poured a glass of orange juice.



Luckily (so I thought), the cigar soon mellowed. I had that wonderful maduro flavor on my lips. I was still getting a nice pepper flavor, but espresso was now getting mixed in. I got a bit light headed as the vitamin N was kicking in, so I got up and walked around a bit. Drank some O.J. and I regained my senses.



Moving right along, the flavor again changed to a peppery leather flavor. I was getting tons of smoke from the small hole created by the CigarSpike. As I neared the end of the second 3rd, my head got a little light again. Where's a jelly donut when you need one !



Heading down the home stretch, the nice pepper flavor was joined by a hint of oak. I was really enjoying this cigar. It lasted about an hour and 20 minutes, and when I went to put it in the ashtray, I just had to take one last draw. I would consider this a full bodied smoke with tons of great flavors coming through nicely. This one ranks right up there with the Cinco Vegas Anomaly.

Nice looking cigar and good Pics (except that one) wanted to go out and find one to buy...and smoke on the spot. I really did enjoy the pics so much it bears repeating--nice pictures, and review.

I've been wanting to try one of these. The last 5 Vegas "A" I had was a disappointment. Nice review!
