5 Vegas Series 'A' Box-Pressed Apotheosis

Catfish · 01-26-2009, 01:03 PM

Has anyone tried these and what was your opinion?

Just got an email from CI with what appears to be a good deal if these are worth it.

10 for $25 or 20 for $45.

Jump on it or pass?

I need to pay better attention - I thought the Apex was the only box pressed version....I must be getting old

Good smokes but they need 6-8 months rest IMO. For 2 bucks and change per stick, I say go for it.

Those and the Apocalypse are to only two in the line I don't care for. The Apotheosis are too soft and don't taste like the rest. The Apocalypse tastes good but are so fat they make my jaw hurt just looking at them.

I'm a big gauge smoker. My preferences start at 54 and go up. If the only downside of an Apocalypse is the size, i'm game!

I got an Artisan, IIRC, as part of CI's 5 Vegas "All-Star" sampler, and didn't really care for it. I smoked it OTT, though, and this is the 2nd time since then that I've read that they need to be rested.
