Review Notes: Yup, that is the time it takes to make them worth smoking. After that, smoke'em if you got'em. Best damn-cheap mild-smoke ever!

Review Notes: Construction and appearance were flawless as was the burn. Although I usually prefer a fuller smoke, this is a mild cigar that even guys like me will enjoy. Lots of smoke and a flavor that isn't one dimensional like so many mild dominicans, but still smooth to the nub.

Review Notes: I had the same experience with the last reviewer, however after several months in the humi, I smoked them again and I have to say that it turned out pretty darn good. Unlike the first two, this one had strength and character. Give it another try dude!

Review Notes: I am a big fan of the Cinco Vegas, but, personally, this cigar let me down entirely. I've always had good, quality smokes from them, and I also appreciate a good, mild smoke, but this one had NOTHING to offer. Granted it is a beautiful cigar, it offers nothing for the palate. If you want a cigar that will impress your friends while they watch you smoke it, go for it. Other than that, invest your money elsewhere. The wrapper is beautiful and the burn is even, but that is it. I picked up a 12-torpedo sampler from CI for $20 (which is a good deal) but I wish they were ALL the Cinco Vegas Classic. I keep the Classics stocked in my humi so I figured I'd try the Gold. Quite frankly, unless you're getting one hell of a deal on them (the sampler isnt that bad) then you should invest elsewhere. I would even replace it with the more full-bodied Classic (or, if you're a firm believer in only milds, the Perdomo Reserve Champagne or the Rocky Patel Connecticut)

Review Notes: The wrapper on this is one of the nicest I have ever seen! These were very consistent cigars with a good draw and great mild/creamy flavor.
