Review Notes: I picked up a fiver of these 5 Vegas after reading numerous reviews. While it is described by retailers as a medium bodied cigar, I would rate it just a couple of clicks from medium toward mild. It's a respectable cigar, a bit creamy with a slight sweetness underlying it. It burned evenly, although a bit quickly and I never found it to be harsh. As a rule I don't much care for Sumatra wrappers, yet found this one enjoyable. Overall I liked this cigar, but tend to enjoy something a bit more robust.

Review Notes: Nicely done. I am always on the lookout for great smokes in the sub $5 category, as I have turned a lot of my buddies on to cigars and we always smoke at my house. This leads to a lot of Don Carlos and Cuban Monte #2s going to waste...so I tried 5 Vegas based on the word around the campfire. The wrapper almost tastes cameroon. Nice and toothy. Smacks of spice...but not too much. Pretty mild to medium flavor profile. I hear a lot of harsh criticism...but my gosh, I bought 25 for $55. That is almost $2 a stick...I hear people mentioning RP Vintages and the like. That is not a fair fight...compare them to a Pancho Sanza or an Oliva Series G. I thought it was well made and had a very nice, full draw...I would buy another box.

Review Notes: Just okay across the board. Good draw. predominantly woody first half with the faintest hint of some baking spice on the end. Couldn't quite nail it down. A distinct walnut flavor on the second half. At auction pricing, it's fine as a humidor stuffer. Nothing wrong with it, but I don't think I'd notice if the brand disappeared tomorrow, either.

Review Notes: This cigar is very inconsistent with flavor and strength, not a bad cigar but it is not a very good one either! Had a nutty / leather taste for the first half that quickly turned into a distinctive harsh tasting cigar, even after 11 months in the humidor @ 70 % RH. I’ve smoked three boxes now and I am not very impressed with this brand. There is too many other good cigars out there that tasted 100% better then this one, for the same price or less.

Review Notes: I need to preface this review by saying I didn't give the cigar my usual time in the humidor before I decided to try one, and given they were bought at auction, they appeared a bit dry, so I may revise this later. The first thing I noticed was that the wrapper had 2 distinct colors. Something I might expect from a 2.00 stick, but not these. To put is bluntly, I found the flavor to be rather flat and one dimensional and much milder than I had expected. One the plus side the construction was good although I had to make a couple of minor corrections in the burn, and the strength and flavor picked up during the second half of the smoke. I expect this cigar should improve with a few months of aging, but as of now I would have to say I've got some 2.00 smokes that I would prefer to this one.
