Review Notes:Unbelievable how good these guys get with aging.
A must try cigar. Exceptional value. I brought one to Texas hold'em night a few weeks ago. I broke out even, but this stick's flavor was "big slick" for an hour and a half. I think you'll always have some burn and construction issues with these but the flavor is fan-@#%$&*#-tastic for $3.00 a throw. Make sure you give them plenty of box time.
Review Notes:A medium bodied cigar with pretty straightforward tobacco flavor, a decent draw and burn, and good amount of smoke. Nothing too special, just a nice cigar for 3 bucks. I prefer to spend a bit more and get the Limitadas.

Review Notes:The whole 5 vegas line seems to be a great budget smoke. I am finishing my last of the box right now and still enjoy the medium body and smooth flavor it provides. The only knock I have on the smoke is the construction. From the first in the box to the last they seem to burn uneven and sometimes the wrapper cracks when burning. Besides the seemingly poor construction, the flavor and smoking experience itself is as good as it gets for the price. Age also seems to help the cigars taste greatly. Enjoy one yourself if you can today.

Review Notes:Floral, wheaty, sweet spice, meat(?), mild start building to medium before half way and still one of the best deals around. Now that I'm a "seasoned" smoker and these are seasoned smokes they are much milder to me now. They stand up much better to morning coffee or an iced tea in the afternoon than an adult beverage in the evening. Absolutely perfect burn and easy draw from this well aged classic torpedo.
Review Notes:It all depends upon the price you end op paying for these. I paid $2 a stick at Cigar bid. At $2 a throw these are fantastic. Solid middle of the road flavor and complexity. Nothing world shattering, but good. Good burn and draw. Nice ash. At 4 bucks a throw these are not bad but you can get better...ie El Rey Del Mundo, Cusano Rocky Patel seconds, Fonseca. Make sure you age the 5 Vegas sticks a month or so before smoking. They get better with "marination".
