What the heck?

Ok so yesterday I tried to have a 5 Vegas 'A' and it ended up just being a bad smoke. Horribly dark ash and had problems staying lit. I figured well maybe it was just a bad cigar but I got another one tonight that did practically the same thing. Could it just be a couple of bad cigars out of the box or I dunno what do ya'll thing? Has this ever happen to you?

I have always enjoyed the 5 Vegas cigars, several different ones, including the A and never had a problem.

I recall that several guys here like them, and that some do not.

Just one of those things with cigars I guess.

Where and how long have they been stored? Not sure if you tried to smoke them too soon after receiving them or maybe your humi might not be sitting at the right settings.

I liked the 5 vegas "A" so much it was my first ever box purchase and it doesnt sound like any of the "A"'s that I have had.

They've been in my large humi for a while probably about 3-4 months. Right at 65% RH and around 72-74 degrees. And I've had others from the same box that were fine and great. Just these two seemed to be a pain.

I agree, gott try another one. A bum stick is a bum stick. I've had a few of the "A"s and loved 'em.

Thanks guys. I guess I'll just wait and see how the others turn out. It was just weird 'cause I've never really had a stick do that to me before. Especially a 5 Vegas.
