5 Vegas Relic Perfecto Pic. Review

The 5 Vegas Relic is a tasty, creamy, and smooth cigar thats definately worth trying.

It is a nice perfecto shape with a size of 5.7" and a gauge of 54 (Taken from CI's website). The wrapper wasn't much to look at, but it was oozing with tasty goodness that was screaming "SMOKE ME!" Despite being a bit veiny, the wrapper had a sweet taste to it, with a very clean and crisp draw upon cutting.

The cigar was medium bodied and it had a subtle sweetness to it. I tasted mostly cocoa and toasty flavors, with a bit of peppery goodness at the end.

I really enjoy this cigar, this one had been sitting in my humidor for almost a month. The 5 Vegas Relic definately has some aging potential if I can just keep my hands off them! Definately worth trying if you can get your hands on some!













PS - Why do we always look angry when we take a picture of ourselfs smoking a cigar?

Nice job Ben, it's on my must try list. Did you buy a full box? I love the way the box looked as well.

Hey Vinnie, I didn't buy a box of the Relic's. When they first came out, I snagged a 5 Pack off Cbid, I smoked two off the bat, gifted one to a friend, smoked this one, and now I have one left. That last one is going to sit for another month or so.

I agree with you that the box looks pretty awesome, I probably will end up either getting a box sometime in the near future. It is on my list of boxes to get, right under a box of my fav. cigar 5 Vegas Miami!

Great review, I finally go a 5 Vegas in the Humi. It is a classic but will give it a try in a week or so. Nice looking cigar you smoked, thanks for the pictures.

Hey Bill, this isn't my first review. I've done a review on the CAO Vision Prana, and the 5 Vegas Cask Strength II. I enjoy doing reviews, I'm just glad I found my camera again. So hopefully you'll get to see some more. But definately not as much as David (DBCigar) has been reviewing!

Re: 5 Vegas Relic Perfecto Pic. Review

Great review! I want to take a stab at why we all look angry when smoking. Its because you dont have as much left of the cigar as we did before the pic was taken
