Thumbs down 5 Vegas series A artisan Review

Well I went out for a wintery smoke here in Florida, and man was I disappointed. I have had many of the Series A before including this size, and up to this point they have all been good. I have to say though I spent more time bundling up to stay warm than I smoking this thing. The first couple draws seemed very promising with very rich flavor, but after about a half inch this was just all downhill. All I could really compare it to was smoke fresh green grass (not the good kind). It just tasted green and a bad type of vegetal. This one came in a fiver and I think I have smoked the rest, all with a good result, this one just tasted like @$$. I put it out after about 1 inch

Nothing against 5 vegas, they have done me good in the past, but I just got a bad stick and had to tell someone about it.

Re: 5 Vegas series A artisan

Never had a bad one, but I haven't had very many. There is the chance with any cigar that you will get a bad one. After a crap smoke I always follow up with a consistent old favorite of mine that I know I will enjoy!

My thoughts as well. I've never had a bad series A, or even hear of anyone having a bad one. GIve it a bit of rest, may make it better...

Re: 5 Vegas series A artisan

bundling up in Florida?

I'm not a big fan of green smoke.

Re: 5 Vegas series A artisan

I've only experienced the draw problems in the Series A, not the flavor problem (yet). I bought a draw poker just in case it happens again.
