5 Vegas Gold

[soonerwings]

So in the last week I've had two of these cigars.

The first was simply horrible. It was harsh and bitter and truth be told I couldn't stand smoking the thing for more than 10 minutes before I gave up.

The second was....meh. It burned evenly and was fairly smooth for a cheap cigar but had very little flavor. Both had cigars had a fairly tight draw. IMO you're better off going for an Ashton or Man O War Virtue. They're a few dollars more but well worth it.

On a positive note, the blue moon summer honey wheat beer is amazing.

i had a sampler with a 5 vegas in it, I read reviews on it and had no desire to smoke it so I through it in the humi for about 5 months before I got the courage to smoke it. I smoked it while it was at optimum moisture etc and it was forgettable to say the least and also bitter in some places like you mentioned. The filler just lacked quality imo but good marketing does wonders.

If I need a good regular smoke I'll stick with my Oliva's, they have never let me down for a cheap/medium stick.

Flor de Olivas have been my favorite every day smoke for quite awhile and I always keep a bundle in the humidor.
