5 Vegas Classic

5 Vegas Classic After cutting this cigar with my new guillotine cutter I gave it a pre light puff and found the draw to be very loose. I then lit it up and was greeted with a slight peppery taste with a short finish but not much smoke. This cigar was smoked on my patio while I burned a fire in the fire pit. I paired it with a Bud Light. The cigar was pretty mellow at first and still produced very little smoke. There may have been a pin sized hole in the first third of the wrapper.

The second third was great with plenty of smoke. The last third was perfect. Overall, this was a pretty mellow cigar with nothing negative to say about it.

From Cigars International:

5 Vegas is an exceptional smoke, rated the highest non-Cuban cigar in a Cigar Aficionado blind taste test.

5 Vegas is quietly one of the most consistently delicious and reasonably-priced cigars on the market. A robust and creamy medium to full-bodied taste, extensive aging, and a nice blend of Cuban seed Nicaraguan and Dominican long leaves, all wrapped in a dark and rich Sumatra wrapper leaf. Cigar Aficionado has praised 5 Vegas repeatedly, and among the consistently strong ratings are a 90, 88, and 87.
