5 vegas.....not impressed
i ordered the 2009 5 vegas box special a month or so ago and so far smoked the gold and cask strength.
so far i am not impressed at all. the gold probably more because the flavors just didnt seem to mesh well IMO
the cask strength was okay for a smoke but i bet i had to touch it up 5 times before i finished it. terrible terrible burn.

give them time. let them rest. when you pull em out in october around the campfire you will be pleasantly surprised.
My only problem with the Classic is, as already mentioned, inconsistent construction. I've had good luck with the torpedo, and decent luck with the panatela, but I think every 55 I've smoked has been seriously underfilled. For about the same money, I can get an Uppman, which, to me, has a similar, very traditional flavor profile (which is what I like about both), and are always well made.
So I dont smoke all that often. maybe 1-2 per week, more during spring and summer. so spending a few dollars more per cigar doesnt really bother me. Say I spend $3 more per cigar thats only $75-100 per year which really isnt over the top.
If I liked them, I would smoke them at any reasonable price point. I like Nub that is a fairly reasonable price on the DD here. But basically these guys here keep us rolling in premiums for cheap so Im not compaining at all. Without Ccom I wouldnt have tried most of the brands I now Know and love.
without the good people on the forum i wouldnt have tried as many brands as i have. the PIF and the games and contests all introduced me to many, many brands.
All part of Ccom, I credit them for this too. I have tried quite a few great sticks from all the fun games here!
I have also not tried the Relic, or the Limitada 09. As for the Limitada, I have only one each left of the Limitada 05, 06 and 07, and liked them all.
The 'A' is probably my least favorite of all the ones I've had. Just goes to show, YMMV when it comes to anything subjective!
