I have been thinking about getting some to try but i wanted to see what people thought of them before i went ahead and got some. Also what other 5 vegas people recommend i have had the 5 vegas series 'A' archetype and i liked it but i haven't had any other 5 vegas and i just wanted to see what others thought some of the good ones were.
Thanks,
Brian

    I am a fan of the Miami. They are my favorite 5 Vegas but I am also an unabashed Pepin fan so I may be a bit biased.

    I really like the classic as well. Had my first 'A' this past weekend and really liked it but still liked the classic and Miami better. I have a bunch of Miami's if you want to make a small trade. Shoot me a PM if you are interested.

    I personally like the miami as well. I've got a bunch in the humi right now and actually just burned one the other day. Nice flavor profile...its got a rich taste, I find it hard to put down at times.

    I also have some casks i'm waiting to try as well as a small shipment of cask II's coming. Kuzi if your interested I might have a few I'm willing to part with.

    The Miami is a great stick. Try the knuckle as I believe this is the best of the bunch.

    This post has gone cold - sorry - but I just read it... :)

    They had a deal on the 5 Vegas Miami a few months ago at various places. I picked up quite a few and loved 'em then. I just tried another today and still thought it was great. I followed that up with a box pressed classic and it was good also, but it wasn't the Miami. The Miami had just a more distinctive flavor and a more medium full body than the classic. If you can be more medium full. Actually I guess the classic is medium to me. The Miami just had more of a nutty, cederesque, little pepper, little leather kind of flavor with a bigger finish... I thought the knuckle had just more spice. A little bitter spice before my humi settled down. Like spice - don't like bitter (usually for me the key to slow down) Yes, I liked the Knuckles enough to order 36.

    On a different note - I shouldn't mention this - but CI had a Joe's special on the Cask Strength 2. I believe it was 10 for 29 bucks. I wasn't impressed with the one I smoked, but thought perhaps If let 'em sit in the Humi they would get better. I just wasn't impressed enough to pull the trigger. Sorry Kuzi - I should have dropped a line...

    I think the Miami is a tasty smoke, though i've not had enough to form a good opinion as of yet.

    The 'A', especially the little anomaly, is fantastic for the price. The limitada '06 was my favorite of the bunch, the '07 was very inconsistent with the few i had and wasn't that good even when i got the decent ones. Classics are a decent medium stick, nothing special but not bad. The Miami i've only had in a pc, which was rather tasty, but i only had one so i can't really comment on it too much.
