5 Vegas Miami

in Ratings & Reviews
For those looking for an everyday affordable smoke I would recommend the 5 Vegas Miami.  I recently purchased 10 from the daily deal and have really enjoyed them.  They have a nice draw, slightly firm allowing some resistance with a large amount of rich smoke.  The flavor is consistent throughout and is medium is strength.  If you can pick some up on a discount you will not be disappointed!  I have the Torpedo (6.1 X 52)

    I agree on the everyday smoke. What's unique about them, to me, is they don't taste like anything else I have or have tried. The Knuckle is a good size too for those who like a bigger ring guage.

    I also really dig on the 5 vegas miami. They really dont taste like anything ive had before and cant really pinpoint why that is. It's an awesome blend!

    The Miami is one of the blends I'm not that crazy about...I think it is good, and I do like it somewhat, but in my opinion it's not as good as most of the other blends. The only ones I like less are the Relic and Limitada '07...which are not bad in their own right, but they just don't give me that wow factor that the other blends do. That said, there's not a single 5 Vegas blend that I don't like.

    j0z3r, Obviously you've smoked too many Puros as it seems to have burned your taste buds! Everything I like or dislike your the complete opposite....So I'll say I hate Swisher Sweets (I really do). Lets hear how much you like them!! JK!!!

    Same here. I don't dislike them, but they're my least favorite 5 Vegas and my least favorite Pepin so far. There's a couple of each I haven't gotten around to, but that's where the Miami falls for me, so far.

    I am quite fond of these sticks, it is one of my favorites. Has anybody ever had the special edition, is it just a special size or does it have a special blend as well?

    When approaching the last third it is good to let the cigar rest for a bit to let it cool down. This has helped alot with maintaining the same flavor.

    I had a 5 Vegas over the weekend, not a bad smoke. Hot a tad hot at the end, but I just let it rest and it tasted better after that all the way down to the nub.

    I really enjoyed this one. Was smooth all the way down. May have to make this my first full box purchase. Any recomendations to similar sticks?

    Hey western...Don Pepin also blends the cigar.com corojo label which for its price is a great deal.  Most Pepin's have a distinct black pepper taste intermingled with earth and leather, but the 5V Miami and the CCOM Corojo label are kind of toned down from his other lines. I can never get the corojo label to burn correct but for the price I deal with it. Box worthy at the price!

    I had a Miami on the fourth, and i was happy with it. It was a petite corona, which is a size I'd never had before, and I have to say I'm a fan. It's nice to be able to enjoy a smoke with a reasonable burn time

    Thanks for the info buddy I got the big house sampler deal. I'll have to fire up one of corojo labels going tomorrow.

    No prob brother...the house sampler is one of the first things I ever bought at ccom, needless to say it was a good place to start!  It seems that most guys like the purple label connie, but I found the blue label to be a bit tastier. The brazilian label is very complex and satisfying, and the cuban label can be a good change of pace if your in the mood for that sweet tasting tobacco.
