Alternative for 5 Vegas Gold Maduro

arch72

I have tred and like the 5 Vegas Gold Maduro but they seem to always be out of stock. Does any know of a good alternative for it or better than it?

It's been forever since I had a 5v gold maduro... but price wise, the Padron (regular ol' brown label) maduros are comparable and fantastic. I'd personally take the padron over the 5v any day. Depending on the size, they can be like $3 ea.

A newer maduro that I like is the Fratello Bianco. It's a San Andreas wrapper, so it will be a little different than the 5V, but also has PA broadleaf in the filler (the 5v gold maddy is PA broadleaf wrapped). Very smooth for a SA wrapper. 

Other maduros I like are the crowned heads J.D. Howard (Brazilian -- sweeter and earthy) and Jericho Hill (another San Andreas -- spicy, dry, and strong!).

I just check out the Padron and they are 5.50 each and the Fratello Bianco are $8.25 but they both sound good but I would like a less expensive daily smoke but I will buy a fiver of both of those in the furture

 Give the Ramon Bueso Genesis a try. Also try the Ramon Bueso Olancho.

Yeah, the fratello, and Crowned heads will be in the $8-$9 range typically.  I like the Padron londres size (like a corona), which are 5 for $22 on ccom. 

Oh, I like the Brick house maduro (and regular) which are ab $5 ea too.

Those sound good thanks @Bob_Luken

I like the A. Turrent Triple Play. Filler, binder, wrapper, all maduro. I don't recall what I paid for them but I don't think they're expensive....

arch72

@jlmarta do you mean the 5 Vegas A?

I checked out the pricing and the Ramon Bueso Anthology Sampler is a great deal at $3.33 per cigar.

And, I really like the Odyssey too (connecticut wrapper). If you are patient you may also catch some of the Ramon Buesos on the daily deal and that means free shipping on your entire order if you bundle up those choices.

jlmarta

No. the brand name is A. Turrent. The blend is called Triple Play. If you google 'em you can learn all about 'em...

Yes I saw those on sale @Bob_Luken and put them on the list and I always get free shipping I don't order under $150.00 all the time. I got a code for 20% off from my last order so I am putting an order together for like $500.00

Never say that name! We always make some vague reference to them bastard folks if they must be referenced at all. Try this,.... "That deplorable cigar retailer whose name starts with a T" 

(My apologies to actual bastards.)

arch72

$500 go for the padron aniversarios! Maduro exclusivos are my go to for the most part...can't go wrong with them! But I'm quality over quantity so I'd rather have less great cigars then a ton of eh cigars. Although I do own a ton of dog rockets I like to give away on passes and trades

@Bob_Luken great description without using their name. I have on more than one occasion hung up on, and chewed out a telemarketer trying to sell memberships and more product the day after I placed an order. The last time this happened I said it would be the last time.  Can't stand that!!!
