    they need age.
    i mean, serious age.
    i dont like them fresh. they are decent when aged a bit.
    im trying to get a few to 5 years and i can give you an opinion then.

    I've only tried one but it was one of the worst cigars I've ever tried. It could have been an anomoly. I'm not planning on trying another.

    it tasted a bit like ammonia? hind of harsh? burn issues?
    this is why i think after a few years of age it will even out and get better.

    I had one ROTT, and I actually enjoyed it; just a little tight draw, which i expected havig been in a ups truck for 3 days. I remember it having a distinctive sweet characteristic... Ill smoke another this week and give an update, its been about 4-5 months

    I love these sticks! For me, the secret is dry-boxing. The cigar is so oily that it needs up to a few days out of the regular humidor to burn properly. You can put it in an un-humidified humidor, but a simple wooden cigar box (Cedar lined...) will do nicely. You don't want to leave it on the counter, or where the sun can get to it.

    I know many of you are not fans of dry-boxing your cigars, but this is one that will burn better, draw better and taste better after a few days out of your humidor.
    And I agree 100% that this is a cigar to age!!

    Had a couple IMO its 5 Vegas and I'm not a fan. But forthe most part it was one of the better ones
    Money can't buy taste

    I'm a 5 vegas fan. It was one of the first samplers I ever bought and still continue to buy. relics I do dry box them and enjoy them. burn issues are nothing like the gold maduro. for those who dont like 5 vegas give the A/AAA line a shot. Its the best in their line up IMO. Miami and cask are also good.

    I'm only a fan of he Miami's, limited's, AAA and the cask. I really don't care about the other 5 Vegas

    I had a relic this morning that had about 5 months on it. Burn got a little wonky at the end, but it tasted great!
