I was talking with one of my smoking buddies about 5 Vegas and the question came up of where the heck these guys are located. I didn't have an answer and their site doesn't say much, any know where these guys are at?

    I believe they used to be a Cuban brand but are now in Honduras. I may be wrong about that though.

    Is it Don Pepin Garcia involved in producing - these I think ...

    Dpg is involved with the 5v Miami but I think that's about it. I know that the placencias are in there somewhere too. I've also heard that a competitor of ccom owns 5v but I'm not sure how true that one is.

    Hey Garen, I did a quick Wikipedia search and a review site, on 5 Vegas that had limited information but claims that the original is made for the owner of " an online retailer " that bought the line after it appeared to be failing during the cigar boom/bust. It is now made by Nestor Plasencia, with the exception of the many special edition cigars which are made by various manufacturers. I'm like 'em so I am pleased to still have them available.

    Thanks for the info Kas, I like em too, that's how it ended up coming up and when my buddy asked me to tell him about them, I realized that I didn't know much about them aside from liking most of the cigars they put out.
