5 vegas sampler

Depending on your taste, you could live the rest of your life with just these sticks because the represent a huge variety of strengths and wrappers. I love the whole 5 Vegas line and have most of them in stock at all times. You won't find too many guys here that have a bad thing to say about these.

Welcome to the forum my friend.

I really like the5 Vegas line. I find the Gold is a good breakfast smoke and the Classic is a great anytime smoke but my fav of the line at the moment is the Series A. I havent had a chance to try a Triple A yet but I am looking forward to picking up a few of them.

I don't smoke all of the 5 Vegas lines but I have smoked some that I enjoy. the A and AAA series are very good. Also find the Cask Strength very enjoyable.

I've got the 5 Vegas Legacy Humidor & 50 Cigar Combo on order...."is it here yet?" "is it here yet?" lol..

My take is the relic and cask are the best of the bunch. I like the classic but I've had several and after smoking several of cigar.com's Red label I have to give the red label the win. The vegas gold is pretty good and probably the cheapest creamy smoke I can think of unless you get a gurkha turk deal or something. The limitada 08's are also a good cigar, though I think the 09 and 07 worthy to mention but I don't think they hold up to the 08.

Opinions are like a$$holes, but I don't think the Red label compares to the 5V Classic, IMO the Classic is better all around. As far as the limitadas go, I think the '06 wins hands down, but the '08 is certainly good.

I just picked up an '08 in a trade, haven't smoked one yet. The '09 was good, but not anywhere are fabulous as the Relic of the Cask Strength II.

I really like the Cask Strength II. Dying to try a Relic. I have some of the A's but haven't had one yet. For the price you can't do better than 5 Vegas.

For my money, the Classic is right on with what I want in an everyday cigar. It has enough body and flavor to be an anytime cigar and is not at all cost prohibitive. Sure there are cigars I like more, but for $3 and change?, not too many I can think of that fit that bill. Overall they have a really solid lineup, I'm not crazy about the Relic only because I've had so many issues with it, only one of the 4 I've had burned well and had a good draw, aside from that I really like the flavor profile. And the Cask II is a solid and tasty cigar, no two ways about it.

I really want to like the relic, but I've never had a single one that had any kind of a draw. It was like trying to suck a super ball through a straw...I've had 5 of them and I have 2 more that have over a year of rest. The ones I've smoked were rested well too. I've tried dry boxing them, even keeping them out for awhile before I smoke. Nothing opens them up for me...

Did you cut the cap far enough in? Just asking because I've noticed that too with a lot of cigars in this shape. But cutting in a bit more fixes it most of the time.

Yep. Had to cut my Series V figurado three seperate times until the draw was right yesterday. Once it opened up - excellent.
