5 Vegas Gold Maduro (Box Press) Review

Odd you bring this up because last night, while outside I was trying to enjoy one myself. I got a 5 pack as well, they have been sitting in my humidor for about a month now. Mine tunneled horrible and I had to babysit it until I got it to the nub. Flavor wise...MEH. I wouldn't turn it down if it was offered to me but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy one. The ash was bad, not very strong. I had a JdN after it, thinking there might be something going on with my humidor but I had a perfect smoke with it....so idk. I never had any of the 5 vegas, and i figured I like maduros, why not try? Seemed to be a bust. I'll leave the other 4 in my humidor for awhile and try again.

i feel your pain... and i bought a ten pack, lol, tried em 4 times in the last 3 months and they all sucked. i had construction issues with all but one, and its the only 5v ive had that i didnt like.

Honestly I haven't had anything from 5 Vegas I would buy! For the money there are far superior sticks out there! For the money and time I'd rather have a padron thousand series!! Cheaper and much better quality and with age far better!

I have always been a fan of the gold maduros...not the box but just the regular Toros. I have never had a problem with them at all.

If you are seriously getting a few of those bramds under 2 per stick REGULARLY that's impressive. Even bidding I pay a bit more. Particularly LHC core, MOW Ruination. I had a steal of a deal on Core Robos and got a box for 80 bucks but haven't seen less(including the box which is beauty].

I bought a 5 Vegas box press sampler and all of them were absolutely disgusting, only cigar I stopped half through and threw it in the trash. That said, I had a 5 vegas LE 2011 last night that was really good.

Just a follow up on this thread. I bought a ten pack of these things on CigarSprint and I am completely disappointed. Well I am new to cigars, I have never seen as many cigars with such poor quality rolls and burn issues as I've seen with these. Flavor wasn't bad but the burn issues just make these impossible to smoke. Only have a 50 stick humidor, its currently full, and I do not see any reason to let these things continue keeping up valuable space, so I am investing in a tupperdore for aging sticks like this and see what some time does for them.

I just had my first one yesterday. It was the regular toro, not the pressed, and I also thought it was pretty good. My only criticism was the draw on the first 3rd was a bit of work, but once it warmed up it was fine. The wrapper was particularly nice and had a very luxurious feel to it. Not harsh at all, and almost no notes of pepper to be found. Pretty smooth IMO. Guess I had better try another and make sure....

I had a robusto recently on the golf course. I was a little unsure of what to expect. I like the 5V gold. I was concerned because I also like the CAO gold, but despised the CAO gold maduro. Overall I thought it was ok, not bad. It was a good golf cigar. I still like the regular gold better.

Well here's another one I was hoping to see good reviews on. Looks like I'll pass on this. But my 2 cents I think 5 Vega makes a fine product. I love the classic especially in a corona. And the A and AAA are fantastic and let's not forget the Cask Strength. Haven't had the high primings or Miami yet but I'm planning on it.

Worst of the 5V I have had as well.... over a year ago but I wont try again. I do like the 5V Classic as a nice stick that has never disappointed me.
