5 Vegas Classic


A very, very nice cigar, the 5 Vegas Classic (Torpedo: 6" x 52) appealed to me from the moment I removed the wrapper.  Beautiful, and beautifully made, it just... smelled like it was going to be good.  I lit it unevenly but it burned slowly and coolly and eventually evened itself out.  The taste reminded me of leather, hickory smoke and a little vanilla.  It was quite smooth for a medium-bodied cigar.  Minus just a little for an uneven draw - some parts were too easy, some too tight.  Towards the end it was difficult to keep lit.  But very enjoyable overall.
