    Default Newbee Review: 5 Vegas Gold No. 1

    There are a lot of good reasons to ditch school/work, and a cigar is as good as any.

    I have a couple stashed away a bit, about 3-4 months. The construction of this thing is great. At 7.5x54, I have yet to finish a one in a single session. Burn was great, even itself out, even with my bad lighting. Draw was great. Ash about 2".

    Taste was mild, some might say overly. Creamy, toasty, with a little bit of bite. Had it with my morning coffee I thought it was the best thing. Not a complex stick by any means, but sometimes we all could do with a little less sophistication in our mornings.
    A good book, a cigar, and a nice tall glass of STFU.

    So true. I think my new favorite quote is: "There is no amount of work that a man won't do if it's not the work he's suppose to be doing."

    Tell me that this doesn't mean you stick it somewhere and light it back up again later.

    i liked these cigars when i was first starting but now find them a bit mild... the A's are quite good as well, though i can't smoke them very often

    ahh my bad, i wasn't referring to the A's being too strong, i meant not often because the taste is pretty unique and i only like it when i'm in the mood for it, sorry for the mix up

    First time I had a maduro I damn near passed out.

    I just had a "fresh" Vegas Gold robusto, from my CI brownbag, and it was a world of difference. I can say with certainty that all reviews about the Gold being overly mild and tasteless refers, to a fresh stick. It was a bit on the dry side, but all it gave me was a buttery aftertaste, with no flavor to boot. With a little bit of faith and resolute, and unyielding puffing, it gave off a tiniest bit of spice around the second third. After that I just had to give up and toss it.

    I like the sticks I have sitting in the humi for 4-5 months; the 5 Vegas Gold absolutely needs humidor time to be a good nild smoke.

    I smoked a robusto of these today, and I really enjoyed it. It had a lot of nut and creamy flavors. It was one of the best 'mild' cigars I've had recently.
