5 Vegas Cask-Strength

[Cabaiguan Juan]

I had another yesterday. Its good, but I'd put it in the golf cigar catigory. It was tasty, but uneven burn and seemed to with stand some abuse. I'd enjoy it while golfing definatly, but when I want to sit down and enjoy a cigar, I'd grab something else.

Having thusly embarrassed myself by admitting to buying two boxes untried, I'm hardly in a mood for any further introduction. I guess I just fell for the CI hoopla and figured they had to be good. I can't think of another cigar I have that I would be less likely to smoke. As for use on the golf course, things are tough enough out there sometimes without ruining a round with an inferior smoke. On the course, I usually have something like a La Flor DL 700, an Illusione 2/4g, or is that 4/2g?, or a Don Pepin Blue Label. If I play in the morning, I'll usually start with an Olive Serie O, because it is a nice light start. I walked up on the fairway near my house with a Cask Strength, was really prepared to enjoy it, really wanted to, and just couldn't sense anything. Maybe if they had rested in the humidor a while, they might have improved. Now, I'll never know, but I don't miss them. The gold label was just as bad and even lighter.
