5 Vegas Gold

Posted by admin On September - 30 - 2008

Size: 6.0 X 50

$3.50-4.50 range

Tobacco blend:

Wrapper: Connecticut Shade
Filler: Dominican, Honduran Blend

Context:

Most purest may think that doing a cigar review at a tailgate is a recipe for disaster. Well, most of the time it probably is but I think I pulled this one off alright. This cigar was the first item on my menu. It was not to hot or humid outside and there was a nice breeze.

Look and feel:

The wrapper color was light tan and the construction was solid and smooth.

Aroma and Taste:

It almost has a sweet smell before lighting but after it was close to the mildest and tasteless cigar I’ve ever had. I was dissapointed that it had so little flavor. I really don’t have much to add here as it was really just a very mild cigar that some people might think is a good beginner cigar.

Light, Cut & Draw:

  • The light: a butane single jet and the light was even, no relighting needed.
  • The cut: a guillotine straight cut.
  • The Draw: an even draw with little effort.

RATING: 6.5 (on a scale of 1 to 10)

I am rating this one low because I didn’t really enoy this one but I’m not going to low because I can see that some people who really like mild cigars or new cigar smokers might want to try it out. However, in my opinion I don’t really like to waste the time with out having some flavor in return.
