5 Vegas

5 Vegas was recently hailed as the best non-Cuban cigar in a Cigar Aficionado tasting, and the delicious Torpedo has scored an outstanding ‘90’, and the brand is repeatedly rated in the high 80s. The line is rolled with a combination of Indonesian Olor binder, Dominican Piloto Cubano filler and Indonesian Sumatran wrapper tobaccos. 5 Vegas (pronounced Cinco Vegas) is a medium to full-bodied delicious premium with a creamy and smooth character, reminiscent of old Cuba. The name 5 Vegas comes from the legend behind the brand's origin, when 5 renowned tobacco farmers in old Cuba took leaves from each of their fields (known as "vegas") and blended them to create this unique blend. Now rolled in Esteli, Nicaragua, this brand is one of the finer cigars in the marketplace.

Immediately not solid construction on this well crafted tobacco-packed smoke. Its ruddy Sumatran wrapper begs you to light it. We found it medium to full bodied and packed with flavor. Look for earthy tones as well as a hint of coffee bean. Overall, a strong herbal character dominates and some spices become evident as you get into the cigar a bit. We think you’re gonna really like it! Consider pairing it with a tawny port.
