5 Vegas Gold Maduro

Hailing from Nicaragua, the 5 Vegas Gold Maduro was created under the legendary Nestor Plasencia Jr. at his massive Segovia factory where he has created a bold yet remarkably smooth classic. This maduro is filled to the brim with triple fermented Cuban-seed Honduran and Nicaraguan long fillers with a Honduran binder. What makes this cigar inimitable is that it is dressed in a dark and oily Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper from the United States which gives this cigar a maduro sweetness with every puff and a warm homey aroma that ensures a luxurious sensory experience. The smoke starts with a charcoal like aroma that is thick with a chewy feel on the palate with hints of white pepper. It will open up with strong notes of coffee and dark tobacco which is buttery-smooth. In the final third, you will find hints of oak with coffee remaining a key player. Overall, the coffee, toast, oak, dark tobacco, and sweetness will leave you wanting more. Perfect for any occasion, we find that this mild-medium cigar pairs great with cola.

Honduras has been a tobacco growing and cigar manufacturing area for hundreds of years, but it was the Communist revolution in Cuba that really put Honduras on the map. In the 1960s, many Cuban cigar makers fled their homeland and arrived in Honduras to re-establish their way of life. The immigrants took advantage of the climate, soil, and geography, which were well-suited to tobacco growing, and began producing high quality cigars. The center of the Honduran cigar industry is the city of Danli and the nearby Jamastran Valley. The majority of the world’s pure Corojo tobacco is grown here, now that Cuba has stopped production of this iconic, spicy, and rich variety in favor of Corojo hybrids. Other important areas of Honduran cigar production include the Talanga Valley, Copan, and Trojes.
