5 Vegas Gold

robert69165 · March 2009

I am sitting here tapping away on the computer drinking a cup of coffee and smoking a 5 Vegas Gold (gold label) and let me say this is one good cigar! Very smooth and aromatic, pleasant after taste. I reccomend this ciger to anyone new to cigars (like myself). Thanks for your time. Robert

5 vegas is a great line....the Classic is the best one IMO.....yesterday cigar.com had a great deal..6 gold, 6 classic, $25...

5 Vegas Gold is my favorite mild cigar, and my favorite Connecticut-wrapped cigar.

so far I would say this is the way I feel too. I do like the gurkha turk a bit more. both great cigars.

I have to say that I am not a big fan of connecticut wrappers but I did thuroughly enjoy this one.

Haven't had the Turk.. There are actually very few Connecticut-wrapped cigars that I actually enjoy.

I would say that if you like the gold you'll like the turk. I think the turk has more complex flavor.

I love this line, but I'm down to my last Classic and my last 3 Golds, going to be a sad day when I run out. Oddly enough I think that the CAO Gold or the Nub Connie might be my favorite connecticut wrapped stogies.

Better than Nub Conn?

I definately think the 5 Vegas Gold is better than the Nub. The only Conny I can think of that may be better IMO is the Gurkha Symphony, but then I haven't had the Turk yet.

i think the nub is better IMHO

Same idea here. I used to really enjoy dominican connecticuts, but now....its so bland and basic that im bored with it after the first inch. I think vegas nailed the trick in that it benefits in the fact that that their connecticut is primarily composed with honduran filler, which keeps it exciting enough to enjoy, while still being mild-mannered.

I mean, look at the ghurka symphony, another mild mannered winner, connecticut with nicaraguan/dom filler. I think the takeaway is that milds that still offer a bang for your buck include some honduran or nicaraguan blend in their sticks. I think some of the old established D.R. companies should consider that fact.

Hey Vidarien, I would ask where the Connie wrapper was grown. I'm guessing Ecuador on the ones I've liked the best. Haven't had the Nub Connie yet, but probably will within the next week or so. It's just sitting in there on top, looking at me every time I walk by

I didn't care for the Nub Conn at all. There are several Connies I like -- some a great deal -- but the Nub isn't one of them. I'd take the 5 Vegas Gold.

brc81 · March 2009

I've only had the Churchill of the 5 Vegas Gold and was disappointed. I found it to be bland and nearly flavorless. I've been told that the smaller sticks such as the robusto and nugget are better. I recently got a nugget in a trade and looking forward to trying it.

dutyje · March 2009

I just lit up the Nub Connie torpedo tonight, and I would like to revise my vote. THIS is now my favorite Connecticut-wrapped cigar. The flavor was all there, and so unbelievably smooth.. like smoking butter.

I thought you said a week.. Time flies when you get a cigar on your mind.

I just finished a 5 Vegas Nugget that I received a few days ago in a trade. They are alot better than the Churchill. It had alot more flavor than I remember from the churchill.

The 5V Gold is a decent smoke if you like mild cigars and the price is pretty decent too. I tend to favor the Classic and the "A". I need to try a Miami.
