5 vegas golds

Try a quick "Purge." Might help to even that beast out.

Am I losing my Mind?

you may be losing your mind but that is unrelated to this.

is there a big difference in the humidity from the humidor to the great outdoors? are you smoking your cigar with a dry grip? if you tend to get your cigar wet as you smoke this could be a problem. how is it cut? if you punch with too small of a ring cutter then you may have a bit of an issue.

I have had a few of these in the past few months and the same thing happened to me with the last one. It was almost tart.

I tried the 5 Vegas Gold and decided they were harsh, too. My son bought 2 boxes of them and likes them quite well. I haven't noticed the bit about oils or tar but I did notice that they burn fairly rapidly like they were dry but they've been in my 65% coolidor for a couple months. Oughta smoke better than they do.

I've decided I like the CAO Golds much better. And I have a 5-pack of Gurkha Park Avenue churchills on the way and I'm told they compare favorably with the CAO Golds.

I had a CAO Gold a couple of weeks ago. I had heard it was a Mild cigar. It was the most harsh cigar I have tried so far. 24 hours later I could still taste it and felt like i had just chewed the thing up instead of smoking it. I have not had a 5 Vegas Gold, but seeing above seems like might have the same issue.

The last couple 5V Golds I've had have been a bit acrid and not enjoyable, I've got one kicking around that I'll try, and if it's no good it may be my last...there are too many cigars out there to waste time with bad performers.

Yeah Joe this one is weird..... I loved every 5 Vegas Gold I have had until this one, it has definatley changed my Attitude on them.
I dont claim to have a great Pallet but I am developing my pallet and i seem to be changing from mild to more mediums, I have been loving some maduros and corojos,.......
Time will tell..... for me

Hmm, if it's only one it could just be a bad one. They are hand made, after all. I've got a bunch left from last summer - I suppose I should have one in the morning and see how it smokes!

This is disappointing, 5Vegas gold has been on my 'to try' list for quite a while and I'm finally making some room in my humi(s). Bummer. Looks like I might pass and try a different new mild.

Don't pass...it's a good stick, and definitely worth your dollars to try.

Absolutely, I got 10 of these a few weeks ago and am down to 5...YIKES

I have had 20 of these and this was my first real bagger so maybe it was just a bad cigar.... i have 3 more and will continue tio give it a shot.

Definitely don't shy away from this one. Call Jeff Jackson over at ccom and ask him if he can get you a special price on the Golds. Great cigar, and super cheap.

Okay, okay. I've got some Golds on the way, they should be here soon. I've been looking forward to these. After a little post-shipping rest in the humi I'll fire one up and let you all know how it was. I'm psyched!

I had A 5 Vegas Gold this weekend, while i had my first a few months ago and it was good this one SUCKED! to tight to draw even a whisp, sour tasting, terrible burn...was pissed... then I had a rocky patel CT that was everything a good CT should be and felt much better!
