....has a black band. From what I can see (my reading comprehension has been slipping) the blue band is no longer available (I think). I am very depressed and having bad thoughts over letting an untried 5 Vegas get by me. If anyone has one (any size) that they are willing to sell or trade please PM me.

Thank You. -
Bought a box of the OR DPG blended Toro's and have maybe one left, what a fantastic cigar. The only ones I picked up after the Toro's was the Knuckle but it didn't get good until after 18 months in the humi. Have had my current batch for about a year now but don't know if they are the blend I liked. I'll try and smoke one soon and if it isn't my cup of tea anymore, I'll offer them up

If i remember correctly, the very first 5V Miami's were produced in Miami... somewhere along the way they switched to Nicaragua and quit releasing the "actual Miami" Miami's which I believe had shaggy feet.. I am not sure how the blue-band blend compares to this, but I'd be excited to try it. Their not mentioning DPG is a little strange since I though he blended (or was in on) the blue-band.

Wrapper: Nicaraguan Corojo
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Cuban-seed Nicaraguan, Cuban-seed Dominican
New Black band:
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
i wasnt a huge fan of the original one. apperently not many were so they had to re blend it... or in fairness, maybe a tobacco became more difficult to get, or a contract ran out. not much we can do about it now.
the blue band was made by DPG and they probably didnt mention it because he is no longer involved.
i suspect that the My Father factory wasnt making money on the original line of the Miami and they decided to cut ties with 5 Vegas as a business decision. so if 5 vegas wanted to continue the miami line they would have to reblend.
i have a feeling i wont like the new 5 Vegas miami either.
i mean, how many cigars can we have that are Ecuadorian wrapped Nicaraguan filler? there are tons of them. i have a feeling this is going to be a fairly average cigar at best. -
The original release mini corona at 4.5x44 was great as a short smoke. Sadly, I see that there are no more smaller sizes than the robusto. Instead they sell the gordo size that panders to the bigger-is-better crowd... I hope the rest of the 5 Vegas line doesn't go that route.

Thanks, Kuz. I was on my phone with spotty internet and couldn't really research to compare. I agree... I love corojo wrappers and the mix filler made it interesting. Now it just sounds like another Nic cigar... not bad, but not special.kuzi16:

CCom informs me the 5 Vegas Miami will be in stock in a few weeks. He did not know if it would be the blue or black band. I'm thinking black and it will be made in Miami as far as anyone knows.

Email Tim B if you want the DPG Miami's. I'm sure if you want the blacks they will have them soon. They follow the sister by about a month on all the new stuff.jd50ae:CCom informs me the 5 Vegas Miami will be in stock in a few weeks. He did not know if it would be the blue or black band.

Cigars Intl --- Proudly made in America. Welcome to Miami. Or more specifically, welcome to 5 Vegas Miami. If you’re a regular around these parts, you’re probably quite familiar with that name. But here’s my big, ironic surprise: 5 Vegas Miami is now actually made in Miami….right here in the good ol’ USA. The blend is better yet the price remained the same, an inconceivable outcome considering the drastically different economics of making a cigar in America versus Nicaragua. Don’t take my word, the proof is within every box. Just prepare to be impressed. The new and improved 5 Vegas Miami is handcrafted in Miami, USA at Gran Habano’s factory in Miami’s cigar center, Calle Ocho. Outdoing the original blend seemed impossible, but owner and master blender George Rico succeeded with ease. Utilizing a vintage, Cuban-seed blend of Nicaraguan long-fillers and an oily and golden brown Habano Ecuador wrapper, this Miami-made beauty delivers a quintessentially Cuban-esque profile that’s layered with notes of pepper, earth, nuts, and a toasty-sweet finish. It’s bold, but perfectly balanced and brimming with flavor. My advice: smoke it slow and take it all in. Legally, this might be as close as you’ll get to that island’s forbidden wares. Keeping all the jobs and business in the USA is just icing on the cake. -

I never ever ever buy the "cuban-esque" garbage.kuzi16:CI:...this Miami-made beauty delivers a quintessentially Cuban-esque profile that’s layered with notes of pepper, earth, nuts, and a toasty-sweet finish.

I can count on one hand how many non-Cuban cigars I've smoked that taste Cuban-esque.Gray4lines:I never ever ever buy the "cuban-esque" garbage.
I can also count on one hand the Cuban sticks I've had that have completely blown me away.
I bought a fiver of 5V Miami way back in my early days. Not my style, at least back then. Super peppery and not balanced. I would revisit them now but I didn't lose sleep when they disappeared. I wouldn't lose sleep if the whole 5V brand disappeared, honestly. They aren't bad, I just don't search them out to smoke. -
id miss the "AAA"

I've only ever smoked one of those Matt. I liked it. I also liked the 5V Classic (red label) but I just don't get to smoke very often anymore and my tastes have changed. You ever notice that it is usually budget brands / lines that talk about Cubanesque.
