I have approximatle 70 Gurkha centurians aging away. A very nice smoke. Great deals to be had on CBid.

I bought a box of the Cask Strength and did not enjoy them at all. I smoked maybe four cigars and gave the rest away. They were very harsh...almost seemed cheap. That has been my one and only 5 Vegas experience.

although I don't have as many aging as Chuck, The Centurian is one fine smoke and if you can get them for under $5/stick, you will have yourself an hour to an hour and a half of very enjoyable smoke time. No leather or spice, which is not in my flavor sweet spot. More of a creamy, earthy flavor.

The Gurkha is a great smoke and on the right day I see the 6-packs going for < 30 bucks on C-bid. I'm all out, but will be buying more someday. Pick these up for sure.

I bought a box of the Cask Strength. They're were on the harsh side last time I smoked one. I've had the rest of the box chilling for about a year now and haven't smoked one again since summer sometime. So just for you I will bust one out and give it another shot.:gangfire: ha ha ha

You can always try the 5 Vegas A line.

I have liked all the 5 Vegas I have had more the longer I have had them. Lately I still buy them when I can get a deal, but I mostly put them down and smoke only the ones i have had for months. No problems that way.

I figure, with the prices you can get them for, waiting a few months costs me nothing, and when they emerge they are like more pricey stuff. Not all cigars I have found age as well as others, but the 5 Vegas age very well, and improve a lot in a few months to a year at 65%.

Gurkhas, some I like and some I hate, and I have never had the Centurions, so can't be any help there.

So I smoked one of my Cask Strength sticks last night. It did mellow out a ton and had a woody flavor. It didn't really seem to change in flavor and was pretty one dimensional. I still enjoyed it though. If you can get them for a deal go for it.
