CI's daily deal suckered me in again, and I got ten of them in the mail yesterday. I wanted to buy a box when my tax money came in- I'm glad I didn't. The pre-light draw was on the tight side with a faint menthol aroma. Construction was good with no soft spots. I will admit I am somewhat of a newbie, but I think it was a little too moist and a little rest would made a world of difference. The burn was even for the most part with only a couple of touch ups. The flavor to me was for the most part one demensional. The smoke was very light- kind of like there was a hole in the stick, but I don't think that was the case. Hopefully a little time in the humi will give them a chance to think about what they have done wrong, and smoke like a good tasty cigar next time. The only reason I posted a review on a cigar I didn't really enjoy was I couldn't find one- even googled it. Anyone else tried one?

I'm not a fan of most of the Vegas line. Pepin does the Miami. That one is ok. If you were to get any of the I'd recommend the "A".

I have had a couple of the miami and thought they were good. Like I said hopefully it is a humidifacation issue with the 08's

I liked the '07 better. I've never been a big Vegas fan. I go to CI a lot. If there is a problem with their products they make good on it.

I don't think CI is at fault here. They weren't soggy wet just a little too moist for my likeing. The moisture wasn't too big of a concearn, I was just hopeing it was the cause of the flavor/lack of smoke issues.
