5 Vegas Series A Triple-A Maduro Review
This is my 1st ever attempt at a cigar review, so bear with me. This is a strange cigar selection for me to review because I am not a big 5 Vegas fan. I have heard good things about the Triple-A so I decided to give it a shot. I bought a 5er and these cigars have been resting for 60 days.
I like the look of the Trip A. It is a slightly firm, tightly wrapped Maduro that is a rich deep dark chocolate in color. The two bands are a gorgeous gold that really makes the chocolate pop. If you did not know better you might think the MSRP was greater than the $7.00 they ask for the stick. The scent before lighting is a little bland and disappointing. Nothing much there in the way of scent.
After lighting, you experience a nice smooth even draw. Nice flavors, typical of a decent Maduro, earthy and slightly sweet. Not really spicy or peppery like I like. Pretty mild, but still tasty.
Second 3rd the cigar begins to open up a bit. The espresso and cocoa flavors begin to shine through. Slight hints of pepper but still not as much as I hope for. Of course you also get bits of leather and oak. Although the right flavors are there, they dont stand out as much as I like. The cigar is still good, dont get me wrong.
The finally 3rd gets a little creamier and I begin to taste the flavors I enjoy in the last 3rd of a smoke. This is definitely the best 5 Vegas I have had so far. The draw and the burn have remained consistent throughout the cigar. If you are a fan of 5 Vegas, I think you will enjoy this smoke even more than I did.
Overall the experience was pleasant and I will smoke another. All in all I would say the 5 Vegas Series A Triple-A Maduro was a very good smoke, not great, but for the money, very good. I suggest you give one a try for yourself or if you have please let me know what you thought.
