BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Gurkha Centurian, 5 Vegas Cask
- Thread starter RigilKent
- Start date
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.
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
how sweet. :rofl: thanks man let me know if it mellowed out a bit.

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.
