5 Vegas Gold
Country of Origin: Honduras (Wrapper: Ecuador, Connecticut; Binder: Honduras; Filler: Nicaragua, Honduras).
Size: Churchill, 7 x 50
Date: 3/8/2011
Notes:
This cigar is considered a mild, everyday cigar. Mild to medium bodied, but also reasonably priced. I think out of all the "Gold" cigars I have tried (CAO Gold, Macanudo Gold), this one gives you the best smoke for your dollar. I drove up to Porterhouse in White Plains (on Mamaroneck Avenue, a vast selection of beers and some pretty tasty food too). They are somewhat cigar-friendly (you can still smoke on their patio which is dotted by heating lamps), and met up with a dear friend. We drank some Paulaner Hefeweisens and enjoyed the 5 Vegas Gold. This is definitely a beer cigar. The Hefeweisen is also not a heavy beer, which complimented the cigar nicely.
Well constructed, good draw and mild taste, but considering the price, I would prefer this cigar over the CAO and Macanudo versions.
Overall: 7/10 (a nice afternoon cigar)
