It's not very often that I see a new cigar that I really want to try. The 5 Vegas Relic, however, is one of the ones I want to try. Has anyone had one yet? If so how was it?

I havn't tried these yet, but I like the 5 vegas gold and the cask strength so I'll probably give them a shot down the road sometime.

Neat box presentation if your looking for something different. I'll give them that.

Nice looking box and presentation. Starting to be too many types of 5 Vegas out on the market now.

I've got 5 in the cooler. Planning to let them sit for a little while to recover from shipping, CI always sends them so darn wet.

The presentation is sweet but way too many lines of 5 Vegas it seems.

What line is generally considered the best as far as a full bodied smoke goes? (for 5 Vegas)
[Reply]

never had any 5 Vegas cigars, can someone compare them to another brand? Might look into getting a few to sample. any suggestions on the line?

thanks

I can't compare them to anything else, but I like most of them. The Classic (Red/Gold Band) is medium to full bodied, with some spice and a pretty good kick. The 'A' Series is my favorite. It is the medium to full bodied maduro, and has a nice subtle coffee and leathery taste. The Miami is good too, but I didn't like the Miami Knuckle. I have a Limitada in the humi, but have yet to smoke it. You can't go wrong with one of thier samplers.

Bump... Has anyone tried these yet... Interested in hearing what ya think.
[Reply]

I have some on order and they should be here this week. I will let you know how it goes. :-)

Tried one too soon from shipping, bought the 5er. Good, oily, not too spicy. Very nutty. I enjoyed it. I'll try another in a few months. Let me know if you want me to send you one, Tredegar.

They are on my wishlist!
[Reply]

I am interested in them. Prob going to grab a fiver. Like the idea of the nuttyness...lol
[Reply]

I got a fiver coming tomorrow. I have not been a huge fan of 5 Vegas but they won me over with good ol' fashioned marketing on this one. Thanks for the quick review, I like nuttiness, could be my first 5 Vegas I like.

Well, my shipment of the Relics came in yesterday and I just had to have one. Let me say that these have the potential to being an excellent cigar, but they do need some time resting. My smoke was a bit tight on the draw and burned a bit unevenly. The flavors, however, were another matter. I noticed a nice chocolate flavor from the get go and as the cigar burned it had a definite woodsy, earthy flavor. This may be one of the better smokes that has come out in the past year. Give them about 3-6 months or more resting and they should be an awesome smoke.

Thanks for the review...

Just ordered my fiver... Going to be hard to not smoke one ROTT.
[Reply]

I think the Miami is best for a full for a 5 vegas but it is a Pepin blend and I am a Pepin ho so of course I like it.
[Reply]

i wanted to try this cigar so bad at first.

I recieved one in a trade and was very excited.

The cigar SUCKED!

1. one dimensional
2. crappy construction (so uneven, looked machine-made)
3. smaller than i expected
4. tigher-than-looser draw

bah, i might try one again just to make sure it wasnt a fluke.... i want to like this cigar.
[Reply]

I bought a fiver of these and smoked one on the way to Tahoe. Unfortunately it was still a little wet and the draw was tight. That being said I liked what I was initially getting. I'm going to let the remainder of the fiver sit for a while. I can see a box in my future.
