The new CI catalog has a 5 Vegas Cask Strength II listed in the 5 cigar samplers.

I know the originals were discontinued or a limited release. Anyone know anything about these coming out? They aren't listed anywhere on the site except in that 5'er.

The Boutique #2 5-Star Sampler includes:
1 - 5 Vegas Cask-Strength II Toro (6" x 52)
1 - Bahia Blu Robusto (5" x 50)
1 - Graycliff 1666 Presidente (7" x 48)
1 - La Herencia Cubana Toro (6.5" x 52)
1 - Rocky Patel Decade Toro (6.5" x 52)

Damn, I want to try them. CI needs to release them in boxes or 5'ers.

Thanks for the update.

I've wondered about these myself. Was the first blend good? Was it as full-bodied as advertised?
[Reply]

The first blend was VERY good. I absolutely loved them but couldn't get my hands on them as often as I would have liked. Haven't tried the second blend but they will have a hard time being as good as the first.

man, I was never able to get my paws on the original release, so I don't have anything to compare the II too.
[Reply]

Good to know, I have one in the humi, I think I will light it up as soon as I am over this Flu.
[Reply]

i have an original somewhere floating in my humi, have yet to try one though

For those interested, I just got the new CI catalog and these are available ads a 5 pack in their 5 pack madness. They have actually expanded their 5 pack madness dramatically, lots of choices, some pretty good deals especially coupled with free shipping.

I tried one of these the other day. The initial start was a bit spicy, but turned into a very nice coffee/cream profile. Very smooth and built up in strength. I would say med strength full bodied flavor. Not as strong as the name suggests.

:-) The fivers in that list are priced well, especially the DPGs

I saw these on the Joes Jambalyla last week and should have pulled the trigger. :-)
[Reply]

Picked up that deal -- two 5pks of the toro for $30. I've put them in a low humidity (60-65% RH) box and will let you know how they smoke in a couple of weeks.
[Reply]

Man! That's a helluva price on a really nice cigar. $3 a smoke? Too bad cigar.com doesn't offer the same as CI or Joe's.
I picked up the 10th Anniversary sampler from cigar.com. It came with 20 sticks a 20 ct humidor for $100. 4 each of 5 different anniversary cigars.
I have 3 left of the 5 Vegas Cask Strength II. I must get more.:-)

Here is the link for anyone else that has to have them: :-)

When I first started my 5 Vegas addiction I picked up 3 boxes of the org. ones, if anyone wants to buy or trade, I still have a 23 left.. very nice smoke. :-)
[Reply]

They are pretty good, but not as good as the originals imo.
[Reply]

smoked one yesterday, very nice!
