5 Vegas Gold Maduro?

[benedic08]

I was surfing around looking for cigars to try when i get back. Then i saw this one on CI. 5 Vegas Gold Maduro... Im a big fan of 5 Vegas Gold so this one got my attention... Anyone tried it or thoughts on this? Thanks :D

I saw these in the latest Cigar.com catalog. Hopefully they will be more flavorful than 5 Vegas Gold is. I loves me some maduros!

The 5 Vegas Gold is a tad too light for me...wondering myself if the maduro wrapper will give it a little kick. :D

I will be anxious to give them a try! They look really nice.

[Gophernut]

Might need to pick up a 5er.

:tpd: for sure they are very light not much flavor to them at all, i am looking forward to the maduros though

[rhmalone]

Ohh, I'd not heard of this... thanks for bringing it to my attention. I don't mind the Gold's although I agree, a tad too mellow. I'm thinking a good coffee smoke possibility.

[GHC_Hambone]

I really enjoyed the regular 5 Vegas Golds so I will definitely want to try the maduros.

[big a]

I have been on a big 5 vegas kick ricgh now and I cannot wait to try this. thanks for the heads up.

[Salvelinus]

These piqued my interest as well. I have only tried the 5-vegas A series, but liked those a lot. The definitely look delicious.

Can I say for the record, I love the Series A!!!

[T.G]

Hey guys...

....keep in mind that the Serie A and the Gold Maduro are from completely different blenders and factories.

The Gold and Gold Maduro are from Nestor Plasencia, made in his Honduran and Nicaraguan factories respectively. The Serie A is from Toarano (not to be confused with the Triple-A "AAA" which is from AJ Fernandez.)

Don't count on similarities between the Serie A and the Gold Maduro just because they both have dark wrappers. Just because one is great, doesn't mean the others will be. Or they might both be great to you.

[Salvelinus]

And I thought I had my ducks in a row:D

Thanks for the heads up. I knew I like Torano's smokes, just didn't know that was one of them.

[weak_link]

I think for a mild smoke the Gold does pretty well and bests the CAO version. I need to brush up on my bathroom reading because I didn't even realize these were out. My expectation would be the same smoke but with a sweet component and maybe a bit less on the creamy feeling in the mouth. Guess I have something to keep an eye open for since I actually like the connie version.

[postjack]

I see a five pack of these in my future after I recover from the financial impact of my last spending spree.

I do wish they offered these in the "nugget" size, thats one of my favorite part about the 5 Vegas Gold.

:tpd: It is a great stick if you like lighter cigars. To me it would be great for a morning cigar with a cup of coffee.

Good to know...I didn't know all 3 were from different blenders and factories. :tu

:tpd: I've really liked the gold with a bright morning blend style of coffee. If I go with a darker, fuller bodied coffee I've noticed you can't even taste the 5 Vegas Gold...a maduro would hopefully fix that.

Yeah, the 5 Vegas cigars are pretty much all blended & made by a number of different manufacturers, just depends on which line it is within the marque, and the Limitadas can change from year to year (Jose Blanco & La Aurora did the 05-08s, Manuel Quesada/MATASA did 09, can't remember who did 10 offhand).

[Salvelinus]

A heads up to those that wanted to try these, deal of the day right now on cigar.com

[Skywalker]

These weren't my cup of tea!

I think the wrapper is dyed.

Maybe they need a little rest?

[elderboy02]

I bought some of these a while back. I smoked one and was very surprised at how good it was. I thought they would suck, but it was decent. Well worth the $2.50

You want me to Punch, Punch, Punch you in the face? :bx

[Bill86]

I have a box of the regular 5 vegas gold robustos, and a 5'er in another size. Love them especially the robustos I see a box of maduros next paycheck.

[lovenhim]

I would like to try the maduro as well. I really like the 5 Vegas Gold.
