Thank goodness they added ANOTHER size...
 
seriously, how many sizes of 5Vegas Series 'A' do they need?

Just got my CI catalog and they have added ANOTHER size... called the AAA.

So now they have:
5.5x55
5x52
5x56

In addition to 7 other sizes... so 10 sizes for a single blend... does that seem a bit overboard??

Is it a new blend? If so, why the same name?

I got one of the other vitolas in a blind taste test and was pleasantly surprised. They're not a bad smoke. On the other hand, I need another 50+RG cigar like I need a hole in the head. When will they learn?

reminds me of a humorous story about Rocky Patel...

when he finds discolored cigars, he creates a new blend rather than throw them out.....:r

I really wanted to like 5 Vegas. I have smoked the A, Gold, Classic, Miami and I thought they were all junk. Just because their popular does not make them good. A lot of cigar smokers I know, just smoke cigars to smoke cigars. They're not out smoking for flavor and taste. I smoke for flavor and taste.

But being popular does make it reasonable to expand the line. :2

I've liked the Classic, Relic, and CSII. The As have been very inconsistent, and the Golds were like smoking air.

AAA Is a different blend. I like the 5 Vegas A, Miamai, CSII, and Classic. I'll try a AAA if I get the chance.

If it's a new blend I'll probably try it. I've pretty much given up on the As, though.

Miami's are worth smoking imho and I think the Gold's are better than CAO's if you are into connies.

I have to agree with you there, With only exception being that they are cheap smokes, so if I'm low on funds I can get a bunch to last a while. They are quite a bit overrated, I think they just tried to ride the Name dropping to get sales going.

Only blend from the brand that I enjoy is the Miami and I will only pick them up if I can score a deal on C-Bid otherwise I'll pass on them. I like them for smoking in the car when I can't pay as much attention to a smoke.

Zackly... And isn't "good" a subjective term? I would suspect they sell so many because people, at least some, feel they are "good"...

AAA Special

Figure the odds....

Hey Thrak, ya think you could complain about Oliva or Camacho?? Ya brought up the AAA and now they're on special.....I'm just sayin'.......

Funny but most likely true.

The Series A is a good smoke for the money.

IMHO, the 5 vegas A is marginal at best. I don't search them out, but if I stumble on them cheap enough, I will occasionally pull the trigger on a 5 pack.
