5 Vegas Triple-A
 

"Another fantastic blend from the award winning 5 Vegas line, Triple-A combines tobaccos from Nicaragua's top growing regions with an oily broadleaf maduro wrapper to create a full-bodied array of complex flavors guaranteed to stimulate your palate for hours of enjoyment."

5.0x56

This is a gorgeous looking cigar with flavors to match it's looks. A very nice band, as well as a second band at the foot. The color is very dark and this cigar feels quite nice in the hand. I poked this with a CigarSpike and the draw was perfect.

The first 4 to 5 draws brought HUGE amounts of pepper. I was wondering what I had got myself in to. The pepper was so thick and powerful that my mouth was actually watering. I quickly went inside and poured a glass of orange juice.

Luckily (so I thought), the cigar soon mellowed. I had that wonderful maduro flavor on my lips. I was still getting a nice pepper flavor, but espresso was now getting mixed in. I got a bit light headed as the vitamin N was kicking in, so I got up and walked around a bit. Drank some O.J. and I regained my senses.

Moving right along, the flavor again changed to a peppery leather flavor. I was getting tons of smoke from the small hole created by the CigarSpike. As I neared the end of the second 3rd, my head got a little light again. Where's a jelly donut when you need one !

Heading down the home stretch, the nice pepper flavor was joined by a hint of oak. I was really enjoying this cigar. It lasted about an hour and 20 minutes, and when I went to put it in the ashtray, I just had to take one last draw. I would consider this a full bodied smoke with tons of great flavors coming through nicely. This one ranks right up there with the Cinco Vegas Anomaly.

Re: 5 Vegas Triple-A
 

I've been wanting to try one of these. The last 5 Vegas "A" I had was a disappointment. Nice review!

Re: 5 Vegas Triple-A
 

3A's are awesome. I bought some on a whim and have had 3 out of a 10'er. Very good sticks!

Re: 5 Vegas Triple-A
 

Nice Review
I have yet to have one of these but I hope to soon.

Re: 5 Vegas Triple-A
 

Supposedly a Fernandez blend. Nick sent me one of these in a MAW a while back. I might just fire it up this afternoon. :ss

About halfway in. I doubt this is a new blend from scratch. If a Diesel had its way with a regular Series A, this would be the result. Nick was spot on with the flavor descriptions, except I didn't get the initial huge blast of pepper. Nice amount of pepper throughout, though; and a fantastic maddie finish.

Thanks for the review! :tu

Sure does look like a tasty stick, I may have to get a sampler when my tax return comes in...

Although, I do have some credit card bills to pay. Hopefully I still have some of the cigars I've bought before it's time to pay the piper. :)

Re: 5 Vegas Triple-A
 

I just got a Fiver of these and am dying to try one. As a AJF blend even more so. I will post my findings.

I'd let them rest at least a couple of weeks. CI is notorious for shipping wet...
