Ever judge a book by it's cover? I have and still do with the reason being that I have been disappointed too many times. By that I mean the big box cigar outfits pushing those must try sticks at blowout prices...they promise big complex flavors and deliver none of it. So, this stick was part of a large lot of sticks I recieved. I have never had a 5 Vegas stick before so I was a little hesitant as life is too short to waste time on crap. The wrapper had a cracked foot so I thought I would just fire it up. I clipped it and took a dry draw and I could taste a peppery hint. I ignite it and I get the splurge of spice and pepper. The thing burned like a champ and very even to the nub. Taste was consistant and very reminisent of a Tat Red label...very good. I could see myself buying a box of these.
