5 Vegas Classic Double Nickel

I pulled this one out of the humidor for a mid-afternoon smoke on the back porch. The wrapper was consistently colored with small veins. It was pretty firm to the touch with good spring. It clipped cleanly and had a very nice not too tight draw.

It fired up with lots of pleasant smoke. First 1/3 had a very good burn with light gray ash. A pretty peppery, spicy flavor with just a bit of wood. Second third the pepper settled into the background and the wood became more prominent. Had a pretty dry finish on the tongue. The last third changed again and had some nuttiness to it and even a little cream. The burn was right on throughout... no touch ups needed. I'd give it a 3 three out of five. Certainly one I would smoke again.
