5 Vegas Series ‘A’
posted by Juan Cigarillo

Over the last couple of years I have had the opportunity to enjoy some fine, rare, expensive cigars. Some, given as gifts, retail for more than $40 dollars. Recently I even enjoyed a Cuban Cohiba that I will review at a later date. So it may seem strange that my first review on this site is less than $3 bucks a stick.

The 5 Vegas ‘A’ is deserves the first review on this site. With its dark, slightly vieny, Costa Rican, maduro, wrapper this cigar will soon begin to bump something from your current Top 10 list. I am currently about 12 cigars into a box of the 6.0 x 50 Archetypes and this is one of the most consistent cigars I have ever smoked. It is extremely well constructed with zero wrapper or draw issues up to this point. Creamy and earthy with a few unique flavors this cigar will keep your attention right up to the point where it burns your fingers. The 4.5 x 54 Limited Release Atomic has room for an extra leaf that makes enough difference to almost justify buying two sizes.

However, the best part of this cigar is the price. At $65 to $75 dollars a box you can’t beat it. Unfortunately you can’t find this brand a very many local vendors, but you can pick up a five pack of the Atomics for $19 bucks at most internet sites. If you go that route though I would say you will regret not purchasing an entire box.

Because in my world price matters I am going to rate this cigar a 93
