I got some of these in a sampler and was curious about them, since the customer reviews at CI were overwhelmingly positive. Shows how much you can trust those reviews. Pepper, pepper, and dry wood – oh, and more pepper. Yecch! On the plus side, it is well constructed, although light in the hand, and burns like a champ. I’ve read that this was blended by Don Pepin’s daughter, but don’t know that this is true. If it is, she has a long way to go to catch up with the rest of the family.

I have enjoyed most 5 Vegas cigars and I think the Series A is exceptionally good. I would also say the Cask Aged II is pretty intresting; the II is a much better smoke than the original “Cask”. The Gold and Classic seem to be aimed at Macanudo smokers and I would say they are as good as those mild sticks. I say this because since these others are good to excelent I expected a really stellar smoke with one that is called “Miami” and is made by Don Pepin Garcia. I am sorry to say that isn’t the case as far as the several I’ve smoked out of the box I purchased. This cigar just is at least medium in body yet not very interesting – or particularly flavorful in a way that resonates with me. When I smoke these burning wood is all that really comes to mind…Perhaps, a Miami II can do what the II did for the Cask Aged?

I tried one of these that came in a 5 pack sampler sent to me from CI after I complained about about some horrible 5 vegas red label cigars I bought from them…they were so bad, that u could’nt pay me to smoke them…anyways, the 5 vegas miami sucked..it was dry and harsh on the palate
