A luxurious encore presentation.The term ’cask strength’ is a term single-malt scotch and malt whisky enthusiasts are familiar with. Cask strength refers to whiskies that are undiluted, usually creating a powerful bottling strength, high alcohol content, and ample character. That was the inspiration for 5 Vegas Cask-Strength and the blend lives up to the name....and then some.Hailing from Esteli, the cigar-making capital of Nicaragua, 5 Vegas Cask-Strength will captivate you from the get-go. Dressed in a stunning, reddish-hued Corojo wrapper from Nicaragua - one that’s dark and oozing with oils - this 6.2"x54 Toro is lovingly box-pressed for maximum flavor. Beneath this exquisite wrapper, a bold combination of aged ligeros from Nicaragua, Honduras, and beyond has been expertly blended. Cask-Strength opens with a feisty bouquet loaded with hearty spices. An eventful opening indeed - which prepares the palate for a deep series of oak, cedar, earth, and toast. Spicy throughout with a warm, toasty aroma, expect a full-bodied and full-flavored crescendo as you gradually approach the nub. Marvelous!
Note: The packaging for 5 Vegas Cask-Strength has changed and will no longer come in the barrel. Rest assured, the cigar has stayed the same!
I recently picked up a 10 pack of Toros on the Daily Deal. I have been wanting to try the 5 Vegas line for awhile so when I seen these on sale I went for it. Boy, I'm glad I did. Great in every aspect, appearance is top notch, nice box press, nice draw with a punch cut, and the taste is out of this world. I enjoyed this cigar more than some other very expensive brands I've tried. If you have not tried this one, you should. You won't be sorry.
I got one of these in the Backyard Boogie sampler. It's a great smoke. Construction and burn was flawless, nice easy draw, great flavor, and a good price point. It would be nice to a have smaller gauge options like a Corona or Robusto.
Loved these... I'll be getting more.
Haven't tried ALL the 5 Vegas cigars, just a couple or 3. (The Gold is a great milder smoke, for sure.) I got some of these Cask Strength bad boys a while back in a mixed sampler. At 1st I was not super impressed, but I'll be damned if this puppy hasn't grown on me. Maybe a little time in the humidor really does make a difference. I am really digging the balance of spice & leather. I'm enjoying this one with a Sweetwater IPA - NOT my go to beverage to accompany a cigar, BUT this combo is working beautifully today! I NOT ONLY RECOMMEND THIS CIGAR, I'LL BE GETTING MORE. CHEERS!!!!
This cigar is one really powerful full flavored beauty that also looks stunning. If your new to cigar smoking this one might be a little too strong, but a seasoned smoker will definitely love it. Very highly recomended.
“I bought the "Legal Limit 18-Cigar Sampler III" wanting to expand my pallet into the Full strength cigars and thought I'd write a review from a novice's point of view. I enjoyed this full flavor smoke that did grow in flavor & body. On my buy again list, might even be a top 5 for me!
Hands down the best 5 Vegas offers! Good burn & decent taste!
This has got to be one of the best full bodied smokes on the planet. I ordered a box on sale and I'm hooked. Very heavy in the hand, a hearty smoke with excellent flavor. A medium draw I guess because it is jam packed with goodness. I had a problem with the packaging and had to take a knife to it to get to them. Unfortunately I sliced on of the twenty. This is a special cigar. I will be buying these again, sale or no sale.
A good cigar. A bit spicy and for the first couple, an uneven burn. Remains consistent throughout leaving a very pleasant taste on the palate. Would highly recommend this cigar
Let me start by saying I am no expert. Having said that, in just a few years of smoking good hand rolled cigars this is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ever! Strong but not overpowering, earthy and to me a nice but very smooth chocolate flavor. Try these, you will not be sorry you did, a great cigar.
After a long day, I pulled out one of these guys from the humidor and sat down with a cup o' joe. Right off the bat some spicy goodness. Then it mellowed a little into a smooth and toasty smoke. The earthy, cedar description is right on. From beginning to end it was a great smoke, and the mild coffee worked very well with the 5 Vegas. I can't wait to smoke the next one. Very good stuff.
I have found my favorite 5 Vegas and this is one of my top 10 favorite cigars. Very smooth with only a week to rest in my humi. Even burn, easy light, cool to the nub. This is medium/full cigar with plenty of smoke produced. Picked these up on sale and can't wait till I see them come around again as I will be stocking up. As always thanks CI! A premium smoke for a deal that can't be beat!
Flavor-spicy,peppery, with some tanginess like a light rum or whiskey influence.Strength-full body,lots of power.Conclusion-It goes without saying that 5 Vegas draw and construction are perfect.This stick hits with both barrells from foot to head yet remains smooth,well done!
Hands down a solid smoke and for sure a must try. Surely in the medium body categorty, this smooth-as-silk stick is right up there with the best in the business. Beautiful box-press presentation and oily wrapper are just the beginning. Do yourself a favor and fire a few of these.
Got a 5 Vegas sampler as a gift from my brother with a humidor, lighter and cutter. This was an awesome gift. The best smoke out of the group. I love this stick. The 5 vegas cask strength is a winner in all categories. I am huge fan now and want more of these for my humidor. Well done on this one 5 vegas!
I did not like the taste of the Cask Strength as much as I liked the other 5 Vegas cigars that I have smoked. I felt the tobacco flavor was somewhat bland. Not a bad cigar, just not as enjoyable, to my taste, as, say, the Classic
I've had a few of these and like them as most of the 5 Vegas is a solid favorite of mine, but there is a slight inconsistency to how it burns...front end of the stick goes fast, middle tends to bog down a little, then the back end goes fast again...did make for an uneven burn on one of them I had recently. However, flavor-wise and smoke-wise, I can't complain. It could've just been a batch that wasn't rolled evenly or packed evenly. I'll still get them from time to time...
Corojo lovers rejoice! 5 Vegas has outdone themselves with this beauty. Not quite a Camacho Corojo, IMHO, but dad-gum delicious, by any standards. 1st deal I can find on a few of these, I will throw them in the humi next to my High Primings & "A"s.
The most flavorful 5 Vegas. Can't wait for more!
This was in "The Motherlode" sampler and I have to say it was a tough decision, but after smoking all of them, the 5 Vegas Cask Strength finished in a tie for 1st place with the Cohiba Extra Vigoroso. If you want a beatifully made, delicious cigar at a not bad price, try this one. I would put it at a Medium to Full strength just a hair shy of the mid-point between the two. An absolutely wonderful smoking experience.
Great burn, easy draw, and tons of smoke, as I've come to expect from 5 Vegas. The burn is so even that when I start to think it's starting to burn more to one side it's only off by half a fingernail at most. Very smooth, slightly spicy but mostly woody and earthy. Not a very complicated cigar, but good nonetheless. Stronger than anything else that has passed through my humidor, if cigars usually give you a buzz you may want to wait for a special night to smoke one of these. Definitely buying more to fill out my humidor since they're supposed to get better with age, but right now they're my go to cigar so they don't get to sit around for very long.
Although I am not typically a fan of "boxed pressed", I have got to say I throughly enjoyed these beauties.....certainly know what I will be reordering soon.
