Quick Smoke: 5 Vegas Gold Torpedo

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.

I’d been eager to smoke this cigar ever since 5 Vegas Gold was recently chosen the best stick with coffee by Stogie Fresh readers. The light brown Connecticut shade wrapper was a nice contrast to the black coffee I poured for my test. Smoking several, I found a consistently loose draw and a rapid burn with lots of smoke. It’s a pleasant cigar, more mild than medium, and I didn’t detect any of the pepper others have noted. I’d agree it goes well with coffee and is certainly worth a try at the low price at which any of the sticks in the Gold line are usually available.

Verdict = Buy.
