5 Vegas Churchill

The very definition of a very good medium strength cigar: color, flavor (true tobacco), smoke and aroma. All very, very fine and in the middle-weight range. Gets a little spicy toward the end, but what cigars don't? And in this case it's a harmonious finish.

Am only 40 minutes into this truly wonderful smoke and find myself compelled to write a review already.Lets get the down side out of the way first,the wrapper started to unravel in places after light up.Positive now,looks great,nice smooth wrapper, mild aroma,nice and firm.After light up,smooth mild smoke(even smooth through the nose). A wood's after a rain taste with an abundance of smoke.Firm white ash which held on for 2 inches.A truly fine smoke and one to recommend.

I've had about 5 of these, all of them great out of the chute. Nice mellow flavor, hard to describe, but slight woodsy. Very similar in taste to an Oliva Original "O". One of the 5 had a tight draw, but for the most the flavor, constuction, and burn made up for it. The ash retention is a little above average. This is a quality cigar for an excellent price. This one is going to be a regular with me.

Approaching 5 years in the box these are mild now, but very flavorful. They require a slow easy draw to keep the smooth, cool smoke from becoming hot or bitter. Notes of bread or wheat with sweetness initially, then some wood, tar and a little spice on the finish.

Don't even think about smoking these until you've aged them at least 90 days. I have smoked many of these in all of their sizes. The Torpedo is my favorite but the 6 month aged churchill was very nice the other night. Once aged the harshness as well as burn and draw issues that some of you have experience will disappear. You can expect a creamy, relatively smooth, medium bodied everyday cigar. Flavors are of a straight tobacco with some nut and wood undertones. I paid about 2.25/stick at auction.

Tried one of these churchills for the first time and I wasn't really impressed. I had read quite a few good reviews and was looking forward to it. Had an uneven burn and kept going out. I finally tossed it two-thirds of the way down. I'm going to chalk it up as just one bad cigar. I will get another and give em another chance.

I got a 25 pack of these with a cigar jar off cigarbid.com. I figured they would make a good cheap cigar-and they do! The draw is very good, the burn is a little uneven (but not terribly so), and they had an ok flavor with good smoke. about halfway through the flavor got very mild and smooth. Pretty good for a cheap stick!

I agree that these need some aging so that they smooth out. Mine are 1 year old, and not are nice and creamy and have lost the harsh bite that was subtly present before. At less than 2 bucks, a super medium body value stick

I bought 2 boxes of these in June 2002. They have matured into very good medium bodied smokes. Cinco Vegas tend to be stronger and flavorful but have a bitter aftertaste before they age. Good cigars when I bought them for less than $1.50 a stick, they can now compete with any medium bodied smoke out there.

This stick was just lovely, the foot lit lit well and had a nice white ash with a very even burn. It had notes of toast and cedar, just a toasty churchill, and one to keep in the humidor.

5 minutes into this churchill, I found myself commenting on how smooth and creamy this smoke was. Had a velvety bouquet of roasted nuts and subtle notes of spice and leather. Very pleasing aroma to bystanders. For the price, this could very well become one of my "go to" cigars. Excellent construction and value place the 5 Vegas as an outstanding pick.

What do they call those things they light fire works with? I think there called a punk. these work even better .nice hot ash and they certainly won't draw your attention away from the fire works.THE GREAT STATESMAN (ARNOLD SCHARTZANIGGER) ONCE SAID. WHAT AMERICA NEEDS IS A GOOD 5 CENT CIGAR.WELL this is it,only it cost's more.It should have been more aptly named cinco centavo and then priced accordingly. look I know I,m being an A-HOLE but it is what it is!!Another good cheapo is las cabrillas. Asta la vista baby.

Smoked two of these recently. Good draw and even burn. Mild to medium body with a slightly sweet nutty flavor. Great value. I plan on keeping a few of these on hand at all times.

For a mild cigar, this one keeps you interested. Flavor is consistant from start to finish, and it produced ample amounts of delightful smoke. The draw might be a little to much, but it did not get hot. Hints of nuts and nutmeg(?) which give it a nice 'dessert' effect. For the price, this cigar is a great value if you are looking for a mild bodied smoke.

Cant say much more than, it was worth it. For the price, this one is a solid. The burn was even and had a nice creamy flavor to it. It wasnt as strong as I like them, but would be a great everyday cigar for anyone!

Overall medium-bodied, spicy, earthy smoke that satisfies. Not a "10", but a great anytime smoke that you'll enjoy. Box of 25 for $28

This is a rich medium bodied cigar. Great for the golf course. I notice the comment this cigar is hard to find. Try Cigarbid.com, they have a ton of these.

Long Ashes

A low priced cigar with good creamy flavor and medium bodied. A good bargain for those who appreciate a good smoke for a low price, and readily available. Good to have a box of these for card night, or smoke gatherings.

Good spice, good pepper, great price, great taste. Med-full with spicy peppery finish. Dominican tobacco is evident but does not diminish strength.

Great Cigar but hard to find now.

Great value cigar if you can it on the web for a discounted price

A very strong cigar, not for the beginner. An aroma of cedar and aftertaste of bitter herbs. No sweetness in this Nicaraguan smoke.

Get even better after spending some time in your humidor.
