5 Vegas Robusto

Great consistent cigar that always satisfies, age does help but even right out of the box these are great. Try the torpedo, definitely my favorite size.

Im not sure if maybe I just had a batch of bad ones? The taste was extremely harsh, and I could not finish it past halfway. I will not buy another one of these. I have not tried anyother 5 vegas. I hope they are better than this one!

I'm still not sure how the cinco vegas company can have so much hype around it. It's cheap in price, which is where the pros end. The taste is acidic and harsh, the aftertaste is almost like that of a cigarette. Most 5 vegas I've smoked have had holes in them, sometimes several holes per stick. The only bright spot is the 5 vegas golds, which are a poorer and stronger version of the cao golds. I've read many reviews that say "for the price, this is a great stogie". I'm saying, for the price you get what you pay for. leave these at the cigar shop, you can find better for cheaper.

For a straight house brand this is an above average cigar. The taste was surprisingly good, as was the burn and draw. I really didn't encounter any problems. For the price they are definately a good buy. This cigar was aged around three months. I wasn't really expecting to nub this robusto.

This is the best value cigar in the market place. You must have patience and age them for several months before your first smoke or it will taste like toilet paper.

I usually don't like to review a cigar smoking only a couple, so I may upgrade this puppy at a later date. I've been smoking the Coronas and Double Coronas in the 5 Vegas Classic for several months and they're both in my regular rotation and between the 2, I've found very little difference in taste or construction.

And, I found no problem with the construction or burn with the Robusto either. I smoked one of 'em outside in a 25 mph wind and the burn never varied. The flavor in the first inch or so lead me to believe these Robustos were going to be from a flavor standpoint, very similar to the Coronas, but as I got further in to the smoke, it developed a bitter taste, nothing really bad, but something than was not there at all with the Coronas. I'm going to give the rest of them a couple of months in the humi and give them a second try at a later date. These Classics are some of the most well constructed cigars I've found in this price range and I plan to keep smoking the Coronas on a regular basis at the prices I've been able to buy them and hopefully the Robusto, which is my preferred shape, will lose the bitter flavor after a little age.

I enjoy these cigars but they do need some age before they are at their best. The construction and burn are good. Slightly spicey at the start it mellows out to a nutty sweetness for me. This is a pleseant cigar, one that I always have in my humidor.

Since my first review on this cigar, I’ve had two others. The second was good the third very much like the first but smoother. What I find interesting is that they have really only been in the humidor a few months. If stronger bodied it cold quickly become one of my favorite smokes. Great draw, flawless burn, never required a touchup. Very nice cigar.

Not a bad cigar for 3.50 or so, well constructed and a nice wrap, A slight peppery taste at first that quickly turns into a slight chocolate milk taste, great every day cigar !
I would not smoke this one too hard and fast, or it can really get a bite at the end.
Best if aged in the humidor for a good 6 to 8 Months. Also like the Sol Cabaña.

i simply don't understand what all the rage is about this cigar? I had several and did not like any of them. Extremely bitter, a taste that lasted the entire cigar. This cigar was bad, so much so that I killed it after about 1/2 way through

Great construction and a mild to medium bodiness I really like first thing in the morning. Lots of cream and a touch of saltiness.

On a rainy evening standing under a patio umbrella burning some red meat I decided to give this a try. My thought, “why waste a good cigar that is most likely going to get wet anyway.” With this stick, I will never take that chance again. I really liked it! Started off mildly spicy and then went back and forth between light spice and slightly sweet. This was a smooth medium bodied cigar after being in the humi only a few weeks. Tons of velvety smoke with an even burn, especially considering the environment I was in. It never got hot, never needed a touch up and lasted about 45 minutes…just a solid cigar with a good if not somewhat one dimensional taste. The only negative was a crack in the wrapper, but the rest of the batch looked great. Many more of this cigar will find their way into my humidor.

I started smoking cinco golds about three years ago as a novice and found them to be creamy and good, if a bit boring. So when I was ready for more flavor, I tried the cinco vegas. I was confused by the harshness and amonia-like taste and decided I needed to try some other brands. After the remains of my cinco box sat in the humi for near two years, I decided to try them again with my more developed palate. The amonia taste was gone, but not the hot-burning harshness and stinky aroma. Never again.

I stick by my previous review, but this time I will say that age gives these cigars more smoothness that will appeal to a broader range of smoker. The are still a medium bodied smoke that are a bargain compared to other lesser, but more expensive, smokes.

Very Nice cigar. I bought a box and it was the best purchase I've made in a long time. Smooth at the beginning. Peppery at the middle and end. I have smoked about 20 of the Robusto's and haven't had a bad one yet. It is a med body Cig, but for the beginners take your time! It can bite if smoked in a hurry.

Get some age on these (6 months ) and you'll get to enjoy a smooth, solid tasting, medium bodied, $3 , everyday type of cigar. Nothing mindblowing here just nice.

This is almost like a Padron or RP Vintage in flavor. Kinda like a CAO Black, only flatter/ less complex. I love all of those lines, including this Cinco Vegas, but of them all the 5 Vegas is the least complex and 'blandest'. That isn't to say this is a bland cigar! The smoke is wispy, yet with a decent draw. Flavor builds with the body, with tons of cocoa and coffee flavor. This particular line, and the robusto in particular, gets FAR better and 'mellower' with age. One of my favourites, especially as an 'everyday smoke'. Ah, here's a decent description for you- like a cheaper version of a padron without cheating you out of taste.

Nice looking, super typical cigar look. Beautiful mid-brown Sumatra wrapper, slight oil sheen, no noticable veins. Simple band with the slightest flash.

No super distinct pre-light smell. After biting the head and drawing through the cigar, I got a healthy tobacco spice. Nice pre-light taste.

Upon lighting, I did get a slight black pepper taste, a slight spice, and a very muted caramel to molasses sweetness barely noticeable on the bottom and after taste. Very nice and unexpected, honestly. The first 1/3 of the cigar remained constant with the same taste.

Interestingly, almost half into the smoke, I got a very interesting, almost floral taste for about 2 draws. That subsided, and a dark coffee nice bitterness appeared. The black pepper went to the back of the taste, and the caramel/mollasses, muted anyway, almost dissappeared. The spice increased a tiny bit. This taste remained until about the last 1 1/2", when the cigar got too hot and I tossed it away.

The construction was good. The draw was very good, and the cigar was firm with no soft spots. The cigar did burn rather uneven, but finally corrected itself about the last 1/3 of the cigar.

Being that I paid about $2 for this smoke, the value was great. It was very pleasant, and I will certainly reach for anotger one of these in the future. Was it a CAO Mx2 or a Gurkha Regent class? no, but for $2 it was a very good smoke. Better than many smokes costing over $5 I have smoked.

This is simply a great cigar in construction and consistency. The problem that some newer smokers will be the flavor. This is a woody stick that will not appeal to everyone. Experienced smokers may find it too one-dimensional. Still, it is a very nice stick for the price.

Light brown in color, good construction, no special aroma before lighting. Good draw, fairly easy to light, stayed together well. A smooth and mildly spicey stick. Recommended.

I love the 5 Vegas Gold but this one left me wondering--why so mundane? Maybe I got a bad stick because I seem to remember smoking a 5V years ago and didn't hesitate to smoke another. But it didn't do anything for me at all.

this cigar was not bad, but to be honest i expected more. the flavor was very average with hints of nuts and coffee. toward the last quarter it got bitter.

about this one. I like it, but it really isn't too spectacular. It has a lot of smooth, creaminess and puts out plenty of smoke. It doesn't really satisfy the craving for a great cigar though. I recommend this cigar with a fresh brewed cup of 5 Vegas coffee for a nice treat in the morning. Good combination. I guess I should probably try another 5 pack to help with my decision making process.

This is one of my favorites great flavors and a clean burn.

I was looking forward to the Cinco, especially with all the hype and the rating. Unfortunately I was disappointed. The after taste was overwhelming and tasted like aluminum. I left the cinco half smoked.

I have purchased the 5 Vegas Churchills in the past, and found them to be excellent medium bodied smokes with a very pleasant Chocolate/espresso flavor. They were all creamy and smooth and a joy to smoke. I bought a box of Robustos recently, and have been thoroughly dissappointed. They are all harsh and bitter tasting. I would rather smoke White Owls than this last box of crap. I have has inconsistent cigar brands before, but this was night and day. Perhaps it was just a bad box, but I wouldn't risk another $60 to find out.

I can't believe there is anyone out there that does not enjoy the smoothness of the 5 Vegas. This has got to be one of my favorite smokes. Especially seeing the price is around $2.00 each. From the first draw you will notice a smooth buttery chocolate waft lingering on your pallete. The ash is consistant, and the draw is superb. After smoking several other brands and being dissappointed, smoking a 5 Vegas robusto is like coming home for the holidays!!!

Nice cigar. I believe this cigae needs to be burned and fired up first with a torch lighter then smoked. I also think this needs just 6 monthsto 1 year of aging. Great burn and taste for the price.

This cigar stinks, literally. One of the worst smelling cigars I've ever smoked. Flavor was ok, but not great, until the last half when it started tasting like roofing tar. Very nasty cigar.

Overall, this isn't a bad smoke. Its not a great cigar. Fairly mild cigar with a bit of spice to it. Relatively good construction with a nice light brown wrapper.

After reading all the positive reviews I was ready to like this cigar, especially since I prefer those from Nicaragua. However, I found the flavor mostly one-dimensional and with a slight harshness on the finish. It wasn't bad, just average and unremarkable. Burn and construction were good and there was ample smoke volume. Aroma seemed a bit strong.

price and quality go together, medium flavour

This is one of the worst stinkos I have ever purchased!

A solid cigar at a great price. This is one of my favorites as an "everyday" smoke. Not too strong, but not too mild either - it is just right in my opinion.

Everything i expected from this bargain cigar. A good mild flavor and consistent construction. Probably not a regular due to its lack of personality, but nothing to be ashamed of either.

A nice value cigar. It burned a little hot and uneven but all in all a good value

Very good smoke for three bucks.Lots of creamy smoke,I would say med to full flavor.Lots of spice at the end.Will add to everyday list.

Nice mild smoke. Great value on these can be found on the net.

smoke and taste is very mild. great for begin. smokers or after lunch smoke. creamy, not heavy - light finish. not much complexity, very straightforward.

Nice and mild. Good tasting cigar.

It had a nice easy draw with average smoke. It was a pleasant smoking experience. It was probably medium bodied and seemed like it had a stronger tobacco flavor than average. I prefer more aroma than this cigar has.

A mild to medium body cigar with a good amount of cherry on the end.

pleasant surprise, long sweet finish. a refreshingly different cigar

A definite middle of the road cigar. Not too much complexity. Burn was nice but the flavors were not developed and the finish was short. I put down the cigar half way through because of the harsh amonia flavor it got half way down.
