"good little fat boy"
I've been looking forward to this cigar since I got ... finally got a chance to hit it today. It's short and fat and dark, which usually isn't my style, but was happy I tried it. The flavor was consistent and nice ... the overall power of the smoke was on the high end of moderate. The burn was a little uneven, but nothing too bad. All in all, this was a great little smoke with a little bit of a punch to it. Very nice!

"Little Giant"
The Apostle has been the only cigar I've sampled of this line and have really enjoyed them. I've purchased a few 5-packs of some of the others and decided tonight to give the Atomic a try after about 6 weeks in the humidor. Shows off a near black wrapper with mottled blotches of a rust-copper color. Has a firm, light feel to it. Upon lighting the foot a huge amount of copious smoke is released immediately on the first puff. Produces a fine light gray ash. Has an easy, airy draw and burns consistently throughout the entire smoke evenly and razor sharp. Has a fairly moderate strength for such a dark stick; not as strong as may be expected. Still very flavorful and aromatic with notes of dark chocolate, French roasted coffee beans, charred oak wood and cedar. A touch of dark molasses sweetness teases the tongue. Remains smooth and creamy down to the last inch. A great match with the Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout I'm enjoying with it. I am very impressed with this 5 Vegas line so far.

"Good Value"
I would not rate these as high as others have simply because I am not thrilled with the flavor. Construction, draw and value are great. Just not my cup of tea.

"Bomb"
This cigar was fantastic. Definitely bang for the buck. I am anxious to try the other sizes because this one was really great.

"5 Vegas Series A Artisan...EXCELLENT!"
This is my favorite cigar for the money. Nutty, toasty chocolate and coffee flavors take turns tantalizing your palate.

"Suprised"
Had a good experience with this one. Taste of vanilla, which surprised me. Quick smoke and a must try if you are short on time.

"Wish they weren't"
Finally getting around to reviewing this, it was the first Series A I tried. Still one of my favorites that has been tough to locate more of. Most have been even burners with great taste in a short smoke, firm with an easy draw.

"Very, very good"
Great cigar. Rich, dark, flavorfull. Read the other reviews... very much like a fine espresso or Cream Stout.

"New 5 Vegas Believer"
Prior to this smoke, 5 Vegas was relegated in my mind to a second or third tier smoke...the kind that you suck on while mowing the yard. However, I was very impressed with the Atomic Ltd. The flavor is complex, the burn is terrific, and a little humidor time doesn't hurt. I would recommend this smoke over many 3 and 4 times the price. Sorry P.T. Barnum, but with this smoke you get more than you paid for.

"Nice Smoke"
Great cigar! Best with a pint or two of Guinness which brings out the sweeter flavors of the cigar that I dig. Very smooth with only 2 weeks in the humi.
Highly Recommended.

"Tasty, very tasty"
Great cigar. Better after at least 2 weeks in the humi.
I recommend smoking with a Guinness as the beer will bring out the sweeter flavors of the cigar. Cocoa, coffee, and rich tobacco goodness. Goes well with Dr Pepper too.

"Stubby, but smooth."
One of my favorites. Very smooth medium-strength maduro with hints chocolate and coffee. Nice presentation - cedar wrapped with a dark wrapper. Construction and burn are pleasing as well. I'd like to try aging them but I can't seem to stop smoking them long enough. Perfect size for a lesiurly 45 min to 1 hr smoke. Enjoy.

"Amazing!"
This cigar is simply amazing in both appearance, quality, and value. The wrapper is dark and beautiful. Well-constructed all around, nice draw and consistent burning. Full bodied. Cocoa, rich, creamy. Fantastic aroma. A little bit peppery at some points, but very balanced.

"amazing!"
The Series A gets better and better as the ring size increases. I strongly recommend the Alpha or the Apocalypse. Now that I have 20 of each, I can tell you how great this cigar is without worrying about you suckers raising my bid price. So, please try these amazing costarican wrapped cigars. TASTY!

"fantastic"
I cant say enough about the series a. These things, dollar for dollar, have to be one of the best deals out there. Try aging this series for 2-3 months and they are even better! I will be purchasing a box or two of a few sizes as soon as possible. The only down fall is you cant find as good of a deal on these as you could a few months ago. People are finding out how good these are.

"described as juicy... CHECK"
Series A is without a doubt the best maduro value out there. I bought a box of the torpedos, 5-pack atomics, and a box of Apocalypse. Apparently there is no end to the goodness as the ring size gets bigger! juicy juicy juicy. I recommend keeping this cigar at 70 RH. I usually keep mine between 65-68 RH, but this cigar does well with more moisture. You must try the larger gauges!
