We unfortunately live in a world where sticker price equates to quality. Yes, there are good products and bad products, and often you receive the quality you pay for, but this is not always the case. Certainly not with 5 Vegas cigars, which offer quality smoke at affordable prices. But don’t think these are gas station cigars—far from it. With names like A.J. Fernandez and brand guardian and primary 5 Vegas cigar manufacturer, the Plasencia family involved, you know this stuff is the real deal. On top of that, consider how the brand built and retained a solid smoking base for decades.
5 Vegas Limitada cigars are released yearly in limited edition runs. This long-standing tradition for 5 Vegas features a one-off, small-batch production, so while the blends and product used to craft these cigars can differ, an overall theme runs through each. Here, let’s take a look at the 2019 and 2020 versions.
The cigars from 2019 utilize high-primed Dominican and Nicaraguan long-fillers. This feisty blend rests snug in a Cameroon binder. A hearty Nicaraguan leaf wraps it all together. You’re left with a medium-strength smoke that will engulf your palate with flavors of coffee, cedar, pepper, and wood.
The 5 Vegas Limitada cigars from 2020 run on a blend of Peruvian and Nicaraguan long-fillers. Just above the Nicaraguan binder is dark and oily Connecticut broadleaf. The result is a medium-full smoke well worth the yearly wait. You’ll experience flavors of wood, leather, coffee, and earth.
So as you can see, there are different elements at work within these two cigars, though the blend stays true to its delicious core flavors. We love annual releases that remain true to the overall line while offering something new for the faithful.
Please enjoy 5 Vegas Limitada cigars at your leisure.
