Cigar Review 5 vegas A "Atomic"


I will review the 5 Vegas A "Atomic"

This is a nice little smoke. I purchased these of all the noise I was hearing about these on clubstogie. I had bidded on several of the 5 Vegas Brand cigarbid but never won one until I won the 5 vegas A "Atomic". All I have to say is this is an impressive smoke. Nice maduro wrapper looks like pure chocolate goodness. The cigar is constructed very well.

After I cut the cap the prelit draw is of a mild sweet bitter tobacco flavor.
I toasted the foot and began to puff away.

The first couple of puffs produced massive volumes of sweet smelling tobacco smoke. I am really loving the taste profile. The burn was even throughout the ash held up 1.5 to 2 inches before it dropped.

I had hints of cedar which surprised me but it still was good. These cigars are a keeper in my humidor I love them. This is another favorite.

Reasons to buy
Smooth and easy smoke
consistent burn and taste profile
volumes of smoke
mild to medium flavor profile

A cigar dude and his accessories










Nothing is more important to a cigar dude than his cigar accessories

Top accessories for me
1. heartfelt beads
2. ronson lighters
3. Listerine breath spray
4. Listerine breath strips
5. cheap ass cigar cutters for cigarbid...lol

The heartfelt beads help keep the humidity down 65% in my humidor

The ronson lighters get them cheap at Walmart 2.59...who cares if it breaks just hop to walmart and get another one.

Listerine breath spray and Listerine breath strips..keep that cigar breath away from wifey.

Cheap ass cigar cutters got off cigarbid.com 10-pack for 1.

I love the reviews, the top list they have, the travel destinations, and the watches. This is definitely a gentleman's magazine about cigars but includes other avenues on enjoying the so called "good life'.

This magazine is a mainstay in my reading literature.

Royal Jamacia Gold Corona




The Royal Jamaica Gold is a handmade cigar from the Atladis family. (same makers of montecristo,romeo y julieta..and etc read more at
http://www.altadisusa.com

I had to get a 5-pack of these from cigarbid.
Reasons why:
I was married in Runaway Bay, Jamaica so a keepsake if horrible
The packaging is awesome
The female on the cigar band is a cutie pie :)
Got them low 9.00 for 5 of them

I had no expectations for this cigar. The purchase was purely intended as giveaways. The reasons my expectations were low was because I havent heard much about this particular cigar on the boards or in the magazines..Boy was I wrong.

This is a nice mild relax chillout kind of cigar.

I clipped the tip and the prelit draw was that of a sweet tobacco almost honeyesque(not a word but you get the point)

I lit it and we were off on this beautiful journey of smoke and deep thoughts just me , my laptop, and this cigar. Once lit it produced volumes of white smoke very impressive. The first third was pleasant and mild sweet tobacco. The flavor profile stayed the same throughout the cigar. Which was cool with me.
The ash was impressive it did not drop until it was 3 inches.
This was a nubber. This cigar will be a main stay in my humidor.
This is a keeper

Pics of my Humidor











I got this humidor about 3 months ago on ebay for a reasonable low price. Im a frugal kind of guy so reasonable low price stuff is my cup of tea.

It holds roughly 100 cigars it is simply beautiful

This blog will be my personal forum to tell the world about cigars I like. I will try to feature a different cigar every week. I am no cigar snob or expert I just will post what I like and so forth.
