5 Vegas Gold maduro torpedo

[PeeJay]

I noticed someone else had a 5 Vegas recently so decided to give this a try. Coming in at 6" x54 this is a menacing looking stick with an oily oscuro wrapper that smelt earthy and rich. The stick was very firm but once cut the draw was very loose and tasted like it smelled. The Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper encases a blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers. It lit nicely and the smoke was smooth and mild with just a hint of saltiness to it but it went out very quickly. In fact it required three relights in 16 minutes. When it stayed alight it tasted quite pleasant but a cigar is meant to be a pleasure not an effort so this one got ditched. I performed an autopsy on it but I couldn't find any nasties inside. A little denseness at the head but that I put down to the torpedo shape.
