5 Vegas Relic combines a bold blend of Dominican-grown tobaccos, full-bodied and full-flavored leaves grown from Habano seeds. To tame this feisty recipe, a leaf of 12-year-old Dominican Piloto has been added to the filler, and the result is nothing short of glorious.
Sit back and relax with this full-flavored explosion of rich, complex nuances. A deep series of oak, earth, and coffee coat the palate, leaving behind a lingering trace of peppery, sweet undertones. The perfecto shape optimizes these flavors, achieving an intense level of complexity with superior balance during the final half. The 5 Vegas Relic is not your average Dominican puro.
Due to the aged, oily, premium tobaccos used to create this sensational cigar, we recommend dry-boxing each stick for optimum results.

Comments: A mild tasting cigar – not what you normally see with the 5 Vegas line. But, I didn’t dry-box as recommended due to oily tobaccos. Still, overall, an enjoyable cigar with enough flavors to make it worthwhile. |
