After having just come off one of the most enjoyable new cigar experiences in my life as I discovered 5 Vegas’s Cask Strength, I was really looking forward to the Relic. All I can add to the review above is; the nicest thing about this cigar is the cool box it came in. “Smoking dirt” is pretty close to the flavor I experienced from my first one. These will definitely get aged in my humidor for a while, but I’ll most likely have to lose a bet of some kind to smoke the other 23…

Like CWS I like the 5 Vegas Series A by far the best of any of the three or four different ones I’ve tried. It’s noticeably better and a darn good stick. The Relic isn’t going to change that. For me the most predominant thing I noticed was a nicotene burn like sensation on my tongue which did not help in the flavor department as it obscurred some of the taste otherwise. As for the burn itself, I did not touch it up, but it burned a fair bit unevenly and could have benefitted by a correction or two. This cigar needs a little tweaking I’d say and as it stands now I would only recommend it because it’s different and not a “me-too” type stick. Try it, it’s not a bad stick, and you may really like it, but I must say it needs tweaking.

Seems like the relic is a sexy passing fad. It’s like picking up a sexy girl in the bar only to find out when you wake up the next morning that the lighting in the bar was really really bad and you must have been really really drunk. Or like waking up 10 years after being married…well you guys get the picture.

Was interested in the Relic – not so sure now. The best 5 Vegas cigar, in my opinion, is the Serie A – definitely worth a try.

I saw Walt’s first impression on these as well…doesn’t sound like many people care too much for these. I’m one of them

Good review Brian and I think the one I smoked was a tad heavier on the Windex heh. Actually, it tared up so had to do a little clipping. But that left a nasty taste that I didn’t easily get rid of so the cigar was not so good.

But I do have 4 others and I’m hoping to get to the undecided level at a minimum hah.
