5 Vegas Limitada 2006


5 Vegas Limitada 2006 is a fine example of attention to the detail of cigar blending and construction. The wrapper is a sun-grown Ecuadorian Sumatra leaf cultivated in 2000 boasting an attractive, medium-brown - almost reddish - hue. The filler blend is complex, sporting well-aged tobaccos from Brazil and Nicaragua, plus Dominican-grown Piloto Cubano long-fillers, then bound with a Cuban-seed binder. Each of these tobaccos has been aging since 2001. 5 Vegas Limitada burns slow, cool and true, and the aged recipe delivers an array of soothing flavors - it’s medium in body, creamy and smooth from foot to nub with slight hints of pepper.
