It's a nice budget smoke, and my personal favorite so far within the 5 Vegas brand. It may have been sitting for a year, maybe two; so that may have helped.
Does become a bit rough around the edges after the initial puffs, but I liked it, and it smoothens out after a bit. Solid flavor throughout. Medium zone. Nice construction.
$1 well spent. Wouldn't mind having these in the tuppie as a nice tosser.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210717/f36d2086886a93013caabce94a85d0d4.jpg

Tasted good and cheap enough to toss it if I had a call on the radio

You try cask strength?Seen them on Cigarbid. Had a different 5 Vegas earlier this year that was god awful and I didn't want to bid on more till others in my tuppie smoked good.
Edit: 5 Vegas Big Five was the shit stick.
Is it recommended?

Sent from my SM-G930V using TapatalkKnowing kinda what you like, and what you've had - I'd say check out the ME1, Cabaiguan and Nuevitas.

I've had the black Label private Reserve petite Lancero and it was excellent.
And at 6x38, its a bigger rg than most lanceros seem to be so it wasn't too tight and had excellent smoke volume, unlike some other Lanceros I have had

Not sure you really need to make the wait for aging them
