My first purchase from Cigar.com was two 5 packs of the 5 Vegas Classic Double Corona. Now, I didn’t really expect much from this cigar, but it surprised me. At $17.90 for 10 sticks with free shipping, this is a very affordable cigar that makes a great regular smoke. According to cigar.com:

“An old Cuban tradition, the 5 Vegas Classic is a medium bodied creamy smoke with a great everyday low price.

This cigar captures everything about a high end premium cigar, except for the price. 5 Vegas has answered the age old question “Can’t someone make a cigar that sells for $3.00 but tastes like a $10.00 cigar?” Well folks, clear room in your humidor. 5 Vegas has a creamy medium body that is accentuated by its Dominican and Nicaraguan long fillers and finished with a Sumatra wrapper. Each 5 Vegas is meticulously crafted by expert cigar rollers to ensure a top quality product.

You will find subtle complexities about this cigar that make it consistent box to box and deliver quality and value every time. Earthy and toasty with a medium finish, it won’t take long for this cigar to become one you can enjoy everyday.”

The first line describes it best – medium bodied and creamy. And creamy is what I like about cigars. At $1.79/cigar, it’s an amazing value and I agree, it was toasty and a what I’d consider a medium cigar. If you’re looking for a cheap and quality smoke, I recommend picking this one up.

And in case you were wondering, at 6 x 48, this is a decent sized cigar. Oh yeah, it has Nicaraguan fillers and a Sumatra wrapper.
