I just got in my box of the 5 Vegas Panetelas. For those who have some on the way let me say these are excellent smokes. I was skeptical when I placed my bid last week but now I'm glad I did. Don't let the size fool you. These sticks smoke for a good 45 minutes. And there are surprisingly medium bodied. I was expecting a milder smoke. Very good cigar in my opinion.. for what its worth!

I am waiting for the boxes that I won with much anticipation. I have some of the Double Coronas, and enjoy them very much. I'm looking forward to the smaller size. The Double Coronas take a while to smoke, and sometimes I don't have the time. The bad part is, I live on the West coast and won't see them until Monday, and I'll be out of town that day!!

Next time request USPS Priority Mail shipping instead of UPS Ground. Priority is 3-5 days max even to the left coast. ;)

you know hardly with exception everyone here including myself though I didn't buy the latest Vegas bargain for I don't have the space as I loaded up on the Doble Coronas, think these a great line of cigars. I don't understand why this company seems to be struggling. The cigars lately on auction have probably been sitting in a warehouse aging for some time before CI got them and that probably explains why one could smoke them out of the box. Perhaps in the past they rushed these to market too fast, as these are terrible when young, and may have turned many people off.

Guys..., these are very good news. The box I won sits at CB/CI until tomorrow, Friday. I only have shipments on Fridays. Can't wait to get them now. Have won 5-packs of both Double Coronas, Petit Coronas and Vintage Selection Coronas. The latter being on the milder side. All excelent smokes. This is the first box that I purchace. Glad it tuned out being (one hell of) a good win. Keep herfin'. PS. Check out Rookies, sorry OUR.... (couldn't resist Rookie ;))new club at http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/kcscigaraficionados.

DAMMIT HANSEN (MM-BOP!) !!!...LOL..I've tried a few of the Cinco (or 5 Vegas) Vegas and I just don't like them...The flavor is OK but it doesn't develop much at all, very mild...A little sweet-tasting also, almost like a Baccarat (yuck)...I just don't see what people like about them...I only had five (cinco..lol) of them, so maybe I just had a bad bunch...Dunno....

I'll have to wait until Tuesday to try mine. I have the Friday shipments too. No big deal though, I'll smoke some Mayorgas while I wait....

Rookie, I'll bet the sweet ones you had was of the Vintage Selection line. Smoked a VS 5V Corona friday and noticed a slightly sweet taste. Not from the wrapper as on Carbonells (and probably Baccarats), but from the tobacco. Wasn't bad though, but their regular line is better.

I got mine today and smoked one right away. Pretty nice smoke, the flavor was nice, mild to medium in strength. Well worth the price...
