5 Vegas Classic Fifty-Five Gordo

5 Vegas Classic Fifty-Five Gordo is a 5.5 x 55 Gordo from Nicaragua, listed at Medium strength.

The Classic blend combines Sumatra wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and Cuban-seed long-fillers from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. The original red-label 5 Vegas blend is closely associated with Nestor Plasencia’s production and has long been one of the best-known cigars in the portfolio. Its established flavor direction centers on deep tobacco, toast, coffee, nuts and gentle spice. Its medium body keeps the cigar rich and flavorful without pushing into the heavier character of Series A.

The Fifty Five is a 5.5 x 55 box-pressed format, combining a broad ring gauge with squared construction for a substantial but manageable Classic. A Gordo carries a high proportion of filler tobacco and typically burns cooler and longer than a slimmer cigar of similar length. The dimensions change the balance of wrapper to filler and the pace of the smoke, giving this vitola a distinct personality even though it shares the same tobacco recipe as the other Classic sizes.
