I usually don't like to review a cigar after smoking only 3, so I may upgrade this puppy at a later date. I've been smoking the Coronas and Double Coronas in the 5 Vegas Classic for 2 or 3 months, and they're both have made their way into my regular rotation. Between the two, I've found very little difference in taste or construction.
And, I found no problems with the construction or burn with the Robusto either. I smoked one of 'em outside in a 25 mph wind and the burn hardly varied. The flavor in the first inch or so led me to believe these Robustos were going to be from a flavor standpoint, very similar to the Coronas. But as I got further in to the smoke, it developed a bitter taste, nothing really bad, but something than was not there at all with the Coronas. I'm going to give the rest of them a couple of months in the humi and give them a second try at a later date. These Classics are some of the most well constructed cigars I've found in this price range and I plan to keep smoking the Coronas on a regular basis at the prices I've been able to buy them and hopefully the Robusto, which is my preferred shape, will lose the bitter flavor after a little age.
Smoking times were a little over 30 minutes. Price paid on the DS was 7.00/5pack+shipping which is the price I've been paying for almost all of the Coronas and Double Coronas.
