I have not tried all 5 yet I have had the Vagabond, Fugitive, and the Renegade. I got the 5 pack because I couldn't decide.
I had the Vagabond about a week ago. I am very impressed that I can get the amount of smoke from a cigar this tightly wrapped and tapered at each end. This is a very nice cigar with lots of flavors that you would get in a medium and just slightly leaning toward the full body side. This is a very smooth cigar with no harsh bite or pepper spices. So if you are looking for something to smoke that won't take you long, due to it's diminutive size but want all the flavor of a larger medium body cigar then this is a nice choice.
Last night after a long day at work I headed to my porch for a real testing of the Nomads. I am more of a Robusto kind of guy, I have found it is the right size for me unless I am playing golf. I take the Renegade and go through my light up, and evaluation ritual. I use a straight cut, smell the cigar, sniff the foot, and take a couple of cold draws. I get some nice dark flavors leaning toward the coffee or chocolate but not overpowering. I light the Renegade and anticipating maybe a heavy spice start but it never came, but that doesn't mean it wasn't flavorful it was. This cigar filled my mouth and nose with tons of white billowing smoke. The flavors are consistent throughout the cigar, but with not many major changes. So the Renegade is very good just not overly complex.
A little while ago I tried the Fugitive The flavors are all good but truly not getting the smoke I got from the other 2. I found I was working to hard to get a good draw of smoke. I am The Newbie so I might have cut it wrong or something but I just couldn't get it to smoke properly. I will blame this on me because I have made lots of mistakes on this journey. You got to remember this all started in February 2012.
My overall impression of the Nomads is that they are very good and I am looking forward to smoking the Navigator, and the Drifter I have left. These cigars are very nice looking with a medium colored wrapper, and a bit of an oily texture you would think of more on a dark wrapper. I will keep these in my boxes because they are good. This is a new brand and my opinion is they are definitely worth trying out. I got the 5 pack sampler and I am very glad I did.
My reviews don't have numbers because, I am to new, to get that exact. So would I buy a box? No but I definitely will get a 5 pack of the Renegades I really liked them. I would also get some Vagabonds for the times I need a quick smoke.
