"Not good"
Got this in a sampler and wasn't impressed at all.Wouldn't smoke again even if it was free.

"Not aged long enough"
I`v had maybe one out of seven taste "right", the rest have tasted sick, like maybe the baco is`nt aged long enough. Construction was also poor, with most splitting and needing to be tossed way before the nub.
I`m usually not this harsh with Famous, as it is my favorite vender, but these are a waist of money IMO.

"enjoyable smoke"
Just got a 5-pack in from an auction and I really enjoyed the first one.
Although, it isn't anything ground breaking, it is a very pleasant smoke. I will pick up some more.

"Flavorless/Poor Burn"
I bought a 5 pack of the Grand Robustos on The Monster to get free shipping for my order; so I chose these among the least expensive offerings. Being Italian, I was drawn to the name...Artorius. Since the 5 pack was free shipping essentially, I had no expectations. On inspection, it looked well-made with a nice label. The stick was firm but had no weight; it was like air in my hand. I toasted and fired it. The first couple of draws produced a spicy, woodsy taste with thick smoke. After that, it continued to produce thick, white smoke but the flavor disappeared entirely. An added nuisance on my continuing flavorless journey was the fact that the burn required constant correction. So, halfway in, I put Arty down and let him go to meet his god of war (Mercury, I think). Oh well, free shipping.

"Average at best"
At best this is an average smoke. I just finished the 5th of my 5er and according to my database it has been one year since I added them to my humi. Don't get me wrong, it's not a horrible smoke, but you can find many better for the same price (think I got these 5/$15). Reminds me of a rosado, but brings nothing new to the table. Keep checking cigar monster, for $15, you can find much better smokes in the same price range. Try Oliva or Pepin and Rocky's. I also scored 5ers of 601 blue robusto's for the same price, now that's a deal and they smoke these "smokes" and day of the week.

"Very nice stick"
I purchased a box through cigar auctioneer without any expectation. After smoking a several, I am really liking these sticks. Good flavor and aroma, solid feel in the hand. One or two burn issues, but nothing that ruined the occasion. Recommended.

"Nice surprise..."
I was not expecting much from this house brand, but bought a 5pk and have been very surprised at the taste and complexity of this stick. Started off with good woodsy and peppery notes and then mellowed out with a nice leathery consistent flavor. Construction not perfect, had a few veins but was rolled well. Overall a good stick for the price. Would definitely recommend a try.

"GREAT SURPRISE"
I got these as part of the "Artichoke King" sampler paired with CAO Criollo. Usually you enjoy the name brand and tolerate the of brand as a good bang for the buck. I have to tell you I was so surprised. First of all I am a big CAO fan - especially the Brazilia. So I was prepared to really enjoy the CAO Criollo. Wow, was I shocked. The Artorious Grand Robusto was better in every way. I first have to say that I am primarily tactile. I respond to how a cigar feels in my hand. How it sustains being cut with my bullet cutter without falling apart. Finally, the cigar, for lack of a better term, felt nicely stout and balanced in the hand. After lighting it and allowing it to settle in for about an inch, I was pleasantly rewarded with a complex, leathery smoke with nice earth tones and a moderate finish. The ash was firm and white, and the burn was beyond reproach. I did not need to touch it up or relight once. What can I say. in this rare instance, the Artorious blew the CAO Criollo away. This may be my go-to cigar (I only smoke about 3 a week, maybe a few more in the summer when the windows are open. It's worth the $ for the test, and at 1/2 the cost of the CAOs you can't go wrong. Don't get me wrong, the CAO Brazilias are still in my playbook, but this is a new and welcome addition.

"Surpisingly Good"
I wasn't expecting much from this cigar, but I got a pleasant surprise! Good burn and draw. great flavor, down to the nub. I usually smoke much more expensive cigars. I will definitely revisit this brand.
