"Worst cigar ever"

Vile does not begin to describe this cigar. If the makers were trying to capture the flavor of celery (which appears to be the plant portrayed on their band) with notes of dusting rag, then kudos. They nailed it. I got these as a gift from my wife and I don't have the heart to tell her how bad they are but if I can save one soul the misery and loss of cash from buying these then this will have been a success. If you want a great bargain cigar, stay with the FSS 1000 series or value line. They are top shelf.

"Good smoke for the price"

Tastey for a cheapo. Unfortantly the wrappers seem to split on me often.

"Worth Checking Out"

Most cigar "re-births" mean nothing more than a new band and new packaging, but Bayamo is one of those rare exceptions. Very well made with excellent burn and draw, this new blend with the criollo wrapper is quite tasty with notes of cedar, almonds and leather and a slightly sweet finish. Much more than I was expecting. Nice job, Famous!

"Very pleasant smoke"

I won the Bayamo robusto five pack at auction and I find it a delightful cigar. I smoked one on my porch(last day of vacation) and was impressed by the easy draw ,excellent construction,and unique flavor.There is a spice or herbal hint that I just can not identify,I suppose that's what you guys call complexity. the cigar has a light gray ash that holds on and then reveals a perfect cherry. The price is right too, but I believe the difference between a 10.00 cigar and a two dollar cigar is often $8.00.

"Excellent, but."

I got a box of 25, and smoked 15 so far. Out of the 15, the flavor is excellent, the burn is even, ash is a good 2 inches,stays lit, but..... out of the 15 i smoked, at lesst 10 of them had wrappers that split, and split open BAD, to the point of non-smokable. This cigar would have been my favorite of all if not for the wrappers. Sorry........

"Very well made"

I bought a box of these some time ago and rather lost them in the bottom of the humidor. I was looking for something different to smoke and ran across the box. I was really pleased with them. Great construction and appearance with an easy, even draw. They were quite light but with very nice, subtle flavors. Worth much more then the asking price (don't tell Famous this)

"What a shame."

Wow... Great taste and good looking cigar. It is just a shame that the wrapper is awful. I had good luck with these for a while but lately for some reason they are falling apart. The wrapper is so thin and full of veins that on average about seven to ten cigars in a box of twenty are not even smoke able. If you can deal with that then this is the smoke for you. As for me? I have been smoking three cigars a day for the past 15 years. I am sick of inconsistent cigars. I think I am going to just quit this dirty little habit. ;o)

"Tastes a bit young"

I couldn't pass up FSS's sale on these because I'm eternally looking for a good cigar at a budget pricing. I've had about 1/2 dozen out of the box I purchased and I must say they are not fully mature yet. They have a nice feel and weight in the hand. The draw is a bit quick, but I use a punch instead of a cutter and it helps a little bit. The cigar produces lots of thick smoke, but the flavor simply isn't there. It's not that the cigar is mild (which it is), but it seems like it hasn't had enough time to develop complexity of flavor. In fact, it tastes "green." I'll age them for a few more months and try again, but I won't buy them again.

"For the price very good"

I got a five pack of these on sale just recently and found that they were about as good as you could expect for the price you pay for them. I'll admit I'm a pretty new cigar smoker I've only tried a handful of brands, but this is for sure not the worst I have ever smoked. It was one of the best draws I've ever had and it was constructed great. The only thing I didn't like was the taste, but it kinda grows on you toward the end of the cigar. I wouldn't suggest buying them unless you can get a sale deal or add them to a sampler, but none the less one stick you should check out for sure.
