Part of a freebe sampler, I figured on burning a "rocket" while my prizes relaxed in the humi for a few weeks. WOW! I was suprised right away with the flavor. The last 3rd got a little bitter, but I can't wait to age some of these and try them again. Can't score over 50 on consistency, unfortunately I only had one. less

I smoked one of these right out of the box after receiving them and I wasn't that impressed as the burn was uneven and tasted somewhat like a Roi-Tan.I do think some time in my humidor will help tremendously. less

I just won my second auction of the Toros and picked up the Presidente for the first time. The corojo toros are a great med. to full flavored treat, better, IMHO, than many sticks I've paid 3x as much for. I can't recall a bad burn, nothing but pleasant smoking from last year's batch,can't wait to sample this shipment. less

Usually smoke maduros. Bought a box of these for variety. These are keepers! What a great stick for when you want a milder yet very flavorful cigar. Creamy and zesty, like a malted vanilla milkshake with cinnamon, an excellent flavor combination. The cigars are extremely well constructed, burn nicely with generous tight white ash and hold up very well right to the nub. I'd rate the experience 9.25. What a great value. Thanks Famous! less

"Surprisingly Good Smoke - ARTHUR, 'Call' Options ?"
Didn't realize how good a smoke this was unti... more
Didn't realize how good a smoke this was until I lit up one of my [very decent] "everyday smokes" right after the Aspira -- had to put it down it was so bland.
Great tasting cigar, very well made, but to me, not that "full", more like a good medium body. Dynamite value at the sale price. That's the problem, you don't know until you try it, and then it's back at the high price.
Hey, ARTHUR, have you considered selling "CALL's" [the option] on these when you put them on sale ? A 21-30-day version, which allows a week of shipping time. less

These winged their way across the Atlantic and whilst most of the box will be laid down, the first few out of the box are really pleasant and burn well even outside in the in wind along the River Thames in winter.
These are nice n cheap little handmades - I'll get used to the box pressing with time. Makes cutting them easy though.

This is a very enjoyable, good looking and well made cigar. Good draw and the tasty corojo wrapper is very evident. Tastes similar to some Cubans which I have enjoyed. I smoke these down till I feel my fingers burn!! I will not hesitate to get more of these less
