I just had this cigar straight from the box on delivery. Once again Famous, nor Camacho dissapoint. Nice medium bodied cigar with a woodsy kind of flavor. Mine burned just a little uneven, but I smoked it outside with a pretty good breeze blowing. I'm sure with a little time in the humidor they'll be even better. less

"Unfortunately harsh, disappointing cigar"

First, I love almost everything Camacho makes and second, I tend to be a tough reviewer so I hold off until I've smoked several cigars, often from different sources. I'd much rather write a positive review of a great product, but this isn't in that category. Like all Camacho cigars, construction is nearly perfect. Appearance is rich, dark and delicious. But this is a very different profile for Camacho and it doesn't suit me at all. I won a box of Toro's at auction, eagerly opened them and they looked mouth-watering! I lit one up and was stunned at how harsh, bitter and strong (not "full-bodied", just strong) it was. I let them rest, smoked one a week for the past several weeks and after 2 months, they haven't improved. Sorry, but for my taste, I can't recommend these. For comparison, the Camacho Corojo and Cayolor are among my favorites, and the Perdomo 70th's are excellent. less

"Good job, Famous...it IS a Camacho!"

I bought these Famous 70th Camacho Robustos during a Cigar Monster special, even after reading one review stating how horrible they were. I cannot speak for that person, but, as one who enjoys Camacho cigars a lot, I'd have to say it ranks right up there with the regular Camacho brands. To me, with its Dominican/Honduran blend, it seems very similar to the new Room101...maybe a cross between it and the Camacho Connecticut, in taste. I did not find it overly strong, like a full... it was more like a stronger medium. The wrapper was tight and burned well with the typical Camacho draw, and the ash was firm, though it formed a cone every time I used the ashtray. I've smoked two so far...one with morning coffee and the other while driving, and have noticed no difference in taste. The regular pricing could be lowered a bit, though, IMHO, as this is not a Camacho "regular". All in all, however, I am pleased with my purchase. In the meantime, I'll just wait til they appear on Cigar Monster again! less
