I love this cigar for the price and the taste. If you are lucky to win them at auction it is even better. They have not been up for auction in a long time, hope they come up soon. less

I like Honduran cigars, but this is something different. I just tossed a bundle of these after a year of aging. I had hoped the tar-paper taste would mellow out some, but even mellow tar-paper is not enjoyable.
The wrapper looks like tar-paper, thick and black. Then comes the surprise: it also smells and tastes like burning petroleum products. Since the first half-inch smells like burning insect parts, I don't think most people would get beyond that.
I think these tunneled pretty bad. I cannot be sure because after the first inch I gave up.
Famous has their brand on many, many great cigars. These are not among that group. less

I won the Hunduran Toro Maduro 6x50 in an auction. When I git the from the Man with Brown(UPS)I was like a kid with a new toy. I just had to light one up. It was Crap. The draw was harsh, it canoed down almost half way. Nothing I tried worked. I put them in the humidor hoping the next one might be smokable(I don't even know it that's a word. I going to let them rest and give them another chance. less

If you can get these on sale, they might be worth it. Not really worth $1 a stick, though, let alone more. They kind of remind me of the Tabamex maduros, and it wouldn't surprise me if these Hondurans get their wrapper from the San Andreas Valley.
Just to be clear, I'm not saying these are unsmokable, just not to expect very much. less

Some were fair but most were not pleasant tasting - even after months in a humidor! In this case, I got what I paid for. Will not buy again less

I bought bundles of these at auction a few weeks ago and so far, not so good.
Although the label says "Churchill", the ones I got are actually a "pyramid", although not very pronounced in taper. The wrapper is very dark. Strength is medium to full. As an earlier reviewer noticed, fresh from the bundle, they tend to burn right up the middle (tunnel), leaving the wrapper unburned after the first half-inch. Let's hope some time in the Igloodor helps. less
