This is a good, consistent smoke for the money. Really a good value at about $3.28 a stick. Good enough IMHO to keep a couple boxes in steady rotation in my humi. Also agree that they are not a full strength smoke, more bordering on medium but they do pack a punch. less

I bought a box of Fuerte Magnum then bought a box of Belicoso's... they're both an outstanding cigar... I never had a bad one yet. Had to try them right out of the box right away and what a nice cigar. Not only it the taste good but what a greata looking cigar.
Nice job Famous... you have a winner in this product. less

"Better than the reviews"
I bought a five pack of these because I have ... more
I bought a five pack of these because I have heard that the Olor is a pretty good cigar, I didn't read any of the reviews until after I bought them and was waiting for them to arrive, after reading the reviews I was not looking forward to getting my order but I had to try them once they got here since I spent the money on them, First off I have to say they are a nice looking cigar, they are put together well, I figured if they look this good they must not be that bad, but looks can be deceiving, lucky for me though this was not the case with these cigars, they had a good taste to them when first lit and I was pleasantly surprised that they had a good draw to them as well.
So now I am trying to figure out if these are the same cigar that all the bad reviews were written about?? Could the bad reviews be because of an old bad batch of them or what, they couldn't be the same cigars that I just smoked because the ones I smoked burned well and had a pretty good taste to them along with having a really good draw to them. They stayed together well and I had no difficulties at all from them.
It makes you wonder how some can give a review that is so much different than the one I am giving right now if they smoked the same cigar as I just did.
My only conclusion is that they must have gotten a hold of a bad batch of them, how else could I have so much of a different view on them then so many others that tried them.
I know my taste is not that much different than others to be that much off of my opinion of them.
Lets see what the next guy has to say about the Olor Fuerte Robusto. In my opinion they are a good cigar and I would give them about a 7.43 out of 10. less

"nice wrapper"

we've all seen this mottled wrapper before and for me every time it's proved a hit.the pre light draw was snug and tasted sweet and opened up upon lighting easing the draw and producing tons of smoke,burns fairly straight and cool creamy in the first inch and showing more octane.the finish is satisfying and lingers. i recommend rolling lrg rings frequently to keep them burning right and it helped this one as it tended to lean a bit these cigars are well packed, a box of mag is like 2#! midway and still burning cool and even after tipping off and revealing a long cone it now looks like a small grease fire in this office!the pre light draw taste is still there these undoubtedly will age well.hard as a rock to the nub.will revisit these in spring less

Just a tad initial harshness, but then settles into a nice smooth flavor that lasts throughout. But then the end. Oh my, it's full of surprises. The last inch and a half develops into a nice spicy leather and very mild pepper. I smoke these down to the nub. Watch out, it can get a little hot to the lips, but every draw delivers something a little different than the previous. Nice complex flavors at the end. For a cheap, short smoke these are very much worth every penny! less

"One of the best"

Bought two boxes at auction and so far smoked 4, perfect draw - it's harder to breathe! I found more medium than full in strength but full flavoured without being overpowering, the ash did not stay on long which suprised me, I would have expected an inch at least but didn't affect the quality of the smoke, more of an aestetic thing for me. Good looking Gar and burned very very even throughout every one I smoked, maybe they aged a bit on the flight across to Australia! Up there with the very best and I've been chuffing on cubans for 30 odd years. Will buy again when the stock diminish less
