great draw and the taste is surprisingly good,woody and slightly creamy but you can't get one of these to burn right to save your life!despite all that there is a distinct coffee finish on these and tons of smoke but they go fast too. i have not had a bad stick from nestor yet. when i bought them i knew upfront that this was a yard gar and that's what it remains. less

got these in a free sampler about a year ago and spotted them in one of my humidors. looked good, fair/mediocre flavor in the beginning, then started tasting like i don't know what, and got skanky about two thirds through. i don't ditch many cigars, but i did this one. if the ground wasn't frozen outside, i'd have buried them. oh well. sorry FS, another lump of coal for your stocking. less

bought these in early september and let them sit waiting for them to get better. They're still lousy. Soft inside, poor burn, tunneling, soggy etc. Move along. less

I bought a 10 pack from one of the Famous Auctions. I was expecting a fair to moderate quality Maduro cigar. Was I pleasantly surprised!!! For the money I Can't remember when I have enjoyed a cigar more! The flavor was creamy with a slight sweet after taste, an even burn, and nice aroma. I will definitely buy some more when I have more room in my humidor! less

These will be in my humidor just pretty much forever. Of all the el-cheapo cigars I have tried, in my quest to find a truly good 'cheap' cigar, these have been head-and-shoulders above the rest. Fairly good burn, good draw and an absolutely fine flavor. Don't discontinue them, Famous, now that I'm 'hooked'! less

Tried this biggy on cigar monster as a morning golf cigar. So far a little soft and really no flavor at all. Guess I'll give it some more hummy time...at this price I can afford to wait I guess. less

They had a slight acid taste that many enjoy, not too harsh but there. Sometimes given to running but a fair burn. They were consistent and that's a good thing. Lastly, ya can't beat the price! less

I keep re_visiting these as I have them scattered around different places. A couple of years ago they floated my boat then the next were only average, now the latest bundle just have no flavour at all. I still crave a Candela like the old Don Tomas babies.As a cheap smoke there are better at Famous but keep them for a while if you have the space and see if they do it for you. less

This cigar tastes so good with coffee, american whiskey, or a strong malt like a Bass Pale Ale or Sam Adam's Boston Lager, you literally won't believe what your taste buds are telling you. I can't believe the price is so low. I picked up a box at auction for like $10(no sh*t, I think it was actually $9). I'm four cigars into the bundle and I give them a 10 for consistency. Let's all agree right now that we won't bid more than $10, and just take turns picking up a bundle every few months as they come up for auction :) less
