The one that started it all

This is the cigar that got me hooked on full flavored Hondurans & Nicaraguans.
Strong, nutty flavor with coffee undertones. Easy drawing, but sometimes a little inconsistent.

Brevas

For a medium smoke, this is my favorite cigar. Been smoking them for years.

This cigar is a real sandbagger!! Tremendous Smoke

If you?re web surfing feverishly for some budget boxes of smokes, quit looking. This machine made, non-long filer poser can charade as one of the big boys. Your nose, and mouth will never know the difference. I would love to blind fold a cigar snob and jumble this one in with a roster of expensive selections. Good luck, mate!
Of course, cigars are not meant to be smoked blind folded, and the appearance is part of the know-how. If Macanudos were free, I?d never smoke another Bances Crown again. But they aren't free, so when I want to burn 3 or 4 mild smokes sequentially on the links, or not waste a favorite because I've had too much to drink - this is a first choice. If you purchase these and are disappointed, I'll buy your leftovers.
Cheers,
Todd Ostenson.

Hopefully a Better Review

I get a box because they were on sale and they looked nice but there wasn't much in reviews. So hopefully this will help others. First of all they have crappy wrappers, they hold together nice but they look horrible. They burn ok and draw is fine, and their construction is great. But when it comes to taste, well to put it simply, they stink. Bad flavor and they leave a nasty taste in your mouth(and my wife complains after I have one that I stink). Also they say ring size is 50, nope, it is about a 44-46. In my opinion these are a bunch "gas station" counter cigars and thats where they should be. On the bright side, after one of these and you light up a ANDROS or La Floridita, they sure taste great!

The WORST cigars I've ever purchased from Famous.

They look great, but burn like cardboard, and taste like sugar-dipped gym socks.

Great Value

Those who mourned the demise of the Breva will find solace with the Crown Maduro. Good medium strength taste - light spicieness. Great value.
