Dominique CigarsTastes like Helix 550 Mild creamy taste with notes of cedar and a little greeness. I smoked them right upon arrival. Good burn and adequate construction and draw.Tastes like Helix 550 and I would buy again.
This review was written about Dominique Toro 5 Pack by Gavin of Honolulu on September 13, 2008Good for the price, maybe not for everyone.Tried one of these in a sampler. I can understand why someone would say they were good everyday cigars, but I'm not sure they're for everyone. It starts out as a very mild, subtle Dominican smoke with much less flavor than it might seem. As the smoke went on, the flavor got more obvious and intense, very much what one would expect from a good Dominican. But, it's a very dense flavor through almost the whole cigar, more like the kind of intense flavor you get when you reach near the end of a typical cigar. So, that's either a good thing or bad thing depending on your tastes. Me, personally, I thought it was a little too strong, but by no means a terrible cigar.
This review was written about Dominique Toro 5 Pack by Dan of on August 1, 2008Tastes just like a Dominican should.I thought this was waay better than expected. I am a fan of Dominican Republic cigars and this one is fantastic! I would recommend stocking the humi with these now!
This review was written about Dominique Nacionales by Yoop of Oklahoma on May 14, 2008Not bad for the price...I tried a Toro Maduro that came with one of the Famous Samplers. I burned it while cooking on the grill and enjoying a cup of coffee on my back patio. I believe mine was a bit dry, I would have been smart to age it for a few months, but I figured I'd go for it anyway. I noticed a tight, but smokable draw at first. I was only a bit annoyed. The burn was excellent and it stayed lit between me running in and out of the house for 5-10 minutes between puffs at times. The ash was white and held until I knocked it off. The flavor was definitely mild, but not bad. I think I would buy these for an occasional quick burn. Because of the price, I didn't mind throwing out the last 2 inches when I had to take the food inside. I'm going to keep a few handy for my non-smoking buddies to try, after some aging, of course.
This review was written about Dominique Toro 5 Pack by Chris of Los Angeles on March 23, 2008One of my favorite smokes...One of my favorite smokes. There's a very tasty, medium-spicy flavor that lasts through the entire smoke. Burn and construction are near perfect and consistent. The only negative is the occasional hard draw stick that is still very smoke-able. And even though my wife is not a cigar smoker, she will occasionally take a draw on my cigars. She says this one is her favorite! I will definitely be buying more of these.
This review was written about Dominique Toro by Steve S. of Woodbury, CT on October 11, 2007Good Smoke :) Well coming from a Guy that only smoke's Macanudo Gold Label. This is a pretty Good Cigar. It starts out as a nice even burn, Mild to Med. Creamy taste and stayed together pretty good for 45 min. smoke w/ bullit cut. From 1-10 I give it a 7.5 rating. Definitly will buy more.
This review was written about Dominique #52 by Tracy of Syracuse, NY on October 7, 2007Great taste - spicyFantastic smoke for the price. Taste is outstanding, mild to medium and very spicy, hint of cedar. Leave a great after taste which I think in the pro circles is called the 'dance'. One of my favorite smokes.
This review was written about Dominique Toro by Steve of Woodbury, CT on September 11, 2007what a difference a day makesI bought a bundle of these on auction for a measley 33.00 a year and a half ago and had the audacity to complain that the cigar was tight and flavorless. Arthur gave me a little background in his history with this cigar, so I figured, what the heck, I'll stick them in the bottom of the incubator and see what happens. Wow! what a differnece a year makes. The Pierce hs turned into a very easy drawing, medium boddied, spicey cigar. I have learned that it is a useless excercise to take a cigar out of its box and judge it. After 12 month you have a totally different breed of cat. The Pierce is a great exasmple of what a little agin will do. I'm buying a couple of more bundles for this time next year.
This review was written about Dominique Pierce by paul cummins of CA on August 27, 2007Not a good cigarThis cigar has almost no taste.
I tried two out of the bundle of
cigars. I will throw the rest in
the garbage pail.
Interestingly, the other reviews indicate
that this brand of cigars was all right at
the beginning of this decade, and then the
quality deteriorated.
This review was written about Dominique #52 by Alan of New Jersey on August 16, 2007What happened?Maybe I just got a bad example, or maybe my taste buds were taking the day off ... but my experience with this one was not a good one. Started out fine, a very good looking stick, good burn, good draw, and a few puffs of good mild flavor, but then an extreme bitterness appeared, grew, and never left. Wrapper also came apart and started peeling away. Tossed it about half way through. After reading the other reviews, I would probably try it again, just to see if this was a 'freak' .... sure hope so. But this one experience left a bitter taste in my mouth, literally.
This review was written about Dominique Toro by Rick of Missouri on July 4, 2007Fabulous, just like M_c_n_d_Great Cigar for a great price. If I didn't know better I'd think I was smoking the other brand from that factory. A great, everyday, mild cigar. I will be purchasing more of these.
This review was written about Dominique Toro 5 Pack by Christopher Dixon of Upstate NY on May 24, 2007Bad first dateThe Dominique is like woman you meet in a bar. Middling attractive, so you buy her a drink and start a conversation, but by the second drink you discover you have nothing in common and you wasted your money.
I tried a bundle of the #74s they appeared to be dry from the start. That might explain the bland uninteresting taste. In fact it was sort of like sucking on a clogged straw. If there was a classification called Too Mild thats where Id put it. On the positive side the burn was okay, but as I just hinted the draw was constantly tight. I could go on but whats the use. There are better cigars out there for the same or less money.
This review was written about Dominique #74 by Gene of Highlands Ranch, CO on February 23, 2007Extremely disappointing.Inconsistent burn and completely nondescript (and rather unpleasant) flavor. Not recommended. If you're looking for a bargain, try a Leon Jimenes or a Oliva Classic O (while you can still get them) instead.
This review was written about Dominique Toro 5 Pack by David of Atlanta on November 17, 2006Mild is an UnderstatementI've been going through my collection for the last couple of weeks trying to smoke the "what the heck did I buy this for anyway?" cigars.
This one has been in the humidor for about six months. I found that it burned well; was of acceptable construction; and was consistent all the way through; but I have to say, it had little if any taste. If you want to smoke a cigar just to be smoking, this one is fine, if you want to smoke a cigar for the flavor, it isn't.
This review was written about Dominique Toro 5 Pack by Boxtakilla of Broken Arrow, OK on September 24, 2006Hell NoWhere do I begin with these? I got 2 natural wraps and 2 "Maduros". I put the word "Maduros" in parentheses because I think the wrapper is dyed. After smoking about 1/3, my fingers were brown and I could rub the color off the wrapper. I admit, I'm not a "pro" cigar smoker, but that has never happened with any other Maduro I have smoked, and looking it up I saw that dyed wrappers will very often do that. Ok, now for the natural wrapper version: it tastes like warm air. What an incredible ripoff for $70 a bundle.
This review was written about Dominique Pierce by Mark of Hicktown, MI on September 22, 2006I believe I've found my morning coffee companionI've been looking for a reasonably priced cigar that I can enjoy with a cup of french roast - it looks like I've found a good match. Decent construction, nice aroma, mild flavor. Overall a good smoke.
This review was written about Dominique Madison 5 Pack by Phil of Columbus, OH on September 19, 2006Throw it backSearching for a good bundle is like saltwater fishing. You catch alot of junk and only a few keepers. The draw was too tight and the first taste on my lips was that of kerosene. I hope you have a better experience.
This review was written about Dominique Toro by Managuamark of San Antonio on September 6, 2006A Great Find!When the price of my Nat Sherman's went thru the roof all those years ago when the interest in cigars was peaking, I somehow found this baby. And all these years later I keep coming back. Cuban it's not but for the price I cannot find better, anywhere.
This review was written about Dominique Toro by Ron of NYC on June 5, 2006Needs More FlavorThis cigar has everything I like except flavor.
Construction, draw, burn and appearance are all a 10. But the flavor is in the basement. Maybe if they added some Honduran Tabacco or something, I don't know. Anyway, I won't buy anymore.
This review was written about Dominique #52 5 Pack by Bruce of Wickliffe, Ohio on February 24, 2006Not what I thought it would be.Not what I thought it would be. Very inconsistent uneven burn, poor construction lacking in taste, you get what you pay for.
This review was written about Dominique Toro 5 Pack by CHRIS of NYC on February 10, 2006Super-duper mild Soooooooo mild, it almost unbearable to smoke. It didn't have much flavour, and it was a tad sweet. Overall, not bad, I'm not complaing, I got them for 7 bucks. I got a 5 pack and had one, but I'll hold the rest of them for non-smokers.
This review was written about Dominique Madison by Mike of Salinas, CA on August 27, 2005Good ClaroThe claros are the best Dominique cigars I've had so far. Smooth flavor and very enjoyable. Similar to the Olor Paco - although the Olor Paco has a little more flavor. The question is whether these are worth the high price. I'd buy them on sale.
This review was written about Dominique Pierce by Mike of California on March 6, 2005Dominique #52 Claro, great from the startI got a five pack of the <a href="http://www.cigarauctioneer.com/cigars/cigarauctions.cfm">www.cigarauctioneer.com</a> site. Wow, I am so impressed with this cigar. Smooth and tasty right from the start. I'm letting the rest age in the humidor. Can only get better! Thanks Famous Smoke for yet another great cigar vaule.
This review was written about Dominique #52 by Metalbass of Detroit on January 19, 2005Creamy and mildCreamy and mild taste. Construction and draw good. Not sure I would buy at regular price (got a 5-pack at auction) but with the #52 I can sit and read most of a newspaper and relax.
This review was written about Dominique #52 by JP of Herndon, Virginia on November 19, 2004Good at the beginning, bad at the endA nice, but over priced maduro, at the start of the smoke. About halfway through turns acrid and bitter. Aroma and taste at the halfway mark has overtones that are not pleasant, remarkably like being down wind of a distant stockyard.
Good at the beginning, very unpleasant at the end.
This review was written about Dominique #74 by Mike Reynolds of Camp Verde. Az on October 26, 2004Great mild smoke. Well constructed, smooth burn.My second best favorite smoke behind Dunhill.
This review was written about Dominique #74 by Russell Latham of Tulsa, OK on July 29, 2004Just OK nowHave to agree with another smokers review on 11/11/03. I have smoked at least 100 Madisons made by Fuente. The last two bundles were made by General cigar. The just don't burn good. They lost a little in taste too. Price needs to drop. Famous tell me it takes time with a switch like this. Time is running out. The best thing for Famous Smoke to do is have Fuente produce the Dominique again. I will probably just spend the money for a Fuente product now.
This review was written about Dominique Madison by Mike Ward of CA on June 9, 2004A mild smoke with a creamy smoothnes. Great ValueI would highly recommend this cigar to anyone looking for a great smoke at an affordable price.
This review was written about Dominique Madison by Gary James of Cleveland Ohio on March 30, 2004Not what they used to be...I used to buy Dominiques quite often when the Fuentes were making them for FSS... and always really enjoyed them. However, now that General Cigar is making them they're not what they used to be! Overall construction is less than it used to be and the flavor is no match for the old Fuente version.
Don't get me wrong, they're not *bad* per se, just average and, well... plain. I used to consider the Fuente-made versions premium cigars that came in bundles... these General-made ones are defintely true bundle cigars... only problem is, they don't really have a bundle price tag (i.e. they're too expensive for what you get!)
Won't be buying them again unless they price drops to a level proportionate to their quality. Too bad too... feel like I lost a mainstay! Oh well....
This review was written about Dominique Madison by Jon O'Neall of Peoria, AZ on November 11, 2003OKThe Maduro is better than the Naturals. However, this smoke just lacks excitement. It is OK - the flavor is ho-hum. For the price, there are much better alternatives. Don Mateo Maduro is much better and cheaper. Private Stock #11 and Leon Jimenes are great Maduros. This one is not.
This review was written about Dominique Toro by Mike of California on October 11, 2003Not BadJust OK - Burn was perfect, draw was average. Taste was nothing exciting. Had a couple good drags - but last inch and half was hot and not very enjoyable. I wouldn't buy again. There are better choices for the price. I've had better Value Line Cigars. Baccarrat Rothschild, Troya Rothschild, Romeo Julietta Bully are better Cigars and around the same price. Go Figure.
This review was written about Dominique Toro by Mike of California on October 10, 2003Nice cigar but not consistantI like these cigars and have been smoking them for a few years but it always seems I get a few in the bundle that won't draw. I usually wind up throwing away 4-5 per bundle.
This review was written about Dominique Nacionales by Bob K of Brick, NJ on June 21, 2003Well worth the priceI ordered a single (Pierce) recently and was very pleased. I will definitely order more. The taste was pleasant with a beautiful draw. A definite "8" in my book.
This review was written about Dominique Pierce by George Middlebrook of Minneapolis, MN on June 12, 2002OK, if you like mediocrity.I'm sorry but I don't see what's special. This cigar is well constructed and smokes well, but I found it somewhat harsh with a papery finish. on a scale of one to ten, I would give this a 5. I bought the sampler and have yet to find one I would buy again.
This review was written about Dominique Madison by Jim Bauer of Nebraska on May 24, 2002The Toro was a very nice little cigaI liked this cigar. Draw was smooth. Very even nice white ash. Flavor and aroma nice a mild. I was nicely surprised with this one. I'd buy again. Try the sampler. I think you'd enjoy.
This review was written about Dominique Toro by Dan Elam of Searcy, AR on January 8, 2002Great value in a fabulous smoke.I've smoked many brands and varieties costing much more and this rates very high on my list of great cigars. I'm just glad that it's priced so I'm able to smoke it as my everyday treat! Thanks FSS and I hope you are able to stock this gem for years to come.
This review was written about Dominique Toro by Mike Bateman of Phillipsburg, NJ on December 13, 2001Great value in a fabulous smoke.I was persuaded to try this cigar during a visit to the FSS retail shop. I'm so glad I consented. I routinely try different cigars, many costing much more than the Dominique Toro and have been continually lured back to this fine smoke. I have found it is by far the best stick for the money. I hope FSS stocks it forever. Thanks for the suggestion.
This review was written about Dominique Toro by Mike Bateman of Phillipsburg, NJ on December 8, 2001Get a Box (bundle?)Excellent cigars! Bundled or not these are great cigars. Beautiful smoke, soft ash, well rolled, and a pleasure to light up. I recommend the Pierce. I smoke these everyday that I can, and I pass them out to my friends.
This review was written about Dominique Pierce by Matt of Little Rock, AR on November 28, 2001Excellent Smoke For The PriceHad the opportunity to try the Dominique Pierce (Nat) and it was an excellent smoke, especially for around $3 a pop. Better than a lot of the smokes that cost twice as much.
This review was written about Dominique Pierce by Chris Moore of Easton, PA on September 13, 2001Wonderful surpriseI'm always leery about bundles... had more than a few disappointments. But no disappointment here! These Dominiques are an EXCELLENT cigar. Smooth and creamy taste, burn is excellent and draw is perfect. Definitely a winner.
This review was written about Dominique #52 by Joe Barta of Cleveland, Ohio on June 13, 2001SPICEY LITTLE GUYThe 1st one of a sampler, the Toro comes off with a loose gray ash, easy draw, medium - full strength but with a lot of spices. Personally I dont like pepper in my smokes.Hope the others are better.
This review was written about Dominique Toro by WAYNE of FLORIDA on May 17, 2001great smokeGreat cigar for the price. I've been smoking these for some time now and continue to be satisfied.
This review was written about Dominique Pierce by gene kunak of pittsburgh on April 27, 2001Nice change of pace smoke.When I first started smoking cigars in the 70's claros were very popular. Not sure why they (claro wrappers) fell out of favor. This is a nice mild smoke with a unique flavor because of the wrapper. Good aroma, and nice flavor. Get ready to answer lots of questions about why your cigar is green!
This review was written about Dominique Madison by Manny Gomez of Henderson Nevada on October 11, 2000Best everyday cigar aroundOne of the finer smokes I have had. Very smooth mild taste, good draw, and light after taste. The Fuente hand is evident in this well constructed cigar. For the money it would be hard to find a better everyday smoke.
This review was written about Dominique Toro by Roger Clark of Newhall, Ca on September 26, 2000Mild creamy taste with a smooth finishMild creamy taste with smooth finish. Great size and the Fuente heritage comes through in the flavor and composition of this fine cigar. One of my favorites,notwithstanding its a "bundle" cigar.
Don't let that stop you from trying them, especially at their attractive price which becomes a "steal" when they go on sale.
This review was written about Dominique Madison by Richard Gerken of Rosemont, IL on September 22, 2000Even Burning, Good Draw, Well Constructed, MediumDefinitely much higher quality than one expects from a "bundle" cigar. Exhibits Fuente quality. Consistency from cigar to cigar, even burning, good draw, and a pleasant flavor, neither too mild or strong.
This review was written about Dominique Toro by Ed Green of Anaheim, CA on August 17, 2000The dark and blonde wrapper variants mild & smoothThese 8 1/2's are an excellent value. I split an double order with my smoking buddy and we are going back for more! These "cousins" of the Fuente line are great.
This review was written about Dominique #52 by Michael Vazzana of Pensacola, FL on April 5, 2000GREAT everyday cigar!!!Since I can't smoke in my office, I use the Dominque as my "pacifier", chewing on it all day long, occasionally cutting off the chewed end. At the end of the day, I usually have half of this cigar left, and I light it and smoke it on the way home. It's a smooth, fairly mild smoke, but taste really rivals more expensive premiums.
This review was written about Dominique #52 by Ken Cameron of Dallas, TX on March 25, 2000Best cigar i ever smokedDominiques smoke better than any other cigar i have smoked, better than fuentes.
This review was written about Dominique Madison by Peter Hoffman of Massachusetts on March 24, 2000EVERYONE SHOULD TRY THEMI bought one, smoked it, and immediately ordered more. It is no wonder: it is FUENTE-Made. Very good value for your money. Good any time of day, even on an empty stomach. The draw is good, burns even, good aroma. Definitely a premium smoke. Worth more than what I paid for them.
This review was written about Dominique Toro by Alfonso Gómez of San Juan, Puerto Rico on February 7, 2000Best bundle cigarsI've had bad experience with bundled cigars in the past. Not until a friend of mine told me of this bundle. Since ordering this bundle of cigars, I always make sure I have a few stocked away. This cigar has all the features of a very well made "box" cigar. The "draw" and the "burn" are my pet peeve when it comes to smoking cigars. Thats why I pick this to be the best bundle cigar out there.
This review was written about Dominique Toro by EB of Washington on January 30, 2000For the price, not badNot a bad taste for the money, no bitterness. A little flowery taste that doesn't overwelm the experience. More taste than I expected for bundle cigar.
This review was written about Dominique Nacionales by Jery Kaliszewski of Cleveland, Ohio on January 8, 2000Very smooth taste - An excellent cigar !This is a very good cigar with a smooth taste and excellent overall quality. I've added it to the "Favorites" section of my monthly order form. I will always keep them on hand.
This review was written about Dominique Madison by Mark Polczynski of Standish, MI on January 7, 2000perfect smoke anytime of the dayThe Dominque line is a terrific buy. Easy draw and never has to be relit. Silky feel and taste.
This review was written about Dominique Pierce by Lee of Connecticut on December 31, 1999Best Kept Fuente SecretI LIKE Fuente's. This is the next best fuente after the canone. If you like Fuente's you will like these.
This review was written about Dominique #74 by SS of Orlando on November 15, 1999Superior to the Fuente itselfSurprisingly enough, I found this cigar to be more flavorful than the Fuente Rothschild Maduro. I don't know if it was just a good bundle versus a bad box, but that was my honest opinion coming away from comparing the two. A little side note, for what its worth: My girlfriend (who is not a regular cigar smoker) loves the Dominique Toro Maduro and always asks me to make sure I have a few around.
This review was written about Dominique Toro by JP of Los Angeles on September 22, 1999The best kept secret around!!This cigar has to be the best kept secret around. If you like Arturo Fuente's.. you'll love this cigar. I usually shy off bundled cigars, but this bundle of cigars I always keep in my humidor.
The best kept secret about all this is.. you'll only find it here at FAMOUS!
