Famous Exclusives Cigars

Taste okay but terrible draw

I ordered these last year, they were on back order so I waited. When I received them they looked great. The only bone with these cigars is the draw is terrible. I have aged these over a year @ 65% and the draw has stayed the same.

alright taste, horrible burn

This review was written about Famous Cattivo Nero by andrew of minnesota on July 11, 2008

If you wait, they're really great

Great value, sent quickly. They were really too moist to smoke at first as expected, but wait 2 weeks at 65% or less out of the cello with the lid off the box. Your wait will be rewarded with a dark coffee roasted flavor that burns slow, flaky ash, draw will be med/firm, but the sticks are hard & well constructed. Not too strong for me but not a morning smoke! My local B&M guys were scared of the dark toothy wrapper, but also impressed at the price for a FBM 40 count!

This cigar confused me. I'm not sure what I got.

This cigar confused me. I'm not sure what I got. I thought I was getting an Oscuro, which I thought meant it would have a near black wrapper, i.e. like what was shown in the picture on the website. Instead, I got a cigar with a very light wrapper. Although I know some Oscuro wrappers are darkened naturally as opposed to the process in maduros, there was nothing Oscuro about this cigar . . . in color and taste. It was an okay cigar, but not great. I would only order them again if I was guarenteed they would, indeed, be a very dark Oscuro with all the intense and wonderful aromas and tastes that go with it.

Decent

These are decent little smokes. They lean towards medium and usually do have that good twangy Nicaraguan flavor. Though in this last batch some of them tended to taste and smell a little funky. They burn good, are constructed good and usually taste pretty darn good. They are an excellent value I hope Famous doesnt screw them up.
