Lousy Cigar

I've never been disappointed in a Famous Smoke Shop order until now.

Junk like this is why I quit Thompsons

Received a bundle, and had to discard one right off the bat, as it was a torn, mangled mess, right out of the pack, and from the center of the bundle.... put the rest away for a couple of weeks, then tried one .... Whoops! ... "Must need to wait a while" I figured, and let them lie...... now, nearly 2 months in the humidor ... I've tried three in as many days. Absolutely, hands down, the worst constructed, worst drawing toro I've ever encountered. Two were thrown away after a few minutes of, basically, sucking on a rock. Finally got about half way through one this morning, and found myself wondering why I felt this need to punish myself with such a lousy draw, and bad tasting smoke.
The remaining ones are in my humidor, and will stay there a while longer, unless I need the space for some real cigars.
It is from having to deal with messes like this I stopped ordering from Thompsons. As much as I have enjoyed dealing with Famous, and as much as I have enjoyed trying several of their 'House' or 'exclusive' brands, this experience has left a very bad taste in my mouth ... both literally and figuratively.
Save yourself some $$$ and a lot of frustration. Avoid this Sumatran Toro at all costs. Order some Baccarat Sumatrans instead. Difference of day and night, and worth whatever the difference in price, three times over.

Good going-home-from-work smoke

I bought a bundle of these through CigarMonster, not knowing anything about them. They are a mild, easy drawing, aromatic smoke that's just the right length to match my drive home from work in the afternoon. Best twenty bucks I've spent in a pretty good while.

Quite possibly the worst cigar I have ever smoked

I bought a bundle of these and could not get one to smoke. They were nothing but air. Very disappointed. Good thing they were cheap.

Excellent smoke at any price!

This is my second order of the Mosaico Sumatra. My first order was the torp, which I enjoyed so much I had to have more. My only negative comment about the torp is that some of the head were a bit gnarly - but most of that gets clipped. However, the flavor is fantastic, the burn is even, and the ash is firm. Likewise for the Piramide, but no construction issues on the head. I've shared these with many of my cigar smoking friends, and have yet to hear anything bad - all rave reviews. In fact, one of my friends didn't know it was a bundle cigar from Famous, and took the band to the local shop and asked for more! Highly recommended...just don't buy them all - I want more!

VERY REFRESHING

WOW!!! I purchased a bundle of these along with a bundle of Mosaic Ecuadorian Robusto.These are like day and night. I was dissappointed with the bitterness of the Ecuadorian's but these are very much a good cigar.It has a great consistency in both the burn,draw,and flavor.An excellent smoke for the price.Very sattisfied.
