Olor Cigarsa lung exerciser Got them as a bonus from Famous. Don't know how they taste or burn- drawing on them was like sucking through a straw filled with expoy- gave up on them and heaved them after trying three
This review was written about Olor Oloritos (6) by Peter of Rockville on August 30, 2008whats that ???omg... ok, the Olor Paco leaves alot to be desired. The appearance is good with a nice dark wrapper that is well constructed. The draw is fairly hard. the ash was nice and firm(has yet to drop at 1") the flavor is nasty kind of hard to describe... got any old gym shoes and old tire rubber?? the Aroma is a pungent dank and horrible.... Ugh is this a cigar or an experiment in how to make oneself sick... less than half way through the stick and i'm done.. i can't take it no more....i'm burying this out back with those old gym shoes i had.
This review was written about Olor Paco 5 Pack by D. Tennant of winter haven on August 13, 2008Love emWell balanaced ,medium bodied,well constructed with a tight ash and a good draw.I wouldn't call them mini cohiba black,but they sure remind me of them.
This review was written about Olor Paco by Brent Hoffman of Jersey Shore on July 15, 2008Tight draw but not bad.This is the second one of these that I have smoked and the second one with a really tight roll. It was hard to draw off of but the cigar had good taste. I must just be getting unlucky.
This review was written about Olor Lonsdale 5 Pack by Yoop of Oklahoma on July 7, 2008This cigar RUINED MY LIFE!Sticky, spongy, just plain unnatural to the touch. Why did I punch it... WHY DID I LIGHT IT?!? I shall rue that day.
This review was written about Olor Rothschild by Adam of Florida on April 28, 2008I love'em when they are on saleEvery now and again you folks have a two-4-one special on these super smokes and I order them immediately. Far as I am concerned, there is nuttin' better than an AMS(American Market Selection) jacketed cigar done veeery right. These are done REALLY~RIGHT! I remember when Arturo F. made them for you, at the risk of sounding like a heretic; I enjoy these even more. Compared to AF's 858 claro there is no contest. I mostly smoke candela, and a top notch premium at a fair price ain't easy to find. Damn: fella's this lad truly loves this creation(when it's on sale)!
This review was written about Olor Paco by Steve of Hollywood, FL on March 12, 2008Great taste from a great smokeI picked this up with one of the Famous 9 samplers and I am glad it was in there. I had good draw and burn throughout. The taste was wonderful with a mild but tantalizing hint of spice. Truly enjoyable. This will be added to my favorites.
This review was written about Olor Rothschild by Jim of California on February 22, 2008nice tasteI thought the olor was a nice smoke, good taste and draw.
This review was written about Olor Rothschild by steve of delaware on December 3, 2007A good brand gone badStuck it with my "bullet" type cutter and the cap fell off. Tried to light it but it was totally plugged. Ran a poker through it several times, and got it lit. Horrible construction, lousy burn, and almost no taste. I LOVE a couple of other Olor cigars, but this ain't one of them. Junk.
This review was written about Olor Lonsdale 5 Pack by DonC of Sebring, Florida on November 6, 2007tastelessThe only pleasure I had from this cigar was watching it burn. I wish I could have done that without having to smoke it. I.e. Burnt nice, evenly and firm ash but it was very tasteless and when you were able to sense some taste is was not very pleasant. Glad I only had one in a sampler pack.
This review was written about Olor Rothschild 5 Pack by paul vloon of AL on June 9, 2007Taste is a matter of perceptionWhat I have found out over the years is that one cannot go entirely by the ratings. I have smoked the Lonsdale and Colosos, and found them both excellent smokes. I do find the Colosos is a bit milder, but both have a consistent burn and the taste is very mild and consistent all the way down. They go very well with Port. It was my opinion that they were a little "spendy" for the price of one box but at two for one it is a great deal. To me they taste better than most of the Macanudo brand but taste is a matter of perception and one will have to draw their own conclusions. Anonymous, from Deary, Idaho.
This review was written about Olor Lonsdale by T.B. of ID on April 29, 2007nice smoke/great valueI'm fairly new to cigar smoking, but have tried a good number of different cigars from a buck a stick to $7 (even $12 for an Ashton at one shop.) I got an Olor Robusto in a free sampler and liked it enough to order a box of Momentos natural. I love 'em and am stocking way up on them for "everyday smokes." I had a friend who is a longtime cigar afficianado try one with me, and he agreed how good they were. Now, at the single box price ($3) they might be a little high, but with the two for one, wow! I'm putting in another order and I'll have almost a hundred of them stashed! Yeh, they're a little tight, but you get a nice mouthful of smoke without too much effort.
This review was written about Olor Momento by Howard of Midpines, Ca. on April 23, 2007Best House Brand in the Bidness, though a bit high Great maduro,but the price seems a bit expensive for a House Brand.But not at 2 for 1. Thanks,at 2 for 1 it is the BEST deal in the business. The flavor and draw were exemplary.
This review was written about Olor Rothschild by Anonymous of Texas on April 9, 2007Tight, but good!I bought a 5 pack on auction for a steal of a price and left them in the humidor for 2 months (forgot about them, really!). Enjoyed one today and was pleased. I concur with others that the draw is a little firm, but not so much as to be a spoiler. The wrapper is a thing of beauty, black as night. Really nice aroma and a mild but flavorful taste. Not a complex cigar, but really enjoyable for me. If you like knock the back of your head off cigars, this in not the stick for you. If you like mild cigars, give this a try. I think my next purchase of Olor will be a larger ring guage.
This review was written about Olor Rothschild 5 Pack by Andy Forrest of SC on April 8, 2007UGGHHHHThis was brutal. It was like trying to suck heavy-duty dish soap through a straw. The cigar sure looks nice, and it developed a nice white ash after the 15 minutes it took to get through the first 1/2 inch, but those are the only good things to be said for it from my palate's perspective.
This review was written about Olor Rothschild by Mike of Minneapolis on April 5, 2007more olor for meI know everyone has a different opinion but I really enjoyed my olor. And I look forward to more olor!
This review was written about Olor Rothschild by corey of california on March 15, 2007Not a General GemGot a box this past Christmas as a gift. Tried 2-3 and was completly disappointed. I usually smoke alot of General Cigar brands and find most to be top shelf. Not this dog rocket.Even after three months in the humidor. Still the same.
Do yourself a huge favor and buy Famous's house brand and get a great cigar and save some bucks too!!
This review was written about Olor Paco by Billy Hagler of GA on March 15, 2007Olor no moreI thought if I tried enough varied Olor styles, at least one would work for me. Didn't happen. The lonsdales were the worst yet. Hard as steel. Almost sucked my cheeks through my teeth to get a draw, then wished I had never lit it. May donate them to the school as javelins or baseball bats.
This review was written about Olor Lonsdale 5 Pack by Ed Davis of Arkansas on March 1, 2007A DisappointmentTried this one as part of a sampler I got. I have heard mixed reviews from people, but I was not impresses at all. Seems like it was rolled real tight, and the draw was not the easiest. After the initial light, flavor seemed very harsh. I love RP Vintage, and this seemed stronger than that. The taste did mellow out a little, but have had much better cigars. For something manufactured in the Macanudo factory, this is nowhere near their taste or flavor. I would have reservations about recommending this cigar.
This review was written about Olor Rothschild by Steven of Nebraska on February 24, 2007Truly HorribleIf you've ever smelled your hands after using the soap in a gas station bathroom, that's what this cigar tastes like. Maybe I just got a bad batch, but these things were truly horrible, and leave slime on your tongue. YUK!
This review was written about Olor Paco 5 Pack by Don of Sebring, Florida on February 8, 2007Expensive, but very goodI liked the former Olor which was made at another factory. They were very interesting cigars. I stopped ordering them when they more than doubled in price during the cigar fad years. I was curious about the new incarnation (even though the price remains steep) so I tried a box during a promotion, They remain interesting and tasty. However, their construction is improved!
Strong cigars are popular now, in my opinion, because they have many complex flavors. Mild cigars seem bland and boring in comparison. For some reason, Olor's blend has always been flavorful and interesting without being strong. I mostly smoke strong cigars now, so this was a refreshing change. (All my strong cigars are beginning to taste the same.) The Olor Pacos are mild, but they are complex and flavorful.
The first, obvious difference between the new and old Olors is the box. I liked the old cedar chests better than the new ones. But I really don't care that much about this. Also, the bands are more attractive now. But I don't care about that either. The significant difference is in the construction. The old Olors were wrapped less tightly than the new ones. They often burned unevenly. When looking at the ash and burn, one could see that the loose cigar had areas of greater and lesser density that burned at different rates. (This sounds terrible, but it wasn't. It was a delicious cigar at a good price that burned a little unevenly.) The new Olors are much more firm to the touch. Unfortunately, my first was plugged (a deal-breaker for any cigar). Good thing I bought a whole box to try, because every other stick in the box was perfect! And I do mean PERFECT. They had a nice draw; burned straight as an arrow; tasted delicious: and even had a beautiful, firm, white ash.
The Olor Paco is a superply constructed cigar which is mild, but still has pleasing complex flavor. It's a great change of pace if all your strong cigars are beginning to taste alike. At $40/box (what I paid in the mid 90's) this might just be the best cigar value on Earth. At $90/box, I'll probably get one each year. I'll look forward to it!
This review was written about Olor Paco by Richard Gosnay of CT on February 4, 2007Expected betterOrdered a sampler pack with one of these in it. This cigar was a hard draw and had an uneven burn, would not order these based on this sample
This review was written about Olor Rothschild by Clemente Raya of KS on October 26, 2006satisfactoryI would definitely put this cigar in the mild category and not medium. Draw and burn were good.
It's a decent cigar for new smokers. I wouldn't buy Momento myself but would certainly accept and enjoy one if offered.
This review was written about Olor Momento by Gary of Kentucky on October 15, 2006very nice mellow smokevery light woodsy flavor,nice draw,mellow.
This review was written about Olor Rothschild by Captain Tony of on September 14, 2006Well made cigar...good flavor...excellent burn.My first Olor was out of a box that I purchased just to get their colorful humidor and the fact I wanted to try a medium strength cigar. I was not dissapointed...good flavor...not harsh but stronger than a mild cigar with an excellent burn.
This review was written about Olor Rothschild by DigitalDave of Easton, Pa. on September 13, 2006A FINE LIGHT STICK FOR THE A.M.The Olor Robusto natural offers mild body and develops flavors of oak, coffee, nuts; great draw and burn. Always welcome in my morning rotation.
This review was written about Olor Rothschild by Brewster of Los Angeles on August 27, 2006Lots of flavor for the priceGood draw, uneven burn at times, but that's why I always keep a ligther near by. I've had $10.00 cigars that don't burn even. Taste and draw are what counts. Very good taste. Great cigar for the price.
This review was written about Olor Paco 5 Pack by Big Daddy of Houston on July 16, 2006A VERY GOOD CIGAROLOR IS A VERY MILD AND AROMATIC CIGAR THAT IS REALLY ENJOYABLE. I PLAN TO PURCHASE MANY MORE.
This review was written about Olor 5-Cigar Sampler by Guy Falgout of LA on June 29, 2006Horrible, tight, difficult smokeTried one of these in a sampler pack. Fought the cigar the ENTIRE smoke. It was very hard and tight, with a difficult draw, much like a too-thick milkshake. Must have relit it 30 times before giving up. Very frustrating, unenjoyable smoking experience.
This review was written about Olor Colosos by Gengar of Jacksonville, NC on June 15, 2006No ThanksVery tasteless. Acrid from one end to the other. Nice construction, even burn and firm ash, if you care. I may have imagined a slight bit of enjoyment in the middle. Didn't even smell attractive. I won't ever buy again. Don't even accept as a gift. Two months in the humidor didn't seem to redeem this loser.
This review was written about Olor Rothschild 5 Pack by Steve C of Mill Creek, WA on March 24, 2006grabs taste buds without rocking your perchReceived an unusual hail/snow storm midst lighting and thunder in my Redwoooded canyon. On deck this a.m, my appreciation of parting skys, rising steam and swaying redwoods was enhanced by my first Olor Rothchild. I see what they mean by a "morning" cigar. Wonderful bouquets and flavors that added to coffee and scene without stealing the experience. Woe to those non-cigar smokers who will never know whereof I speak.
This review was written about Olor Rothschild by paul cummins of ca on March 11, 2006Horrible taste.Horrible taste just awful. Not worth it at any price.
This review was written about Olor Rothschild 5 Pack by Chris of NYC on February 10, 2006Truly one of the best smokes everThe Olor brand is an exquisit taste and is truly one of the best smokes I have ever had. The cigar is a medium strength smoke that is full of wonderful flavor. The only fault it that you have to let the cigars dry a little before you can smoke them because they are wrapped so thightly.
This review was written about Olor Momento by joe smith of Houston, TX on December 22, 2005Decent smoke but OVERPRICEDI won these on an auction for 2.60 a stick, and that's about what they're worth. The price to buy a 5-pack is 23.95, which makes it way overpriced.
The taste is very good, sweet toasty flavor with hints of fruit. It is definitely a mild cigar NOT Medium. Burn is a bit uneven, draw is tight. For the price the constuction should be better. These will be the only 5 I smoke.
This review was written about Olor Paco 5 Pack by Bruce of Wickliffe, Ohio on November 9, 2005Mild,smooth and different Have smoked two 5 packs already.The Olor Paco has a beautiful,silky,pale green wrapper that smells(before being lit)almost like green tea.It's mild and smooth and the claro,maybe candela,wrapper imparts a slight natural sweetness and a very subtle grassy or green tea like taste that is very pleasing.This is a light to medium bodied cigar,leaning on the light side.It has a clean,medium-long finish that is just a bit dry,but very pleasing.The Paco is a real change of pace from the taste of most other claro wrapped cigars.A pleasing aroma and very good draw.Very well constructed.The cost of a box is too prohibitively high for me to afford or else I would order a couple of boxes.Wish they would sharpen their pencil there at Famous and bring down the price.A very nice cigar indeed.Go Angels!
This review was written about Olor Paco 5 Pack by Jim M of Hermosa Beach,CA. on October 11, 2005pleasedI am very impressed with these smokes and love the way they burn and draw very smooth morning or restraunt smoke. they are a bit light for me but ill buy more for a change of taste. thanks
This review was written about Olor Paco by owen of canton mo on July 19, 2005very good smokeI got the sampler of the various sizes in the maduro on auction and I gotta say the lonsdale was an awesome smoke. Tasted great, flavorful and not at all harsh, burned nicely with a perfect draw. I was quite suprised but how good this cigar was cuz I was not impressed at all by the Olor Fuerte. A bit pricey but competes well with other cigars in its price range
This review was written about Olor Lonsdale by ed of Ohio on June 8, 2005good smoke; rich but not hot or bittermaking room in my humidor for more!!!
This review was written about Olor Paco by Eric Weber of Portland, Or on May 21, 2005H-o-r-r-i-b-l-eThis was a poorly constructed flavorless rope. I've had smokes that were overall better for alot less money. Famous Cigars would do good in disassociating with this brand.
This review was written about Olor Rothschild by Dan of Nevada on April 23, 2005My favorite.I did not expect from the appearance of really dark maduro to have such a mild and excellent taste. So far this is my favorite cigar.
This review was written about Olor Rothschild by Eugene of Los Angeles on April 10, 2005do not buythis cigar you get sucked into when buying a sampler lacks depth and flavor would buy in a bundle if the price was around 15 6.0 out of 10
This review was written about Olor Paco by john henderson of tampa florida on November 28, 2004This cigar has been added to my favorites.I smoke a lot of cigars 5 maybe more a day. Of course I am not in a position to purchase or smoke and enjoy cigars of name brand quality every time I feel a need to get my smoke one. This cigar is resonably priced and very, very enjoyable. From light-up to the last draw it is flavorful, it burns great and even smells good (so says the wife). This bird is landing right in the middle of all the name brands. This is a great cigar for the price.
This review was written about Olor Rothschild by Robert Dodge of St Paul, MN on October 14, 2004stay awaycouldnt disagree more with the rest of the reveiws one word for this cigar boring no flavor from start till finish
This review was written about Olor Paco by jeff seiman of amityville ny on July 15, 2004Smooth, creamy, and NuttyThis may be one of the finest cigars I have smoked. It was by far the smoothest and creamiest. I am going to save up for a box of these ASAP.
This review was written about Olor Rothschild by Samuel VanDyke of Toledo OH on June 16, 2004Good taste, very bad drawReceived my rothschild together with the famous shop robusto sampler. Suspected there would be problems when i felt it and found it to be quite hard. Let it lie in my humidor for a few weeks, then smoked it. It was waaaay too tightly rolled and provided a very tough draw. It was like sucking water through a long rubber hose. But what i did manage to get out of it was very tasty indeed.
This review was written about Olor Rothschild by Aizuddin Danian of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on September 30, 2003Good Taste, Bad Draw!I ordered the "new" Olor Rothschild together with the robusto sampler. At least the sampler was good. The Olors themselves taste good, when you get anything out of them. Very tight draw on almost every one. Somewhat disappointing for the money.
This review was written about Olor Rothschild by Pat McG of Pennsylvania on September 18, 2003Good SmokeNice, medium flavor smoke. The claro has better, more complex flavor.
This review was written about Olor Paco by Mike of California on September 15, 2003Quality is not what it used to be.About one in five of my last box burned down the side as though there was a stem in the cigar.
The ones that burned even were great. I should have returned them after the second one burned uneven.
This review was written about Olor Paco by Bob of Honolulu on September 9, 2003DisappointingI've had better bundle cigars. This had no taste - put it out early. The Paco Claro is a completely different Cigar - I didn't know there could be such a difference. I'll stick to Paco Claro.
This review was written about Olor Rothschild by Mike of California on August 9, 2003the new famous olor natural by general cigar.i got the new olor sampler. they are fantastic!!!!. i hope they keep the blend consistent.
This review was written about Olor Momento by paul scanlan of boston, ma on July 31, 2003What a disappointment.I'm a sucker for moderately priced maduros. All it takes is a decent price and a decent level of quality in taste and construction to get my vote. These Olor maduro Rothschilds aren't particularly moderately priced -- $70 isn't a steal -- and the construction is terrible. Is there a contest at the factory to see who can wrap the tightest cigar? If so, whoever made mine wins. Couldn't draw through most of these sticks with an industrial-strength vacuum cleaner. (When I actually find one that's smokable, the taste is OK. But the ratio in my first and last box has been about four discards for every smokable cigar.)
This review was written about Olor Rothschild by Smokey the Bear of Washington State on July 22, 2003New Olor worth TryingThough I never tried the Fuente made Olor, I can truly say that this blend is what I think cigar smokers today are looking for.Something with some body but not overpowering to the point of kickass.My Pacos say that there 6"x50 ring guage but they are more like 47 on the ring guage. That said it starts off almost sweet and earthy with hints of nutmeg and midly spicey. Though ready to smoke I bet these babies will taste even better after a month or so with out the cellos in my humidor. General cigar has a fine stable of cigars and the fact they make this one for Famous Smoke shop is worth trying. Alas! The prices are premium as well! Come on Humberto sharpen your pencil !
This review was written about Olor Paco by Bill Settemio of Malden, Ma. on June 20, 2003A smoke I keep coming back to...I keep trying other cigars and I keep running back to Olor Pacos! This may very well be the most consistent cigar I have ever smoked. Even burn, smooth draw, pleasant nutty flavor. My only criticism is I do find it a bit pricey. It's a simple matter of finances. I do think it's worth the price, but I would buy more and more often if it were a bit less expensive. It is a VERY good cigar!
This review was written about Olor Paco by Mark B. of Atlanta on May 22, 2002a nice smoke but ********a real nice smoke but a little pricey for basically a house brand. I would go back for more but at sale price's
This review was written about Olor Paco by donny c of hopedale ma. on March 30, 2002Incredible bargain. Great cigar.I would pay twice as much for this cigar. Smooth, tasty, and a good draw. Well made all around. Highly recommended. How about those Pats?
This review was written about Olor Paco by Pats Fan of New England on March 16, 2002great budget cigarjust recieved my sampler pack natural
smooth draw nice ash .this cigar didnt carry on towards end
as lesser quality sticks do.i will order more thanks famous for good deal
This review was written about Olor 5-Cigar Sampler by ed torres of central nj on September 25, 2001strong-bodiedthis is for the strong smoker...beware. it gives you a good buzz though.
This review was written about Olor Lonsdale by aaron of florida on May 28, 2001The best everytime @ any priceI have been smoking this cigar for over 3 years. You can pay more for a fasion name but you will not get a better smoke. Good rich flavor, mild and consitant.
This review was written about Olor Cacique by Rory McCallum of Sea. Wa. on March 14, 2001Trendy has left the Building!!!I've tried alot of cigars trying to find the brand that is the all around best. To me I think I found it. The flavor is absolutely great! They start out mild then hinting ever-so-slightly on medium towards the finish, with a hint of leather and nuts. The price can't be beat. All-around 10 in my book from start to finish, that's more than I can say about those trendy one's like Co--ba. Go ahead and pay more money for a trendy or even unknown brands. This brand is top notch. That's my opinion and I'm stickin' to it!
This review was written about Olor 5-Cigar Sampler by Steve Whitney of Orange County, Ca. on February 25, 2001Rich full flavored with a nutty tasteRich yet not harsh smoke with a nutty full flavor. Size is wonderful when you don't have time for a long smoke. One of the best maduros I have smoked.
This review was written about Olor Momento by Richard Gerken of Rosemont. IL 60018 on September 22, 2000Flavorful and robust without a bite.I love this cigar. Very savory without any bite. Complex flavors are added by the maduro wrapper. The naturals you sent as a sampler were killer too. They certainly live up to the 88 rating given by Cigar Aficionado. I'll order a box of those too.
This review was written about Olor Paco by Freddy of Redding, CA on August 28, 20001 GOOD stick 4 the $Built well, tastes good...taste turns a little
firm on the tail end. Good Value!
This review was written about Olor Momento by John Nash of Louisville on July 20, 2000The Cigar World's Best Kept SecretThis is a cigar has a rich, nutty and earthy flavour that reminds me of a cross between a Fuente and an Hoyo De Monterey. The flavour actually improves as you get into the middle of this cigar and it never bites. A consistent and creamy cool smoke. IMHO the best cigar on the market for the money and perhaps the cigar world's best kept secret, too.
This review was written about Olor Momento by Gary Jon of Colonia, New Jersey on June 6, 2000MILD BUT FLAVORFUL CIGAR, NOT HARSHMild flavorful cigar. Nice easy draw. No harsh offensive odor. Good all-day cigar. Very well-constructed and stands up to my expectations. Personally, I detest very strong, harsh cigars. This mild smoke is not wimpy. I recommend it to all. I almost forgot: it definitely has a slight touch of spicy flavor, mysterious, light but noticeable. I will order them again soon.
