Soledad Cigars

Bad

Save your money. Falls apart and hard draw.

This review was written about Soledad Toro by Tim of Grass Valley on August 31, 2008

It's a great cigar

It's a great cigar. I like sitting in my converted garage, which is my smoking place. There are times that I will smoke two or three of these cigars while relaxing im my smoking den.

The other reviews of the Corona are accurate

This cigar is just what you expect if you read the other reviews of the Corona. Most of the reviews here on Famous are right on, written by normal Joes looking for a good smoke at a good price. The Corona is no exception. The cigar is a nice short smoke at a very easy price point. The flavor is pretty weak, but in no way objectionable. Buy a bundle and always keep one in your travel case. Then when you have 15-20 minutes to kill, waiting for the wife at the mall for instance, you can spark one up, relax and enjoy the moment. These are so cheap, you don't feel bad if you have to cut it short and toss it.

This review was written about Soledad Robusto by barry of westchester il. on April 22, 2008

The Rev. Likes It!

I received one of these in a free sampler (Famous Assorted Bundle #3) and found this cigar to be a good, quality smoke. The draw was easy, the burn was even, the aroma was pleasant and the flavor was gentle on the palate. Although it did come unraveled toward the end, this was a minor infraction compared to the cigars overall consistency and smokeability. I smoked it until my fingers burned! In effect, I liked this cigar a lot. It would age beautifully in the humidor.

smooth, good draw & burn with a mild spicy finish

Soledad Robusto--smooth, good draw and burn with a mild spicey finish. Will definately buy again!

This review was written about Soledad Robusto by carl of parrish fl on December 16, 2007

Good!

This is a good cigar. The construction and draw rank up there with more expensive brands. Pleasant aroma and taste. The first inch or so is at times a little sour and charry, but it smooths out to a very mild creamy smoke. Can be smoked anytime, but is especially good in the morning, making it a great cigar for taking along when fishing or camping.

GOOD 30 MINUTE SMOKE

BURNS EVENLY, STAYS LIT, GOOD DRAW. USUALLY SMOKE 52 RING, 7 1/2 TO 8 1/2 STICKS BUT THIS ONE IS A GOOD SHORT SMOKE.

soledad lonsdale review

I do not consider myself an expert on cigars, but I do know what I like. These Soledads are one of the worst tasting smokes I have had. I realise they are not top drawer cigars, but all things considered these are nasty. I have smoked about 5 or six and they are just as bitter as the first. I can detect no appreciable hint of flavor,the only thing I can say good about them is they burn evenly. Buying a drug store cheapy will give you the same smoking experience, possibly better. Your service at famous is great, I wish I could say the same for Soledad Lonsdales. Truly a waste of money. sorry guys. they are NASTY!

This review was written about Soledad Lonsdale by Eugene 'pete' Lachelli of PA on August 15, 2007

off beat taste

The burn and draw are fine but the taste was disappointing -- like a twice-lit cigar.

This review was written about Soledad Corona by Steve Tindall of delaware on July 12, 2007

Good Mild Smoke

Soledad Lonsdale is a good mild smoke and a bargain at $35.00 a box. For the best Draw, you need to poke these and leave uncut at the end. I smoked 3 Cigars so far and have enjoyed all of them. I will continue the solitude and add these to my Hummi! I also love getting my cigars in 3 days instead of weeks with some other smoke shops. Keep up the good work! Ted

Great Smoke for the Price!

I was pleasantly surprised by this stick! I just went through a bundle and all of the smokes had a great, smooth and creamy draw. Plenty of smoke hovered in my patio when smoking them with a cup of coffee in the morning. This will become my "go to" cigar.

This review was written about Soledad Lonsdale by Manny of Tucson, AZ on June 26, 2007

need a cast for my neck

firstly 3 out of 4 drew so hard that I had to throw them out after trying to unplug them. The fourth one finally gave me a flavor that I could identify. If they start to burn properly, they may not be too bad.

This review was written about Soledad Lonsdale by R Seaman of NY on June 13, 2007

Better than a soft shoulder to lean on?

I gave up smoking 7 years ago. A herniated disc sent me out on the deck to lay back and heal. A cigar smoking friend suggested puffing on a smooth cigar to help relieve the monotony & calm my troubled soul. I stumbled on this cigar perusing F.S. web page. - The Londale is now as much a part of my day as my morning coffee; smooth tasting, great burn, nice aroma. This cigar has caused me to revert back to my tobacco loving self. Might even be better than a soft shoulder to lean on. For a short smoke I also enjoy the corona. Please keep stocking them...

Smooth smoke

I'm new to cigars so don't know all the terminology yet. So I will just say the Soledad's were fresh, smoked smooth, and were not harsh. I'm enjoying them in the evening while sipping a glass of Oban single malt. A great pairing.

This review was written about Soledad Lonsdale by Gary Stallons of Texas on April 25, 2007

Great Everyday Cigar!!!!!

I don't understand why anyone would pan this cigar. I think it rates up there with cigars that cost 3 and 4 times as much. This is my "go to" smoke. I love it. Only wish the wrapper was easier to take off.

This review was written about Soledad Toro by Fessiewig of New Hampshire on March 30, 2007

Welcome solitude

These aren't an extraordinary brand, but certainly dependable. One of the ones I can count on. If you like a mild smoke that's not overwelming, give these a try.

This review was written about Soledad Corona by Ed Davis of Marion County, Arkansas on March 1, 2007

As Johnnie Mathis sang; "Wonderful, Wonderful".

Love this cigar! For the price, I don't think I've smoked a better cigar. I don't understand the people who say it doesn't have any flavor. Sure it's mild, but it's also a great, flavorful smoke. Burn one soon.

good find in a sampler

this was included in a 15 brand sampler,some of which were intended for "hand-outs" .after resting with some preemies for a month i pulled it from the remaining samplers,i was pleased enough to order a bundle,and at a great price.i enjoy them often,and share them with no shame.i love a value and these are a bargain! so smooth,nice ash,easy draw.BTW, iwrote this whilst ordering another bundle.........

This review was written about Soledad Lonsdale by rick of jersey shore on October 27, 2006

Great smoke, Great price.

I find this to be an excellent choice for relaxing after a hard day at work. I often share my cigars with friends, and most comment about these over brands that cost me four times the price. I try to keep a stash around at all times.

MY EVERY DAY CIGAR

I have tried several of the so-called every day cigars and have been very disappointed; but once I tried Soledad, I keep coming back for more. Great mild taste, with an easy even draw, I know that Soledad will be my everyday cigar for a long, long time!

This review was written about Soledad Lonsdale by Bob of Indian River, Fla. on September 27, 2006

Great every day cigar!

Excellent, burn, construction, consistency and draw. Good flavor at a good price. Comparable to a Helix, although I think this cheaper cigar has better flavor and burn. My new favorite every-dayer.

This review was written about Soledad Corona by Nick of Illinois on August 30, 2006

Nice 2nd Choice

I'd smoke these again. My biggest problem is they are not quite good enough to be a 1st choice for me, so I'd be inclined to buy them in 5 packs, but they don't offer 5 packs.

This review was written about Soledad Robusto by John Buckley of New Hampshire on July 20, 2006

She Smokes Dunhills

Perhaps this one is like a cig; but, that cig would be a Dunhill. Perhaps a bit mild; but, not too bad. These Soledad Toros have a nice wrapper, reminicent of one of those sexy girls you see on magazine covers. She has perfect skin. This one has a good volume of smoke as well. It gets stronger when you get to the end.

This review was written about Soledad Toro by Nightjoe of Idaho on July 18, 2006

BEST everyday cigar

I smoke about 6 cigars a day. After trying many "name brands" I have now smoked over 300 of these Soledads. The draw is generally excellent ( I have tossed about 8 cigars for bad draw ) They are easy to light and stay lit. Flaverful and mild, Just what I need in an everyday cigar.I smoke the Lonsdale size.

This review was written about Soledad Lonsdale by Richard of Hemet, Calif on December 26, 2005

Heard of smokeless cigs? Here's a tasteless cigar

Live and learn. Now I know why there was free shipping and a lighter to boot. These might not have been toros, I foreget. Would like to forget the whole experience

This review was written about Soledad Toro by George H of CT on November 1, 2005

Not My Recommendation

For a deal of an auction price without a fight, along with comments, I decided to gamble and try SOLEDAD. In regards to the overall three categories, Appearance, Construction and Taste, 2 out of 3 is not bad UNLESS, the odd man out is the most valuable one. The appearance is good and consistent, with a "fair" looking band, nothing that impressive in design. Overall appearance I would put at "8.0" Construction - Excellent construction in regards to consistencies, BUT, too much air coming through with each draw. Each cigar reflected the one before but the problem with too much air was consistent as well. No variance whatsoever. The burn was perfect and the ash was solid and remained until I decided to bump 'em off. A+ for consistency but minus on the draw - "7.5". The taste - where is it? If I smoked one with a beer, I could swear that I was smoking a cigarette without a filter. "4.0" on the taste. Overall score = "6.5".

WELL CONSTRUCTED, GOOD FLAVOR,MILD

TRIED A BUNDLE OF TOROS, THEY WERE GREAT.NOW I HAVE A BUNDLE OF CHURCHILLS AND THEY ARE JUST AS GOOD. IF THAT FELLOW IN OREGON WANTS TO TOSS HIS CHURCHILLS MY WAY I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO GET THEM.VERY SMOOTH AND FLAVORFUL CIGAR.

This review was written about Soledad Churchill by NORM BROWN of NAPERVILLE ILLINOIS on May 4, 2005

very bland smoke; am giving away supply!

Didn't pay much for the bundle and still very dissatisfied; practically tasteless; am trying to give away remainder; if not successful will toss!!!

This review was written about Soledad Churchill by Eric Weber of Oregon on April 4, 2005

Fabulous cigar at any price

This is one great cigar at any price. Smooth draw, clean even burn, good flavor. Very mild and yet tasty. If my next bundle is as good as this first one is, this will be my everyday cigar.

This review was written about Soledad Lonsdale by Harold G. Walter of Memphis, TN on February 15, 2005

Excellent cigar for the money!!

Ordered 10 Coronas without much expectations, boy, was I pleasantly surprised, to say the least. I smoked this corona while playing golf, then a much more expensive Perdomo an hour later. The Soledad was a better smoke, with a pleasantly medium flavour, will definitely order a box of these.

This review was written about Soledad Corona by Anthony Webb of Ooltewah, TN, USA on January 24, 2005

Smooth, tasty and I'll be back for more!!!

These are an excellent smoke! They taste great, draw perfectly, are consistent and cost about $2.00 a stick. I shared them with my friends, who are cigar nuts, and they liked them as much as I did. Grab a bundle and enjoy.

This review was written about Soledad Toro by Shawn Carmody of Phillipsburg, NJ on August 30, 2004

WOW!

Outstanding cigar! reguardless of the cheap price, this cigar would be a steal if it's price were tripled (I hope they don't get any ideas). If you've never had one buy a box, they're not too short and not too long...anyway you look at it!
