"up your alley for an economy smoke..."
Snagged a box off of Cigar Monster. Smoked one out of the box off the UPS van, and have been smoking them well aged. Not much of a difference with aging. They are listed as a MEDIUM strength cigar, but to be honest, they are extremely mild. I don't sense much for "flavor" because it is very subtle. Would I buy them again? No. Very hard to finish off the box, but have been handing them out to friends who have yet to smoke a cigar. They are taking a liking to them since they are very mild. In the end, probably a way better smoke with your morning coffee.

"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.

"You must be ******* nuts!!!"
Ok it's my fault, I hand outn FSS products every friday at my comapny., However, when the most the grizzled tough a** oil field hand looks at me with the cigar from the catbox look, i have to conciede these are just not for the men who give a flying shit about what they smoke.. and my guys are as unpickey as they come....so if you need to cover the smell of an autopsy these are the cigars for you, just don't breath on anybody...

"I'll keep these in my humidor"
These are a wonderful everyday smoke. I wanted a few 'cheap' cigars for the guys during poker night so I could save my good smokes. Needless to say, I now keep these in my humidor all the time. They are a great anytime smoke. The size is perfect to unwind on the ride home from work.

"Review of Buenos and Cattivo Nero"
I got a box of these little gems and I must say that I have enjoyed smoking them. Great construction, perfect draw. The flavor did have a little bit of a bite to it when I first got them, but a little time in the humidor smoothed that problem out. Very nice 20 to 25 minute cigar.
I got 5 singles of the Cattivo Neros to give them a try also. The first one was good. Nice burn, good draw, alright flavor. As for the rest, I could not get any to draw. I tried but nothing worked to get a better draw so I just gave the last 2 away. Don't think I'll try them again.

"A rare find, exceptional quality, very low price"
At first I was skeptical about a $1 cigar being of good quality and great taste.
But that is not a problem with the "Famous Buenos Naturals" in the natural or maduro.

"Great price to quality ratio!!!"
I bought a box of the naturales during the intro period for $29.95 (40 sticks!) and my, what i bargain it proved to be. Smooth, mild and lots of smoke with floral hints, consistent burn, its a really good bargain. Perfect everyday, anytime smoke!!! Although it did not last very long =( took me a mere 30minutes to finish it. Overall an outstanding cigar considering the price... but to a limit. I dont think i will take a long time for me to finish this box!
