"Firm construction & bold tasting !!"
These are beautifully constructed with an almost rosado/maduro wrapper. These are noticably "edgier" than FD2000's, but a nice little powerhouse of a cigar at a nice price.

"A damn good smoke/value for +- two bucks a stick."
I got one of these in a free five pack when purchasing a bundle of Nicaraguan 3000s and a box of Gran Habano Corojo #5 Gran Robusto.
The cigar is pleasing in appearance and has a good firm feel and weight in the hand. The flavor was good from the initial light and had a profile like advertised, that was sweet with mild spice.
The draw was great and produced plentiful amounts of thick white tasty smoke and the ash was fairly tight and very light to medium gray. The burn was spot on to the nub.
The flavor builds gradually in intensity and power, especially after the first half, yet remains pleasant tasting, smooth and never harsh.
The band comes off easily too, which is important to me since I nubbed it.
I'll have to add these to my rotation!

"Not bad"
Little bit of a side burn, but the construction holds up. Nice flavor and good draw. For the price a fine medium cigar.

"Nasty Mildew taste"
I was excited by the description of this blend and of course the attractive price. When I opened the bundel I smelled the "spice" aroma as listed, but once lit this spice was a horible mildew taste and after a few more thinking I just had a bad stick, they all were that bad, I would not even pass them on to my friends.

"Never again!"
Poor taste, extremely dry, smoked and tasted like straw. I could only smoke three cigars in the bundle before they hit the trash.

"maybe a bad batch but a loser"
Thay came dry as bone. When unwrapped they stunk from mildew that someone tried to cover with a spray perfume. I aired them out but to no avail. This was my first experience with these cigars and Famous. I am trying to return them. The Private Stock I ordered were fine

"VERY NICE INDEED"
Excellent cigar! Smooth, peppery delight, nicely constructed as evident by the well behaved burn that didn't need a relight or even a single touch up. I consider this cigar to be slightly on the plus side of medium bodied, with gobs of rich ,chewy, very tasty smoke.....thumbs up FSS!
