"Good smoke for the money"
Very mild, long tight ash, even burn, LOTS of creamy smoke, excellent draw, could use a bit more flavor but a good starter cigar.

"Great change of pace"
I usually smoke full bodied maduro cigars, mostly torpedos or belicoso shaped. Sometimes I need a break and desire something mild, like a Baccarat or a Gispert natural wrapped. These are even better. Was pleasantly surprised at how much good old fashioned cigar flavor these had in spite of their mild manners. And what a great nose! These will provide many a serene hour in the sunshine on the deck, fresh coffee in hand, when a lighter, sweeter smoke is the order of the day. Famous, you've hit a home run with these.

"so far not so good"

Famous Private Selection Dominican Lonsdale
"Nothing to write home about"
Got these on auction. Perhaps the Lonsdale is not as flavorful as the Robusto or Churchill. The few that I have smoked have been good, just not great compared to others I have smoked in this price range. Also, there is a hint of berry, or something, which is not to my taste.

"Distinctive Delightful Dynamo"
Where to begin, the mixture is top tier, the smoke burns wonderfully, the taste is smoothe and disntinctive, this is one hellova cigar. The aroma is called pleasing by Ladies whom asked me which brand i was enjoying. ironically the wrapper of the one i was enjoying had a slight break in it towards the finish but it didnt disrupt the cigar. The distinctive flavour displays toasty notes with a mixture of smoothe creaminess. I was immensely impressed with the cigar as its blend is delightful.
At various times my reviews are rather harsh towards construction, as this cigar didnt have any difficulty burning well, the taste is off the charts. This is one hellova a cigar, worth every penny and then some. Quite possibly the best house brand ive ever enjoyed, its that kinda damn good. The Domincan olor binder blends well with the Conn Educador wrapper over a terrific filler mixture that exudes creamy delicious taste from the word go as well the finish doesnt disappoint.
Im incredibly impressed with this particular cigar, Available only at Famous Smoke, Whomever came up with this blend, I wish I could buy Them a beer and say thanks in person as its an off the charts delicious smoke. I highly recommend this cigar, and Im generally keep it real when reviewing a cigar, it matters to me to detail a good review to help my fellow smoker enjoy the cigar or avoid a disappointment without being warned.
This cigar is absolutely fabulous, Its blend and is Distinctive and delicious, its a Creamy, delightful dynamo! I hope the construction on these stays consistent in the coming months, as this cigar may become a house favorite, its that kinda awesome.

"Civilized"
Densley packed and perfectly round this stick has all the characteristics of a fine handmade premium. The wrapper was flawless with a buttery sheen and the smoke was thick and sweet with a clean finish. All in all this cigar was time well spent.

"Very tastey!"
Construction was decent, with a good burn and draw. The head was a little underfilled, but this did not have a negative effect. This cigar had a lot of flavor....sweet, creamy, white pepper.....straight medium bodied with an obvious bit of ligero in there. These are a thumbe up for me! Now put em on cigar monster!
