"well made, full of flavor little smoke"
..bought these as a BOGO based on some of the reviews @ HP. They were terrific OTT! They really improved w/ age. I will buy again when another deal is offered such as a BOGO.

"These things are FAMOUS!"
I cannot believe I'm the first to review these cigars...I mean, after all...they're FAMOUS. No, I mean it. If you post these up on one of my main cigar websites (HP) you get a total flood of positive responses. My direct experience is the same - let these sit a bit (3 mo. is plenty) and they are rich and smooth and totally excellent.

"Let it age for year, it gets better with time"
I tried a couple soon after the package arrived. They were harsh and really strong with a lot of spice and strong notes. I left them to rest for a full year in the humidor and I just tried them again. The taste improved dramatically. The aroma mellowed out and became more luxurious and consistent. It developed more pronounced cocoa and nutty flavors with hints of spice. I am happy and will definitely include these beefy impressive cigars in my regular rotation. My advice: Let them age at least 1 year before smoking these beauties.

"Wow...these ain't no joke."
Nice cigar. Muy fuerte but not harsh at all. Quite a nicotine kick. Nice depth of flavor that I only see in Cubans and full-flavored Nicaraguan cigars like these. And at under $3 a stick, a nice Tatuaje alternative for us cheapskates!

"Good Flavor, Terrible burn"
This stick has a wonderful flavor; smooth and robust with a bit of a coffee taste. The aroma is rich. The cigar lit well and burned evenly until about an inch or so from the foot when it began to canoe badly. I watched to see if it would correct itself but sadly it did not. This will be a wonderful smoke if the rest burn properly.

"Good value"
I discovered this smoke in my search for the perfect, decent, affordable, everyday smoke. I was a little hesitant on buying "store brand" smokes. However I found myself pleasantly surprised. Ok this cigar starts off a little bland and harsh, but after the first six to eight good puffs this cigar cleans up nice. This smoke has a nice spicey,clove like, oak barrel taste and comes through with some creamy hints. Entering the second 3rd i was thoroughly enjoying this cigar. Very satisfying, even burn, smooth draw, nice full bodied flavors and a good aroma. The consistency of this cigar was quite outstanding. Entering the final 3rd of this cigar the flavors remained in-tact and this cigar never got hot or bitter. I smoke my cigars 'til they are about 3/4 inch, and this smoke stayed true. Not sure what some of these other guys are talkin' about,don't get me wrong there are far better cigars out there but, for the value FSS private selection robustos hold true. I do however agree $65 for a "house smoke" is a bit high. "Hey FSS drop these babies to the $45 range and I "may" buy another box!

"I like them"
I don't like most Corojo cigars but I keep trying. When I first cut this cigar and tasted it I thought to myself it wasn't going to be a good one, I was wrong. It's actually pretty good and I will buy again.

"Wonderful cigar at a great price"
This is a wonderful cigar. I usually smoke Nicaraguan's and this is one of the best for the price. I have purchased them twice now through the auction site and got a great price.
