"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 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.

"Horrible"
Ordered and smoked my way through a five pack. Burn on every one was terrible, canoe city. Taste showed promise during first few puffs, but quickly went south. Typical of Tropical Tobacco made cigars in my experience. No more Tropical for me. Can't understand Famous putting their name on these rockets.

"Whoa!"
I am 51 years old and I don't think I have enough years left to mellow these with proper Humi time. These cigars are just plain harsh. They are very well constructed and a handsome cigar but...I've been in building fires without the benefit of a respirator and found it to be a more enjoyable smoke. If these sticks need to be aged perhaps Famous should age them before releasing them to the public. I would not even consider purchasing another round, I'll just move on.

"Sparkplug Sassy Cat"
This sparkplug of a smoke offers a sassy enchanted flavour.It has a pleasant gratifying aroma and creamy nutmeg taste. problem is construction is poor to lousy with virtually every cigar developping some sort of canoe issue or hot sports. The smoke would be a terrific buy if its construction werent so lousy.
The draw is sufficently miserable along with a canoe that will develop in the first 5 minutes of the smoke, relighting will help early in the smoke, the hot spots will get larger quickly and burn seriously hot, they are close to impossible to work around yet cutting will not help as they emerge near the band as its really a bummer because the taste of the cigars is top notch with hints of nutmeg and cream. Even cigars that taste like winners, are losers sometimes. Sassy cat.

"Terrible"
The taste was very harsh; almost like annoying cheap cigar. I gave a few out to some of my buddies thinking it may just be me. They agreed it was terrible. Save your money! Put your money into a cigar you know is good. For a house brand the price is too high for the lack of quality in Tast. Famous YOU GUYS CAN DO WAY BETTER!Terrible Terrible Terrible.

"Ok, What's going on guy's?"
Like Ive said in the past, I dont believe all cigar smokers are created equal. If you read the three previous reviews of this smoke, you would think its a lousy smoke. I received 2 of these in a sampler and guess what, Im ordering a box today. This smoke is with out a dout, one of the best deals going on the web site, make no mistake. This stick is in my opinion a first class effort to bring you a top quality cigar, at an incredibly low price. Im certain this is why Famous put there name on it. Is the taste for everybody, probably not, the taste of cigars in general pretty subjective to the individual. I personally like the taste of these, and am actually ordering 2 boxes, robustos, and torpedos today.

"Not The Best"
These cigars start off tasting great but finish harsh and terrible. Some burnt good but most didn't burn evenly. About half were plugged and almost unsmokeable. They aren't worth the price. Maybe I just got a bad box but I probably won't buy again.
