General Honduran No. 59 cigars are extra-wide Double Coronas at 7¼'' x 54. The cigars are blended with rich Nicaraguan, Honduran & Dominican Piloto Cubano fillers, a Connecticut broadleaf binder and aromatic Connecticut wrappers for a well-rounded, medium-bodied smoke. One of the best buys around!

"Great Value - Smooth Smoke "

Good golf cigar. Smokes smooth down to the last 2". I've smoked the 1st and 2nd and can't really tell the difference except for an occasional water spot. 2nds are a great value at $1.55 ea. Bought a bundle last Thursday and have had 4 already.

I've shared this cigar with a few comrades and the compliments flowed. Good long burn (1.5 hours), great full bodied taste, very smooth. Pull up a bar stool, order a Black-N-Tan, and light one up. Then order another, you won't be leaving for a while.

The natural color bundle I got had a darker wrapper than the Connecticut Shade I was expecting. I tried one and it did not get the taste I expected. Called Famous, they said this is the way the Bundles now come to them. To their credit, they offered to give me a full refund.

Construction, draw & burn are my complaints. Taste still good. Personal value reduced.

"Better than most at a quarter the price! "

Well I am a true beliver now, I have compared the bundlearos with the boxed and have had several friends do the same...some actually liked the bundle version better! Only Cuba snobs would not appreciate this excellent cigar at fire sale prices!

"Very fine cigar for the money..draw varies "

aren't that good, for the money they are killer. Unfortuantely,
the draw can vary bundle to bundle and within bundles and that can really
put a real crimp in enjoying these basically fine cigars.
For the price a definite try for any maduro fanciers.

Wrapper seems a little dirty when taking a drag. Flavor comes and goes. Lasts a long time. I'd rather spend a little more money and get a cigar I really enjoy instead of smoking one because I got a good deal on it.

Even with a draw poker I could not get any draw on the first 3, and the fourth I got some smoke but it was like sucking on a straw. Took way to much energy to even try to smoke these. Wrapper felt dirty and it unwound very quickly. I couldn't even tell you if the cigar had any flavor. These are the worst cigars I have bought from Famous Smoke Shop in the past 6 years. Save your money, try something else.
