"Love it!"
This is my favorite cigar. Nice and mild but very flavorful also very affordable. One thing I have learned is that price does NOT dictate quality. This is my everyday smoke.

"WOOD AND STEEL"
"Cigar Insider" gave the Gran Robusto #1 a rating of 83 in May 2004 and "Cigar Aficianado" rated it 89 just a year later, indicating unpredicable quality in this line. The "Cigar Insider" taster noted "grassy and vegetal notes," while the "CA" taster claimed "...rich wood flavors and some earth, with some complementary spices on the palate..." Both thought it a medium- to full-bodied smoke. At 6 inches and 54 rings, it is a classic robusto. The one I am finishing now I recieved from Famous last week and has spent the intervening time laying up in my humidor at 70 percent RH at 70F. It is woody with earth tones, but not overpoweringly so. There is just a hint of harshness as the burn prgresses, but you would have to have a sensitive palate to taste it. I think another week in the humidor would cure that. The aftertaste is creamy and satisfying. The burn is clean with a white ash and no tunneling. At roughly $3.80/stick, I'd rate this a best buy and highly recommend it. But who knows what next season's will taste like?

"great cigar"
Consistently draws well, tastes good and burns nicely. All at a great value. Can't beat it with a stick.

"Pretty good, but i like some others better"
This was a true smoke lovers cigar. Thick smoke came from this cigar, and it had the easiest draw of any cigar I have had. The flavor was good, but got a bit bitey at the end. I like the Cao gold Double Corona better for a mild cigar

"Wouldn't be without a few in my humidor."
I don't think you can find a better cigar for the money. My humidor is rarely without some of these wonderful cigars. I always get comments from friends when I give them one about how great the smoke and aroma on this cigar are.

"A MUST TRY!"
This cigar is smooth, great tasting, I'm on my second box, an another is on its way. Great cigar to look at, tha bands on the cigar give the look of a super premium "expensive" cigar. My friends also have enjoyed this cigar. A must try for the Cigar Aficionado. The price is great for the quality.
