"Yech"
I like Honduran cigars, but this is something different. I just tossed a bundle of these after a year of aging. I had hoped the tar-paper taste would mellow out some, but even mellow tar-paper is not enjoyable.
The wrapper looks like tar-paper, thick and black. Then comes the surprise: it also smells and tastes like burning petroleum products. Since the first half-inch smells like burning insect parts, I don't think most people would get beyond that.
I think these tunneled pretty bad. I cannot be sure because after the first inch I gave up.
Famous has their brand on many, many great cigars. These are not among that group.

"50% so-far"
I won the Hunduran Toro Maduro 6x50 in an auction. When I git the from the Man with Brown(UPS)I was like a kid with a new toy. I just had to light one up. It was Crap. The draw was harsh, it canoed down almost half way. Nothing I tried worked. I put them in the humidor hoping the next one might be smokable(I don't even know it that's a word. I going to let them rest and give them another chance.

"Very Mild"
Mildest Maduro I have ever smoked - very mild flavor. Almost went out a few times. Didn't taste very good after the last 25%. If you want to try a mild Maduro - go for it. I won't be smoking it again. Curious to see what a Torpedo is like - won't try a Rothschild because the gauge is small like this one.
