"As good as advertised!"
Bought a bundle and was suprised on how close they were to the description as advertised. Nice every day smoke for a good price. Good burn, draw,and taste.

"Nope"
Rolled too loose, ash fell all over my lap, not very flavorful for a Maduro. Took a chance and tried 2 singles, I won't be trying any more.

"A beautifully made, powerful smoke"
If you generally shy away from bundled cigars, have no apprehension with this powerful maduro torpedo. I expected a mixed filler lawn mowing cigar, but got a powerful long filler figurado. My first bundle was closer to oscuro or doble maduro than maduro. After one day in a dry box it burned straight and true. The sticker on the bundle says HATSA which generally means General Cigar's Villazon factory. I just ordered two more bundles. If these are as good as my first bundle, I hope Famous makes these a regular in their inventory. Caution: If you're a "Macanudo mild" cigar smoker, these are not for you. If you like a cigar that smokes with the sweetness of a maduro wrapper, but has a good streak of ligero for power, jump on these. I have only purchased the torpedos, so I can't speak for the other sizes, but these are hardly "seconds." The only flaw in any of my first bundle appears to be some off color speckling of the wrapper.

"Cigar is a powerhouse; a full bodied dark maduro"
6.5 by 52 Honduran bundle in maduro, $29.95. A beautiful full bodied Honduran cigar.From HATSA, likely Villazon made. Wrapper almost oscuro,dark, virtually flawless. First one I smoked burned like long filler, razor sharp ash and perfect draw. Would guess this is a Bolivar Fuerte overrun. A steal at 29.95 a bundle. I'll stock up right now, because these cigars will be out of stock as soon as we full bodied guys discover that Famous has these. They come unbanded but the bundle says HATSA on the seal. This is the cigar that you want to age bundles deep in your coolers. They're powerful with an edge. After six months rest, they'll compare to most $5.00 full bodied cigars on the market.
