"Surprisingly Good Smoke"
When I ordered the bundle of these cigars, at only $33, I did not count on them being anything special. I enjoy a medium to full flavor cigar and thought that these could sit in my humidor for awhile just in case I ever ran out of my normal smokes (A. Fuente Mad. Chateau or Hoya de Monterey Mad.'s) I'd have one that would hold me over until I could make a run to the local cigar shop. I smoked my first one the evening they arrived and was shocked at how nice it smoked right out of the box. The draw was smooth, burn was fairly even (slight run on one side that was stopped by one drop of water off of my bottle of beer) and the taste was unbelievable for a $1.65 cigar. I did notice a stem in the filler near the cap after I cut it, and was worried that it might be plugged, but it did not seem to affect the draw. I'll still smoke my favorites but I don?t think this bundle will last nearly as long as I expected. If you like a cigar with a rich flavor, you should give these a try. For the money, you can?t go wrong.

"Lucious Leathery Aroma"
Ordered a bundle of the torps in maduro after reading so much about how wonderful the originals were. Since these were made in a different factory I had no idea what I would be getting. I haven't a clue what the first run La Floridita's tasted like, but they couldn't be better than these. The cigars have a distinct leathery aroma before lighting. The smoke is pleasant, full bodied, but not harsh with a nice spiciness and a unique flavor I can't put my finger on. This cigar is a very pleasant surprise and doesn't deserve to come in a bundle, but I for one am glad it does! It has become one of my favorites and I'm definitely ordering more. Thank you Famous!

"Quality went downhill"
I've enjoyed many of these over the past few years, but the last bundle was awful. Almost everyone burned very unevenly. Probably bought my last bundle.

"Cheap 'n Cheerful"
Very good for the cheap USA dollar. Impossible to get anything like this in the UK, and Famous's Charlie is so nice to know. These are cheap, everyday smokes not to be confused with a classy smoke. Rough, ready, and eager to please though.

"A very disappointing smoke!"
I bought two bundles when they were on special after reading the reviews. What a disappointing smoke! Maybe one in six live up the the Famous Smoke write-up. Some are rolled so tight you can hardly draw, others canoe really bad, still others burn like they have a stick or stem in the middle. When they do smoke good they are an enjoyable stick, but it is a real crap shoot. I won't buy these again.

"Consistent cigar for the $"
Been receiving the Maduro Belicoso for 2 years, and when I need a consistent smoke to have when I'm working around the yard or just chilling out, there is NO better value for the $. The construction and the taste and consistency throughout is second to none for a cigar of this price. I consider this my 'comfort' cigar. I have ordered well over a dozen Belicoso bundles over the years and have rarely been disappointed. Nestor Plasencia is a genius!

"WOW !!!!"
I was looking for a good everyday cigar when I decided to try a bundle of these. I honestly did not have very high expectations when I ordered, judging by the price I had paid. Boy was I wrong, of the handfull I've smoked so far they have been consistanly great flavored, and for the most part burned evenly. I did have one that burned a bit funky but it still had the same great flavor as the rest. I've smoked cigars costing two to three time as much that tasted bad and/or burned poorly, so having to touch up the burn on one stick really isn't an issue. Overall I never expected perfection at less than $2 per stick but the La Floridita comes really close. This will, without a doubt, become the everyday cigar that I was searching for.

"Very good smoke"
A very good cigar for the price. Always had a good draw, spicy taste, and a good everyday smoke. I'll always have a bundle in my humidor.

"A nice surprise and great value"
I love my Arturo Fuente Hemingways, really enjoy my Cohiba's, but for the value, these cigars continue to amaze me each time I light one up. Simply try a bundle. At this price what the heck do you have to lose?

"Awesome value, Awesome taste and burn, Excellent"
I have tasted many cigars in order to find one that I can afford and also enjoy. This cigar is the ultimate in both categories! Great price, tastes great, burns evenly, smooth draw, great burn. Can't say enough about them!
