La Floridita Bundles Brand Reviews

"I came close to throwing up"

even aging for 7 months doesnt help this cigar.

"Brutal Smoke"

I got this with a sampler and it was by far the worst cigar I have had. The burn was not even, the flavor was BAD and the draw was so tight I thought I was going to swallow the cigar.

"Very good Bundle!!"

I have been meaning to try this one for a while, got a few in a sampler and let them rest for a few weeks. Fired one up the other day and was quite impressed. Taste was excellent started out with some pepper and then around the 1/2 way point became sort of sweet with hints of chocolate which continued to build right to the end. Actually prefer this to the FDO maddie for an inexpensive everyday smoke, ....that said does not burn the best and required a couple of minor touch ups, wondering if more rest will solve that problem. Of course this is a an around the house cigar so I will not complain about touching up a less than $2 cigar because of a minor burn issue. Would recommend this one to someone who likes rich Maddie flavor and wants to save a buck or two.

"Now that's a cigar"

WOW!!! This is the reason I smoke cigars. Easy dray, thick smoke and rich taste. Definitely a staple in my humidor from here on out.

"Good flavor, bad burn."

My La Floridita was completely packed full of tobacco creating an extremely tight roll and somewhat tight draw. It also burned HORRIBLY! I've only had one other out of my "Famous 20 Under $20" sampler that burned worse and that one was the worst burn I've ever seen. This stick required multiple corrections to the burn and 2 relights. BUT the flavor was very surprising for a budget smoke. The first third had a predominant flavor of cashew with slight woody flavors and a creamy finish. In the second third the woody flavor got a little stronger and a leathery flavor and slight black pepper were added. In the final third the leather picked up a little more as the black pepper tapered off with the cashew and natural woody flavor still there in the background. The creamy finish was consistent all the way through the smoke. Surprisingly great flavor and smoothness for a cheap stick! If they could just fix the burn...

"Crap"

Poor construction. Its almost a cigarillo. Bits of tobacco fall out of the end of this when lit which makes for a rather unpleasant smoke when bits of flaming tobacco are falling on you. I used a punch and bits were coming into my mouth. The taste wasn't that great. The wrapper was at least well done. It drew like butter but thats probably because it was so poorly made. STAY AWAY

"Thanks, but no thanks..."

I really like the draw on this one... but that's the only thing I like about it. The aroma, flavor, and burn of this stick is just bad.

"Decent for the money"

1. Burn - No tunneling, just horrid canoeing. All the way to the back end of the last third! This, while annoying, doesn't bother me much. I've burned sticks that cost 50 times has much that acted the same. 2. Draw - Most would say tight, but for me, perfect. Just able to sit there and 'sip' on it for about 85 mins. 3. Ash - Good firm grayish white that had to be removed every 3/4", or when I had to retouch. 4. Cold nose - Woody and slightly musty with hints of toasted tobacco. 5. Taste - Opened with loads of tobacco and white pepper. After five mins, settled into a nice dark roast espresso, cream and tobacco with hints of pepper on the nose. Maintained this profile all the way to my burning finger tips.

"Very Nice!!"

I have now been able to smoke 4 of these and I am sold. I love the flavors that come through on this stick. Draw has been a little tight on 2 of the 4 but the flavor makes up for it. They can be a little work if you get one with a tight draw but definitely worth it. I'm going to put another order in once i get through my tenth! Thanks for the good deal Famous!

"Not what I was expecting"

This one has good aroma and a smooth taste. It is missing the punch that maduro's contain. Still, it's a good smoke.
