"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.

"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.

"We'll see"
I smoked the natural version of this cigar about a week ago and tried the maduro last night. I've always been a big fan of maduros so I ordered a bundle (right before I smoked the one from the sampler). The sampler version had a fantastic flavor but an extremely hard draw. I plan to smoke one tomorrow when I get my ups shipment but let the rest of them sit in my humi for a month. At this point I recommend the natural over the maduro. I will report back with my findings after i get through the bundle. "Smoke em if you got em!"

"Good flavor, burn was very bad however"
Good looking, well-packed, good draw. As Carl said this was a different flavor from many other maduro cigars, but I enjoyed it. After around 10 minutes, I only had about 1/16" of ash and I thought I had found the slowest-burning cigar ever. What really was going on though was it was tunnelling - BAD. Even snipping off the tunnelled area (a full inch or more with no sign of stopping) to form a fresh foot, toasting the foot etc., it still tunnelled as if the binder was made from asbestos. I can't comment on wrapper flavor because very little of the wrapper burned. I might actually have been able to pack it again like a pipe and smoke a whole new bunch of filler out of it.
Nothing wrong in my humi either, other cigars that have been in there the exact same amount of time (about three weeks) burn just fine, and it is sitting at 69/70. Wrapper feels just fine to the touch too. So give it a try if you like, but I wouldn't smoke this one while driving or doing something where you can't correct the crazy burn.

"Great Smoke..."
Excellent smoke for the price. Beautiful tasty wrapper. Great filler with a surprisingly high level of complexity. Decent draw. This stick put a smile on my face. Give it a try. Will definitely have a home in the humi.

"Better Then Expected"
Nice dark wrapper, no blotches. All appear uniform in color. No soft spots. Heavy in the hand, fully packed. Draw on a few was a little tight but overall OK. Burn is even. Occasional relight necessary. Aroma is pleasant. Flavor is nothing special. Not a typical Maduro taste but not offensive either. Very mild cigar.

"Hard draw"
Four of the first seven have been impossible to smoke because they are rolled too tight. The other three were decent cigars, the construction is so inconsistent these are not worthwhile buys.

"Not a bad stick...for the price"
For the money you really can't beat it. Enjoyed the taste. My biggest complaint was the uneven burn. So, I get to play with my torch abit. Not a big deal. I'd buy it again...
