"i expected more"
i let these set for 2 months before i tried them. reviews were too good to be true. for the price and hype, the flavor was mediocre, shallow and one dimensional. the famous smokes house brands have more depth and flavor for a lot less price.

"Boat Smoker"
Real smooth. Good burn, great draw. I'll definitely buy more.

"unremarkable "third of a gopher" cigar"
Nice construction and draw, yet despite the bold, dark wrapper, the flavors only yield a vanilla scoop in a paper cone. Like a "third of a gopher", this cigar will only "rouse your hunger without beddin' her back down". (Everett McGill "O'Brother Where Art Thou")

"Great morning cigar to pair with coffee!!"
A smooth and complex smoke that makes a cup of coffee taste like a chocolate bar. Loads of coffee and cocoa in this smoke. The cigar is not all that dynamic but the pairing with coffee is marvelous. A great starter smoke with a morning cup of coffee. Mild-medium smoke that really starts your day.

"It's A Winner !"
Eye appeal right away, nice wrapper oozing with oils. Peppery notes up front that tamed down right away. Deep rich flavor of espresso and chocolate with a charred wood hint at the half way point. Draw was decent and the burn was even to the end. Not quite as strong as some but still very nice.

"A really good smoke!"
This stick burned perfectly,no touch-ups and even all the way. Draw was a bit tight but I'm picking nits. Lots of smoke with a woody,cocoa profile. A medium fuerte, but very smooth. Smoked it with a black and tan, very good. I was impressed. I highly recommend it.

"One of the best cigars ive smoked"
A few weeks ago I ordered a sample bundle from famous-smoke and included was an Olor Fuerte Robusto. I was a little skeptical about it at first, as I'm not much of a full bodied cigar smoker. As I lit it up, I expected to get that first burst of flavor, followed by some bite, but to my suprise there was none. As I sat for about an hour with this cigar, each puff was more desired than the last. I had a little urge just to chew on it a little bit, it tasted so good! afterwards, I decided to invest in some more and it was the best decision. These cigars are incredible!

"Decent Sampler Pack Cigar"
Bought the 3x3 sampler from FSS because it worked out to great prices for the RPs and Cohibas. The Olors were sort of a throw-in on the deal and did not expect much. Fuerte seems somewhat of a misnomer as they seem milder than the name implies. They delivered a decent smoke for the price I paid but have somewhat of a short finish. There are better smokes at the box price, e.g. Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte.

"Good cigar, bad draw"
This is a nice cigar but the draw can be better.

"Great Cigar!!"
This is an outstanding smoke. Just got done with a 5 pack and every one of them burned perfectly. Great flavor, not as full strength as I was expecting but close. Smoked all 5 down as far as I could. If they were just a little bit cheaper (for a house brand) I would have a new favorite and keep them on hand all the time! Outstanding!!
