Primo De Cuba Presidente

"Take a pass"

Taste is pretty good - IF - you get a good one. Even the good ones in my bundle had burn problems. The bad ones (the majority in the bundle) had REALLY bad burn problems. Those tasted a lot like gasoline about 2/3 through. Impossible to keep lit without continuous attention from your lighter. Pass on these!!

"Happy with this smoke"

Somehow I missed the deal on the Presidente but bought the Robusto. This is a very consitently smooth cigar, and it maintained its character all the way down to the nub. It will replace the AF curly head as my nightly dog walking cigar.

"Poorly Constructed..."

Usually draws hard. Always seems to have a weak place that burns fast, no matter how you try to catch it up. 18 of 20 were bad. tasted okay, looked fine, but I'm poor, and even at these prices it wasn't worth the money.

"This Novice will more of these"

Mind you I am a buck private in the cigar smoking ranks. After smoking Backwoods for 15 months, I've turn to Famous to explore the world more premium smokes. This was only my 4th cigar smoked out of the samplers I've ordered. After a clumsy lighting ceremony, it took about 3,4 minutes for the uneven burn to straighten out. Midway through I really enjoyed the flavor and aroma of this stick. And right toward the end I could swear I tasted some Boston Creme Pie! Okay, not really, but this novice liked cigar and will buy more.

"Bad burn, keep your money"

Try to smoke this cigar and it will piss you off. hard draw, bad burn and taste. This time I got what I paid for, worthless.

"Horrible Burn!"

The bottom line is the wrapper on these sticks will not burn. Saying they tunnel is an understatement. The filler goes up like a roman candle leaving the wrapper almost untouched. The pack is very loose, you can flatten them with no effort or damage to the leathery burn proof wrapper. Worthless even at the $20 sale price I picked them up at. Maybe some extended time in the humidor will help.

"terrible"

I won these cigars on auction. I thought I had gotten a great bargain . Was I ever mistaken. The burn was horrible. I had to keep relighting. Sparks flew. I burned a hole in my trousers. I threw the remaining cigars away.

"Primo De Crapolla!"

This is a flavorless loosely packed cigar that burns as fast as a cigarrette. don't waste your money.

"Suprised"

Have seen these in the cataloge for years. I guess the phrase "they may not burn perfectly" shyed me away. Finally decided to try something different. Being retired, my cigar budget is somewhat limited to this price range. Well, I'm ordering my third bundle and so far have not had one stick that did not meet my expectations. They burn good, draw good and have a great earthy taste. My only problem is, my FDO's now have competition in my humidors (3). Now I have to decide on a sweet cap, or an earthy taste. But then life is tough sometimes. Bill

"good flavor"

the draw and appearance was appealing. The consistency and burn left something to be desired from a cigar. The flavor was up there with a higher price cigar. I would buy this one again just for the taste alone.
