Review notes: For a young cigar they are very easy to smoke. The wrapper is flawless, cigars are firm with an great draw. The Famosos start very mild and quickly build to a medium-full body. Lots of nuts and strong coffee flavors. Goes good with an IPA or a stout. I will be buy more of these soon. |

Review notes: The box I received is very young, but they are great smokes already! Not a very complex smoke, but I believe this was the design. This cigar gives you pure quality cuban tobacco flavor; "cuban twang" if you will. Extraordinarily smooth with hints of cedar, earth, and a ton of straight tobacco flavor; I love it! I can only imagine how these will transform with some sleep time. Ranks second to the RASS as my fav in this size range. Although the Famoso, being a Hermoso No. 4 is ever so slightly smaller than the robustos of other brands, I group them in the same class. |

Review notes: Received a box of Vegas Robaina, one of the finest cigars, along with the Partagas no.4. (seems to be out of stock for a pretty long time..) ;-)
Has lots of flavours but needs to age in the humidor for a while before smoking, otherwise it's too sharp flavoured.
Each centimeter of this cigar seems to taste different untill you burn your lips! |

Review notes: Like its been said before what a beautiful stick with an incomparable wrapper. Always a clean straight burn with tons of creamy smoke. And a classic cuban twang that's fantastic!
Not a complex smoke, but a great experience regardless. You can clearly tell these are made by a true legend! Don't let the lack of complexity steer you away, there's a lifetime of experience behind these beautiful cigars! |

Review notes: Going through the cigar list and ordered these little smokes. Got my Famosos in the mail and loaded 3 up in my carry case, headed for the cigar shop for a smoke. Handed one to a Doctor friend of mine, he lit up and everyone. I mean everyone, wanted to know what he had, so I lit one for myself. Starts really mild, then changes to medium bodied smoke with some hint of sweetness and very toasty nut flavors. I am just sorry I didnt buy more than a box of 5. For all of you cigar lovers, I myself am a medium to full bodied smoker. But you must have a box of these around for an afternoon or after dinner smoke!! Youll love them, the price, construction and taste is really good! |

Review notes: This beautiful cigar was light in the hand with a little give when squeezed. The draw was perfect. Lots of creamy smoke with hints of spice dried fruit. The burn was perfect the entire smoke. The light gray to white ash held strong.
The spice didn't last long into the smoke. After that it was a woody tobacco and tangy fruit flavor, with hints of sweetnes, gaining sweetness toward the end. Very pleasant, very tasty!
Overall, the smoke was not very complex, but it was good. |

Review notes: When you look at this cigar you don't know if you should eat it or smoke it being the wrapper looks just that good. I find these a tad mild but there are some sweet flavors and earthy tones. It goes great with a nice cuban coffee. |

Review notes: This cigar is absolutley beautiful. It has a gorgeous wrapper, and is perfectly constructed, which produces a fantastic smoking experience everytime. The draw is even and lush, and the burn is razor sharp. It starts off with a toasted nut flavor, then mellows and and becomes a creamier nutty flavor which has a floral characteristic. It then develops fresh,rich cappucino flavors that stay on the palate for a long time. It is a rich, yet easy going medium bodied cigar. |

Review notes: definitlely a touch of class here,very good wrapper,not oily though.beautifull draw on the five i have smoked so far,outer ash almost pure white & holds for good 3.5 cm.medium strength and a sweetness that reminds me of R&J short churchill,but with its own distinctive flavour.a definite buy again. |
