A gift to the senses  I am a new cigar smoker, and have been sampling different kinds. I got the 9 pack sampler and quickly fell in love with this cigar. I normally smoke the padron 3000's, but this is hands down my favorite. Everyone I have smoked is perfect, not too firm, and not to soft, and just the right amount of spring to it. Every cigar has lit perfectly, and has had an easy smooth silky draw of smoke. I was most impressed with how rich and creamy it is, and the light aroma is warm and pleasant. For the new smoker like me, I highly recommend this cigar. This review was written by Peter of Grand Rapids Michigan on February 28, 2007 Taste was ok............when I could keep it lit. OK so the taste was good but boy this cigar was tough to light, burned terribly uneven, and went out several times. did I get a bad one? This review was written by Corey of Perkasie on February 2, 2007 Very nice smoke I got 5 of these with a order,When I first opened the bag they came in and smelt them I was very impressed with the aroma.Left them in my humi for a month and tried 1,very nice I thought. So I had another 1 a week later and am so impressed with them they are all but gone.I will be buying more of these in the new year,Very nice smoke and worth the money This review was written by Dave of Sydney AU on December 31, 2006 YAWN I finally broke out my Robusto Dark Nat after a couple months in the humidor: very, very, very mild but pleasant smoke. So mild in fact, that it would be similar to sticking one's head in a cloud of steam and trying to evaluate the various characteristics--what characteristics? The construction was fine, the draw was easy, the burn was even, "the taste" was never hot or acrid. There's a lot of mechanics going for it, but the taste was so nonexistent that I didn't stick around to the end. Going to bed was more appealing. This review was written by Steve C of Mill Creek, WA on April 4, 2006 Very satisfying. "Oh Lord" is an understatement! This stick deserves a, "Oh My God in Heaven! I've read the most recent reviews and I guess I was blessed with a special batch. I won the bid on 2 five packs and let me say that they are superb. The ash stays on as long as I let it, and the burn is even all the way down. The draw is effortless and the taste, "Oh My God In Heaven", the taste is lip smack'en good ! My Congratulations to Famous for Olor Fuerte, because they hit a Home Run with this cigar. Keep up the good work fella's. I'm looking foward to trying the churchill ! This review was written by Bruce of Wickliffe, Ohio on December 1, 2005 Too expensive for what it offers This was not from a 5-pack, but from the Famous XV Sampler, and this is straight from my dossier. The first puff, pure coffee, Wow! Super easy draw with rich maduro body and great cloud. Chewy, especially with the bourbon I was drinking, and the aroma of chocolate. Ash was perfect, so was burn, and a dose of spice really takes over on the palate as an aftertaste. And then... everything stopped. After one inch, there was no flavor, other than leather. Still rich and robust, but no complexity, nothing tasty or interesting. Became almost overpowering, though never really harsh. There was the hint of a sweet, chocolatey finish, but there was no way I was "nubbin" this meaty smoke. I include value in my own ratings, and this one gets a 6, not an 8.
