Pretty good for the price

These have been in the humidor for about a month bought from Cigar Monster for a great price. Starts off with a strong leathery taste, but the cigar slowly became more complex throughout the smoke. In the back half the leather taste calmed down and gave way to hints of chocolate and cream. I had to straighten out the burn a couple times and relight twice. The wrapper started to splinter a bit towards the end, but all in all I'd say it was a pretty good smoke for the price. If the construction was a little better I would call this a great cigar.

Great tasty smoke!! Can't wait to have another

Bought a box of these on cigarmonster and was a little skeptical. The 1st one was delicious! Nice maduro wrapper. Haven't had another one yet but cant wait.

Decent!

The description of these was scary but intriguing. When the price was right, I bit. Glad I did. Not as spicy as a Camacho or a CAO Brasilia or even as described but instead, a medium to full body and flavor with a great aroma. Reminded me most of a less intense Partagas Black or a more intense La Finca. If you can find it for a good price, BUY!!!

My go to daily smoke!

I cant say enough good things about this cigar. It is my daily smoke. I love to just kick back with a few beers and enjoy this creamy, earthy smoke. Perfect draw, and excellent consistancy. My only problem is that I didnt buy enough of them when FSS was running the buy one get one special!!! Cant wait until they decide to do it again. I will definitely be picking up 10 boxes of these gems!

An OK Cigar out of the box.

The draw is tight, not the worst Ive had, but hard. This is a medium cigar with pepper flavors. The name may be to strong for the cigar. The flavor gets better and stronger as is burns down. Well constructed and does hold a good ash. Ill let them age in the humidor for a few and check them again.

Nice... Can't wait to see what some time will do..

Got some of these in a split and couldn't wait to try one. These are some beautiful cigars which produce some nice ash and great aroma. The only problem I had with it was a slightly tight draw. I've heard with a few months of sitting in the humi they only improve. I may have a problem letting the ones I have age :)

Good Smoke

I enjoy the medium bodied, peppery flavor of this cigar. I got 2 boxes for the price of 1, which I think that is the price they should be all the time. Otherwise, I think they are overpriced.

On Second Thought

I enjoy the Diablo cigars. I just got 2 boxes for the price of one and as far as I am concerned I stole them. These will always have a spot in one of my humidors!! Good deal at full price and fantastic deal at any other price!! Nice taste, even burn and totally enjoyable!!!

Good Cigar

Got these on auction for about 1/3 the Famous price. Good little cigar, not sure I would pay the going rate but I think I got a bargin. Nice draw, good ash, very pleasent aroma, should have bid on 2 boxes.

Good Smoke

Bought two boxes of these on the wholesale auction. Have smoked 5 so far and very happy. Good flavor, good draw and smoked nice down to a finger burner.

Overpriced

This is a good smoke but not a great one,,I think its highly overpriced.It is spicy and a medium bodied smoke ,draw was a bit hard and for the price its just not worth it.
