"not bad at all!!"
Bought a bundle on Monster for a cheap winter smoke. Pretty darn good for what it is..I've smoked about 5 from the 20 and so far, good burn, draw, construction, taste...all in all, great for what it is (it's not a Hemingway short story, after all!) Actually I am writing because I just came back to order another bundle and saw the reviews. I was surprised to see that there was negativity, however, I do understand that bundles can vary greatly..maybe I got the lucky one..i'm about to order bundle 2 so..stay tuned! We shall see.....

"Not Bad! Good Short Cold Temperature Smoke"
I purchased a bundle to try. I was looking for a short time smoke. The first one I lighted, Its taste was immeadiately displeasing. I hesitated tossing it away, knowing that I smoked other more expensive cigars that was similar tasting when first lit. some expensive ones tasted that way completely. This cigars shape makes the tip hard to light. Its draw didn't vary much, it actually got better, I also noticed a difference on the draw depending on if I used a cutter or a punch. Its taste / flavor was not unbareable. It burned well and long for a small cigar. They were not wrapped to tight that the draw was bad or wouldnot burn. I let my buddies try some and they liked them also. They are a good short smoke for some one without the length of time for a longer smoke. I also like them because on really cold days when you want to have a smoke outside, do you freeze your butt off smoking a longer cigar or light up a short one. I'll take the shorter one. It turned out to be pretty good little smoke overall. The price was right , so I purchased a few more bundles.
I'm glad I didn't toss it.

"Again"
I like these. I like the price. I have tried the cameroons and the havanos. I prefer the cameroons but they are out so I have to move to the havanos. I noticed that before I smoke them, I have to roll it between my hands with some good pressure to loosen it up for a better draw. Other than that, I don't have much to complain about. They are tight, well constructed and taste great. light licorice, chocolate tones and nutty - burns nice - smoked it to the nub.

"Disappointment"
I've tried a few shapes & sizes of Mosaico. Some have been decent. These were disappointing. Hard draw, Hot Smoke for about 50% of the bundle. There were a few that were good to very good, maybe 6 out of the bunch. My experience is that these very a lot from Cigar to Cigar. If you can buy them cheap enough to throw a few away they are passable.

"A "Perfecto" that's not nearly "perfect""
The Havano Perfecto is probably the worst cigar I have ever purchased from Famous. I have now smoked an entire bundle, before I wrote the review. The draw on probably 75% of the bundle was so tight I either discarded them very quickly, or found myself wondering why I hadn't. The ones that had a half-way decent draw offered a somewhat harsh flavor, and burned unevenly as often as not. While I've had relatively good luck with Famous' bundles, I'll never buy any more of this one. I did just purchase a bundle of the Cameroon wrapper perfectos, so we'll see how the two compare. Famous, you let me down on this one.
