"A choice small cigar"
Tasty, easy draw, even a nice smell that my daughter doesn't mind. My first good experience with a maduro cigar.

"love those stogies but damn there expensive"
Tried these beauties a couple of weeks ago and they are damn tasty,cost me $55.00 a tin here in australia, but worth it.Good for a quick smoke when running short on time(20 minutes)just wish I could get them cheaper like in America.

"Excellent moderately priced cigarillo"
I've tried sbout a dozen different cigarillos in the $10.00-$15.00 per tin price range and have found these to be the most consistant of the bunch; good draw, balanced (flavorful without being harsh).

"Great in a time crunch!"
Very enjoyable; great all the way around! Sat on the porch in Maine; watched the leaves fall and enjoyed every minute of this smoke.

"A Tad Disappointing"
I expected a smoother smoke from this Macanudo, but it really doesn't compare to its larger brothers. Construction and burn was good, but the taste was a little disappointing. I guess for me, a cigar still needs to come big and the Ascot didn't deliver.

"Excellent Quickie"
I usually smoke the Baron De Roths, but when I want a quickie the Ascots are GREAT. They are more of a medium body cigar with more Maduro flavor than the larger gauge cigars. The price is a bit high so I order them 100 at a time. Much cheaper than the Ashton Aged Maduro #5 which is my truely favorite quickie.

"Terrible"
The problems start with opening the wrapper on these cigarillos, the plastic only cuts away half-way, ensuring a pain in the arse getting it off, and usually doing damage to the cigar. Then you have to try and smoke it, covering up the splits in the leaf with your lips. It never smokes right, you never get a good solid puff of smoke in your mouth. You have to stoke it at least three times to get the cigarillo to put out any substantial smoke. It s a bitter, biting-tasting smoke, kind of rancid. It s not too strong, that s not the problem. Just garbage, I wouldn t take these if you gave them to me. Try Nub Café, always my favorite go-to cigarillo. This is the only cigar I ve had any problems with from Famous.

"Great Smoke"
Consistent quality with a great flavor! These make my commute home from work much more enjoyable. Only minor flaw is I often get some unraveling at the end.
