"A disappointment!"
I really enjoy La Floridita normally and maybe this one is one for the record books on a true screw up, but I had three plugs in this gar...spent most of the time relighting after getting rid of plugs...then the taste wasn't what I have come to expect from La Floridita. I think I might give the fuerte the benefit of the doubt by trying one more, but the gar overall was such a big A disappointment! The only thing consistent about this cigar was the inconsistency!

"good!"
Is not bad for the price but I was expecting a little more in flavor, since those have been wrapped in a Brazilian "da mata" could be better.

I'm just about six months in to the cigar world, I received this cigar in a sampler pack and couldn't wait to smoke the other one I received with it. Thought i already had a favorite smoke until I sampled this one. Great cigar regardless of the price. I have sampled 20.00 cigars that didn't taste or burn this well.

"Not so good!"
I always buy robustos, but this cigar (maybe I got two bad ones) is like smoking a piece of wood. Very tightly rolled and burned unevenly! I could not draw much smoke through it. don't go by my review, I just will not buy it again!

"Nice quick smoke"
Nice smoke with an easy draw but does not burn even.

"Please Have A Sale"
A great smoke, not harsh like stated in an earlier review. For me at least. Nice even burn, long ashes and great flavor. Took over an hour to smoke this one and I enjoyed every minute.

"Not A Surprise"
Came from Central PA and was in the Easton area. Had to stop at the WORLD FAMOUS-FAMOUS SMOKE SHOP. These were in my basket to buy on-line, but purshased in store. Couldn't wait to drive 3 hours home and fire one up. Opened a Hoegarrden and lit it up. I shouldn't be surprised, but an incredible smoke. Almost as great as the girl that helped me in the shop. Thanks Famous and keep up the great work.

"Excellent, excellent smoke"
This is a terrific cigar. It's very rich and yes, quite strong, but never bitter. It's a great after-dinner smoke - very satisfying. The workmanship is top notch with a very consistent draw and very even burning. It's a bit pricey for a cigar that isn't a big name, but if you care more about flavor than labels and you like a rich, full-bodied cigar, this is one you gotta try!

"Fuerte or Harsh?"
Fuerte may be a misleading name, this smoke is simply harsh from start to finish with little nuances or compelling flavors to be found. The positive, great draw and fantastic smoke from the start. If you're considering a La Floridita pick up the reserve or limited. You'll be happy you did..

"Tons of bang for the buck!!"
Very solid, earthy smoke. Nice spice and cedar tones. Very even burn throughout. Maduro is bold but not bitter. For the money this is one kickin smoke. I have smoked 3 of these and the consistency has been great. They do tend to get fuller flavored with age. Buy a box, you wont be disappointed.
