Just like Tobii has been saying, these are great sticks for the price. I usually smoke 4-5 of the robusto's a day!

Keep checking cigarmonster for their "flight samplers" of these.

Or you can just buy a bundle and then resell the rest if you don't like them.

But don't worry, you'll like them.

Yeah, I just said cigarmonster as they show up pretty regularly and are cheaper than on the regular site. Cigarmonster is Famous's version of Joecigar. But it looks like you can buy singles on famous so that may be the way to go. Personally I really like the toro size.

I do believe Best Cigar has the old schools, and not the new mass produced "feed the masses" smokes.
This blend used to be special. I'm afraid it'll be reduced to crap. I sure hope not.

um...mass produced "feed the masses"??

So two B&M stores have these sticks, Famous is now the THIRD online store to have them (Discount and Best Cigar being the first two)...and they are now being ""reduced to crap""??



Well, at least we won't have to worry about a "recall" due to paint on the boxes. Yeah, no "mass market" there.....

I just worry they'll go the way lots of good sticks go when they get popular. Like the JJ maduro, for instance.
Aside from that, I didn't say they were being reduced to crap. I said I feared they would if they got too popular. You said they were being reduced to crap, not me.

The ones from Famous taste pretty much the same as the ones I picked up from Best Cigar to me.

Typically I hate to resurrect old threads... but I got to smoke one of these last night and man I liked this bad boy. I did some quick Google searching for it and found this thread. I didn't really notice it being as powerful as advertised but wow was it tasty. I must buy more of these

These are a great cigar and you can get a bundle from Famous for a good price.
They were just on the Monster yesterday for $75
