Possibly some of the best tobacco to ever pass through my lips. In every aspect, I was very pleased with the Vegas Robaina Famosos.
Appearance : Rating:
This medium-length cigar is very smooth in appearance, the occasional vein adding to the allure of the deep chocolate hue. Very masculine appearance.
Construction : Rating:
Excellent construction, not too tight, not too lose. Incredible halo of smoke. Possibly the smoothest burn that I have ever had the pleasure to witness.
Flavor : Rating:
The first taste is powerful, taking you to a pure unspoiled beach at sunset, with a cherry flavor that lingers on your lips like candy. This wonderful tropical sensation continues as you take the first third in. Pure delight. The second third still has the same sweetness, yet with more of a fir or pine sensation lingering in your mouth and on your lips. You just want to keep licking your lips. Amazing. The final third seems to intensify, requiring far less strength in your draw, but if taken in lightly, you still maintain the flavorful sensation.
Value : Rating:
Worth every dollar that you are willing to spend on it. Excellent smoke for any occasion! Most certainly worth more than the cost.
Overall Rating : Overall Rating:
If I have ever smoked a five star cigar, the Famosa is it. It is the cigar for any occasion, any time of day.
