"Falling apart even after a month in the humidor."
This the second box from Famous that just fall apart. I need to find a different cigar or a different supplier.

"Best Cigar 2018"
This cigar is rates a 91 by C,A, but I give it a 97. It is by far my favorite cigar, long ash, easy draw, long lasting, great flavor and a lot of smoke. This cigar is strong but not overly so, and in any case not for the faint of heart.

"One of my Top Five"
This is a go to smoke for me, one of my top 5. A solid 90+ across the board plus unlike the Gol I have never had a Samba fall apart.

"If you like a strong pepper bite on your tongue"
Well got these in a sampler, was expecting alot out of this cigar because of the reviews. Wanted more flavor out of the stick. To me the only thing that got more intense was the pepper, and im not much a a pepper guy, felt like someone pepper sprayed my tongue.Burn was flawless, however it required 1 touch up toward the end, but otherwise razor sharp. Draw was very nice, and so was the construction, a beautifully made stick just not for me.

"Fine, other than the falling apart thing"
I picked up a 5 pack of these based on reviews. I didn't get half way through any of them due to them unwrapping themselves and just disintegrating. Disappointing.

"...beautiful..."
I got this at a recent dinner event in San Diego. Beautifully constructed, inviting fragrance, nice construction and above all - a consistent full bodied flavour down to the nub.

"A bit disappointed"
My cousin and myself were told that CAO makes wonderful cigars by one of his friends. So we went to the smoke shop, picked up a couple of these, took them home and fired them up.
For the price we paid ($9.00) for this cigar, we were both disappointed. However it wasn't a horrible smoke.
The burn was uneven and even hard to stay lit. The taste wasn't bad, but certainly wasn't good in our opinions. All in all, it left us shrugging our shoulders and wondering why we paid the money for it.

"My Go-To"
There are better... there are worse... But we all have one that balances everything... flavor, burn, draw, price, looks. This is mine! I can't afford many boxes so I go for the most enjoyable when I can. GREAT SMOKE!
