"Overrated indeed"
I’ve worked my way through most of the Famous brands offered and this 6000 had been one of the worst. The flavor is good but this bundle has been plagued with a lot of tunneling sticks that don’t stay lit and required continual relighting. Forget about getting to the end of the smoke.
My suggestion is to pass on these.

"Great cigar for the price"
I just received a bundle today and am smoking my first cigar. Admittedly the sample size is small, but I ve got to say this is one nice cigar. It has a toasty, slightly spicy flavor which I really like. The construction is good as is the draw, and the aroma has a pleasant sweet note. I ve smoked many $10 to $15 cigars, and I have to say that this is as good of a smoke as many of them. Certainly a good buy.

"Not bad BUT"
not all that great. Construction is lacking; lots of unraveling at about half way through. Not bad for the money.

"Nix 6000 s"
Good everyday smokes, like the
Nic 4000 s....like those as well when available, like that you can cut the shoulders if not ready to smoke and the tobacco usually doesn t leak out..

"Great Budget Cigar"
This cigar was purchased as an everyday cigar on a budget. Well all i can say is WOW!!! Great full bodied taste with spice and chocolate. I love nicaraguan cigars and i found me a great budget everday cigar with great flavor. Try a bundle and leave in humidor for a few weeks. You wont be disappointed. Some people on their reviews said overated! What they dont get is its not overated for a budget bundle cigar its price point is perfect!!!

"Highly overrated."
This cigar is rated 92. Whomever did that has never smoked a San Lotano or a Pinolero. Those are 92's or better. I'd rate this bundled house brand no higher than 70, but that 92 rating seems to draw the suckers in. You are welcome to them.

"Cigar Perfection"
I am a fan of Amilcar Perez Castro's cigars, and at normal prices i'd be looking at twice the price of these beauties, not every day smoking affordability on my budget.
However finding this Famous cigar is made by Mr. Castro has made me a very happy man indeed. I am on my second bundle and these are my new favourite cigar.
They light easy and burn perfect, they have plenty of lovely aromatic smoke, taste delightful being full of flavour and bite without being harsh or overpowering, a nice complex flavour that will please lovers of both medium and full strength cigars.
I have found my palates perfect cigar, at a great price to boot.

"Excellent choice!"
I've already bought 2 bundles of these, back now for my third. So far these are my favorite of the Famous line. Nice and spicy, most draw very easily, had one or two that were blocked but I can't complain. I've gotten complements on the aroma from veteran cigar smokers, and I personally like these guys after dinner with a cup of coffee or tea. They're a good buy at regular price. even better on sale! Great for parties. Can't complain!

"Wow. Full flavored pepper!"
This cigar is fantastic. It is full of flavor that isn't over powering. I'm an experienced smoker and for the price these are an exceptional value. I've smoked 15 of these. All of them have been consistent and only get better with age. Flavor consists of cedar, pepper, earthy and hints of chocolate throughout. I'm ordering another bundle soon. When I grab one of these. I know what I'm getting every time. Thanks Famous!

"Beautifully constructed and peppery"
I am no cigar aficionado, so take this for what it's worth. These cigars are well made, burn well, and draw like a dream. But they are peppery and the last few inches are too strong for my tender palate. I'm glad I bought a bundle, but will stay with the more mild varieties in the future.
