"Best three dollar smoke you can have"
Terrific mild smoke, a great breakfast cigar, usually my first stick of the day. Great roll, super nice flavor. Never had one that didn't draw easy. I favor the toro, but the churchill is also a nice shape/size. Give the Gispert maduro a try too. Box pressed, full of flavor, best three dollar box pressed-maduro going.

"A real winner"
Okay so I'm not a sophisticated aficionado. I'm not able to tell you that the Gispert Toro is exceptionally flavorful, with a hint of spice and a taste of old sweat socks. But as the old cliché goes, I do know what I like, and this cigar is definitely one of them.
For me the six characteristics of a great cigar all boiled down equal this. Does it taste good, draw well, burn evenly, and when it's burned so far down it's singing the band, you wish it was about two inches longer?
Looks like I got a winner.

"Perfectly made, but way too mild..."
Everything said about this cigar by the other reviewers is correct, but my taste tends toward considering Fuente a mild cigar. This is full-bodied, creamy (however, not like a Cubano is creamy), a touch too dry on the palate, and just plain disappointing. Toward the last third, it began to show some nice flavors, then turned quickly bitter. I wish that I liked it as much as everyone else as the price is great.

"Nice for the Price"
I am a Dominican smoker but will try just about anything; this Honduran was a nice surprise. I Bought the Gispert sampler and was not disappointed with any of the sizes, smooth, mild and flavorful good draw and good construction. I will most likely buy again the Toro 5 pack is 13 and change you can't go wrong at that price.

"Good Mild Puffer"
This is a good mild smoke. The price is right. However, it's a bit ugly. Still, all in all, it's worth a bit of moolah and a few moments. None will be wasted.

"Gispert Churchill"
A great value for the new and experienced cigar smoker. Construction, taste, aroma, are in the top quartile. Look........ for a stick thats about less than three dollars....... is an excellent buy. If you like mild to medium body smoke its for you. I have had all the different ring gages and they are good to excellent.
Those who are pointing out draw problems and flavor weakness I suggest they look at their humidor as part of the problem. Further, these cigars are not rolled by the elite rollers that touch the more expensive lines. If you have a draw problem, quit the bitchin and buy a two dollar poker. get it. Thats what makes what we do exciting you never know what the next smoking experience will be like.
You will never be sorry buying a Gispert. They are right next to my Nat Shermans and Romeo's. There you go now go get a box and enjoy your smokes!

"Outstanding if you like mild smokes"
Had my first one from the box a couple days ago, and it was great. The second and third were just as enjoyable. Perfect burn with a light draw. Just a bit too mild for me, but at this price I'll always keep these on hand for my guests. The taste is very similar to Macanudo's Hyde Park...very mild, almost creamy tasting.

"Working man s Montecristo / Belicoso"
I Smoked these for the 1st time as a $15 ashtray and 5 smokes deal...I thought they were quite good, but as the normal price is $75 for a box of 15, Gispert is out of my price range...Then I saw the Famous price...I bought 2 boxes...Smoked them up, and just ordered 2 more !!! This cigar is a mild to medium strength, but its so smooth and balanced it never goes above medium...These have a nice flavor too...Perfect for someone not looking for tons of power...The belicosos are shaped more like a trumpet, or pyramid shape...Fatter at the foot and tapering to a nice corona size at the head...The burn is perfectly straight...Generous and open draw...Billows great big mouthfuls of smoke This is the workingmans Montecristo...Priced for everyday !!!

"Not bad"
This is the first time trying this cigar, its a bit dull when first lit but towards the end of the first 3rd the flavor was very smooth and creamy. I had floral and nutty hints as well as some warm tones. All in all its a great mild to medium cigar and a great price. Would definitely buy again.
