I picked up a 5er of these at the local awhile back and smoked my third one over the weekend. I paid $3.60 per stick.


Size: Corona 6 x 46
wrapper: Nic habano
filler: Nic (30% short fill / 70% longfiller)

This cigar looks like what it is, a $3.00 cigar. The wrapper is abit veiny, but nothing that bothered me. Construction was very good, well applied cap, foot was bunched well and cut evenly.

Cut was fine, and the cold draw revealed nothing but tobacco. Light was fine, and the burn was pretty even on all examples I've had. Since it has short fill the ash wasn't gonna hold on very long, but it was not as flaky as I expected.

Medium body and strength with a nice spice / black pepper finish that builds as it is smoked. Doesn't ever go over the line with bitterness, though a good purge at about the 2/3 mark helped it out. It took me about hour and fifteen minutes to smoke which is pretty standard for me with this vitola.

I would recommend trying these out for another inexpensive yet quality smoke. I see Famous has these in the $50/box range.
