I bought a bundle of these a few months back on recommendation.

I wanted a cheaper good smoke to fill the humi but mainly a nice yard gar...

I have tried them on 4 different occasions(I have 21 left) and I cannot stand them! They just seem very "stinky" for lack of a better term. I bought the Maduro..5x50 I think.

Do these get any better after possibly a few minutes? I have tried them a few times and just can't seem to like them. I put them out after maybe a half inch.

If any of you have any ideas let me know. Or if you like these and want to trade please let me know also! haha


I will be buying Roly's I think next time. However right now I have no space in the humi's so it will be a while.

You know...the bad thing about working in a cigar store, is that you tend to get 'spoiled' on good smokes. For the longest time, I used to turn my nose up, at the FdO bundles, simply because they were a bundled stick, and I was too new and stupid to cigars to know that you can get a good stick, in bundles. But after seeing customer after customer grab these things by the handful, I finally decided to give them a try...and am glad I did.

In my experience with these sticks, almost always, the first half inch or so is harsh, nasty and bitter.....BUT...once the cigar warms up, they settle down into a very good, tasty smoke. It's just getting them to that point, that can be painful...but I think it's worth it.

Just my humble opinion....YMMV

You are new but your comments seem honest.

I decided against selling them. I Am sending out a fiver to a fellow BOTL. I will give one another shot this week. If anything possibly make a trade or two.

Nah Scot I was just offering to trade him some primos for the bundle cigars. If he wants to keep them he should and give them another try. Oliva makes some great product.
