Finish on the palette was long very rich in flavors /Creamy a excellent cigar a true classic of Cuban old school flavor.No one should not have these in the humidor as they are a must for a lover of Cuban cigars !

The cigar I smoked was an excellent example of a great tasting young cigar as it should always be and it will age magnificently as it has shown how good it was young.

I smoke this cigar in honor of Don Alejandro 90th Birthday many more and I hope to meet you one day as I have heard many great things about you.From your character to your endless knowledge of the cigar industry.

Happy Birthday Don Alejandro!

spot on review Jimmy! I have a box of mid 07's that seem similar to yours, you call it almond, smoked oak and coffee and I call it ANIMAL CRACKERS! Thats right, I'm not afraid to say it, animal crackers. This cigar tastes just like animal crackers. I love em'.

[mbrody]

Nice review and pics Jimmy. I haven't had animal crackers in a looooong time.

Great review, going to have to study the wheel of flavors ( or rather how to describe it) Wow!

[ksblazer]

I really like the sweet chocolate/cocoa flavors that VR Famosos have. These are one of favorite Robustos. Not sure why they don't get mentioned more?

Great review Jimmy, and a wonderful watch.

[Ken Gargett]

good stuff jimmy and i was going to ask, what is that dodgy watch doing there?

i'm assuming it was a present from a loved one.

[Jimmy2]

Thanks Smithy ..Ken the watch was bought from the Prez a couple of years back...

[Padrino]

Great review Jimmy ! i like your review style.

[ilgatto]

These sound very good. How are they compared to Clasicos and Familiares? I just acquired a box of each and I have yet to try them. I am dry boxing a Clasico to try in a couple of days as we speak.

[Guest rob]

Nice one!

I've had many unicos but am still to try one of these. Will try to get around to them soon.

[hoyopr]

Great review and photos, I have yet to try anything from VR, but will note to self to try one of these soon.

Nice review.

Have a box of clasicos from '97 that smoke like a dream.

What was the length of time you had with this cigar? ~60 min?

[Guest tugboat]

Just received a box of LPM JUN 07.

Construction looks great. Mines resting but sounds good to smoke now.

Thanks for the review.

Hi, Great Review! Excellent Photos! The Famosos are a personal favorite. Well balanced flavor profile, with all the flavors and aromas that I love. Just enough power, but with finesse. Usually smoke them with a mug of rich nicaraguan coffee and water.

Cheers
