Tonight I smoked a FdO Maduro Robusto OTT. Here are some quick thoughts on it.

Appearence: This is one of the better constructed bundles I've sampled. Very few veins and solid construction.

Burn: I had to correct the burn on the cigar twice but when you compare that to the Perdomo Seleccion Reserve I had last night which had to be corrected 4 times I think it was much better.

Flavor: To me this is a great medium bodied maduro. Not as strong as an Embassy Nic but still good flavor.

Overall: Like I said earlier I had a Perdomo smoke last night that required constant care and went out on me twice. Compaired to that this was much more enjoyable. 3 out of 5.

As they rest more I'll post another review to see if they change.

I just had my first of these yesterday, courtesy of SSJ...Thanks Buddy!! It was a great bundle cigar IMO. Very smooth rich taste, med'full in body and medium strength. My only complaint is it was underfilled.

Where is the best price on these bundles??? I want more!!

These smokes are excellent and deliver a lot of bang for the buck!

I know the feeling. You've got enough to worry about with fstops and shutter speeds along with lighting than to know every single cigar abbrivation.

I bet these aren't as good as they CAO Criollo though
