What a great blend. Lots of subtle flavor changes and a great aroma.

For those of you who like ass-kicking cigars, you owe it to yourself and your wallet to try these. Prime rib flavor for the price of a hamburger. This is one of those cigars that make me question why I ever pay more than $2 for a cigar.

Agreed...its been a while since Ive had one. I think its time to fill up the shopping cart at famous. Im also fond of the Dominican 5000 toros. With about 6 month on them they make a great morning cigar in the summer with some iced coffee.

Dominican 5000, eh?

I've tried the 1000 (didn't care for 'em), the 2000 (OK but won't buy again) and the 4000 (pretty good, need some more). Are the 5000 mild? The customer reviews have kept me from trying the 5000.

To be honest when I first had the Dom 5000 it sucked it was bitter and harsh, I tossed it about 1/2 way. Stashed them away in the humi for about 6 months then gave them another try. I couldn't believe how nicely they rounded out. Smooth, creamy, nutty, sweet and mild. The famous description pretty much nails it!

I only had a fiver so I cant comment on consistency but the few I had really turned out to be excellent. As I stated before, Ive only had them in the morning and always paired them with a ice coffee and a little coffee mate hazelnut creamer. May its the combo, I dont know? The whole experiance got me interested in connecticuts again. Something I put on the back burner for a long time.
