“We all know people's tastes vary and one of the previous reviewers mentioning giving these some time in the humidor to get them bring out the best in them. With that in mind, though I have not smoked more than a bundle of these, I can't recall one that didn't burn/draw right or didn't taste very good. I bought the original natural Fat Boys and at 3.5 inches, they were just too hot for me to enjoy. But I really like these longer, darker Fat Boy Extras.”
“Wow! Just started smoking one of these from my Dog's Breath sampler. It is absolutely awesome. Reminds me of the Rocky Patel Winter Edition cigar. Taste is great. Burn is great. If you like a bold rich peppery taste, this is it. Even the wrapper taste stays on your lips after each puff tastes good. I'll be buying more of these for sure. Thanks CI!”
“I bought a bundle of these because the length, ring gage and maduro wrapper appealed to me. I do love my maduro's. But usually I am at least a little disappointed when trying something out of the ordinary, for me. When these arrived they looked so good I had to try one that night. I gotta tell ya, everything about these impressed me, the flavor , construction and the strength. My humi's are filled with my share of the big names including Gurkha's, Rocky's and 5 Vegas' but I tell you I will be keeping a supply of these on hand as well.”
“Smoked one the first week of arrival,was not impressed, so after resting them for a couple of weeks they got better. Earth tones with a sweetness that pops in and out NOT very complex, this is good everyday smoke and for the price you can hand em out to your buddies. Value is key here gents, I would order again.”
“Got 10 of em on a bargain deal, wish i had saved the money. Now I'm trading them away on the golf course. It's just too bold to be flavorful. It does burn well, but a hard draw combined with overpowering flavors just don't equal a good smoke. I think FG tried too hard with this one. I'm going back to my staple NUB.”
“If you were only allowed to smoke one cigar throughout the month, this would be a top candidate. Everything is just right with it. The size is good, the construction faultless, lights easily, burns smoothly and cool, draws easily, tastes great and gets better with each puff of thick rich smoke. If it has a drawback, that would be that it isn't big enough to last longer. In a word, it's a giant killer. Definitely worth always having on hand.”
“Wimps need not apply ... worth every cent. I love a consistent great burn and a smoke that will slap your fat face- this is it . The flavor dares you to take another drag and finish what you started.”
“Awesome cigar! Extremely rich flavor and thick white smoke. Had this immediately following dinner and now I want to go to sleep. The flavor is without equal. I received three of them in a CI sampler. I was surprised to see a mazo of 20 cigars for on $40. I would pay $8+ for the rich flavor. If you are a maduro advocate, this one is for you.”
“I got these in a sampler a year ago and I have to say that they weren't that tasty at first. As stated in a previous review, once they spend some time in a humidor (3-4 weeks) their flavor is unleashed. They have such a smooth chocolate and coffee flavor that you just can't get enough of them.”
