I picked up my new Famous catalog today, and what did I see glaring back at me?

Look at the size of that Vein! And that foot damage! Even in the glamour shot they can't hide it.
:-) What did we do to deserve this?

I thought Tabacalera Tamboril died with the Cigar Boom?
Box split anyone?

never had one myself.
But I have seen the Churchills rate pretty high on a ratings site.

For those who dont remember the Tamboril thread that was posted on a certian, now defunct cigar forum, I give you this:

These are as bad as Cremosas and four times higher?

I honestly thought this brand was dead. CS became aware of them after Da Klugs got ahold of a bunch on clearence I think. Apparently they were worse than the cremosa.
There is no way these could be any better than the original "Tamboril"

If you want a complex, medium-bodied cigar that offers great taste and consistency at a reasonable price, try a box or a 5-Pack today.
Sounds great! Look at all the countries and types!

Don't Waste Your $$$
This is somebodies idea of a joke rite? Bad burn, horrible taste, Not worth smoking, Not worth chewing on either. I buy ALLOT of smokes and the ones I don't like, I give to my friends. This box went straight to the trash!!!

Back in the day this was a truly turdly cigar. Hands down the worst cigar I've ever smoked... maybe Cremosa is worse, but I haven't had the pleasure. I can't imagine anything worse than a mid-90's Tamboril.
On the other hand, they would have to really put in an effort to make a cigar as bad as that, so chances are the new ones are at least comparatively better.

OMG, back in the day this was like sucking on the white part of an orange peel and smelled like death once lit. I remeber lighting one and having to soak it in water to make it go away. Why they would bring this back is beyond me.

Why would someone even bother spending the money in order to bring back a Brand that has such a horrible reputation?
This makes absolutely no sense to me.
So, who wants to do a box split?
More comedy gold from the review section:

I've smoked 3 thus far, all 3 have canoed well over an inch. Horrific example of a premuim cigar, makes you want to slap whomever developped this blwend as it sucks huge. Be warned these cigars are not worth a quarter a piece. This silky habano wrapper, it aint remotely silky, it breaks immediately into the smoke. Horrific Habano just flat out Horrific, save your money, dont get duped into thinking because famous sells them for $5 a piece they are good cigars, these arent worth a quarter a piece, if that.
