The 3000 almost got added as a blind taste test cigar. Now I wish I added it.

These sound like the JR Cuban ALTs Bolivar coronas and Cohiba Sig IVs.

Me too!:D

Re: Famous Nic 3000 -- well rested
 

OK, So have they changed over the years? I got a bundle of the Torps back in '06 and I love 'em. I'd like to get some more, but I'm afraid like many store brand bundles, the maker/blend/etc has changed. So are they the same as they used to be?

Re: Famous Nic 3000 -- well rested
 

This whole thread makes me very happy as I got a bundle of 5k robustos to round out my recent order. I figured for $1.50/stick from monster, what did I have to lose? Now I'm drooling. :banger

Re: Famous Nic 3000 -- well rested
 

I'll have to get me some of these.:tu

Re: Famous Nic 3000 -- well rested
 

Nic 3s are amazing from Famous! I had a bundle I put 2 years on and then couldn't stop smoking them about 6 months ago and then the bundle was gone! Damn, those were damned tasty!

Re: Famous Nic 3000 -- well rested
 

I notice varying wrapper shades from batch to batch, but over all they have maintained a very good consistency with this line. Famous knows they have a winner, they ain't gonna screw it up. :ss

Smoking a torpedo right now.



GOOD GOD what a great cigar.

Re: Famous Nic 3000 -- well rested
 

I've got a bundle from 10/2009 and it is as good as my last bundle which was about a year older. These are the real deal. Little Havana Overruns are in the same league for me.

Brag warning:



I have two left from the original offering, four left from the first offering with bands. :D:banger


MCS is right on the money. These smoke best with a year or more on them. Not bad fresh, but killer with age. Wish I had purchased ten bundles way back when, instead of only 2 bundles!!!

Re: Famous Nic 3000 -- well rested
 

Looks like I'll have to give this one a try, sounds right up my alley!

Re: Famous Nic 3000 -- well rested
 

I have not had one of these in while. I picked some up a couple years ago while I was in PA visiting family. The guy behind the counter said if I let them rest a bit I would be surprised. Man was he right. You cant beat this cigar for the money as long as you have the time to invest.

Re: Famous Nic 3000 -- well rested
 

Saw this thread last week and it got me thinking about the Nic 3000's sitting in the humidor. Pulled one out today (6x60) that I bought back in 9/2008. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great smoke. Guess I'll have to revisit these a little more often since I still have a few ..... maybe even stash another bundle away for a few years.

$39.98/bundle for torpedos on the cigarmonster right now for the next 37 minutes.
