Famous Nicaraguan 5000
 
I have heard alot of people rave about these smokes. Figured for the price, might as well pick up a bundle. So what size do you guys recommend for these?

How do they compare to the 3000's which I LOVE.

Scott...the 5Ks are maduros and very similar to the 3Ks, with a tad more sweetness....both very yummy sticks!!!

I've been debating about whether or not to pull the trigger on some of these

The 5000 are a great stick. I like the robusto size, pretty similar to the cao brazilia flavor profile wise imho.

I personally prefer the 5000's to the 3000's.
I find the 2nd 1/2 of the 3000's goes kinda flat
& cardboard-y. The 5000's maintain a good
flavor profile throughout. Mostly espresso &
dark chocolate overtones. Nice Brazilian
aripiraca maduro wrapper, sweet & strong.

I like the Toros, but I recently scarfed a bundle
of 20 Robustos for only $30 shipped from Cigar
Monster. I've not tried them yet, they're still resting.

Do the 5000's need lots of rest like the 3000's?

No, they're good to go pretty soon after arrival -
I gave the first one a month, which is about the
shortest rest I allow any cigar I buy.

The Robustos are on sale for the next 45 minutes at CigarMonster.com.
$29.98 for a bundle of 20.:)

Will probably show up on the Monster Mashup at 11:00 pm EDT also.

Huh, I've always been afraid to buy these thinking they were just some way of getting rid of a MFG's dog rocket. Now I'm really curious. That's a pretty sweet deal on the monster,

Bought my first bundle about 1 1/2 years ago and am working on my forth now. Not on the same level as the brazilla ( one of my top go to) but a good smoke and you cant beat the price.
