Oliva makes the Nic 3K.


I don't think any of the Famous Thousand lines are seconds. They are house blend cigars.

From their page:
Quote:
Famous Nicaraguan 1000 cigars are medium-bodied premium cigars handmade in one of Nicaragua's top factories. The cigars are blended with Nicaraguan longfiller tobaccos rolled in your choice of aromatic Indonesian wrappers with sweet-tasting caps, or richer-tasting Broadleaf Maduro wrappers. The smoke is smooth, well-balanced and earthy with notes of caramel and sweet spice on the finish. If you're a bargain hunter, try a bundle and taste for yourself. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Somewhat vague. You could try calling or emailing and asking?
800-564-2486 or send an email to: customerservice@famous-smoke.com. I've exchanged a couple of emails with the owner/president of Famous Arthur Zaretsky, he seems like a very nice guy.

Personally, I love the Nic 3000 from Famous, but didn't like the 1000s, not even a little bit. But I'm sure they are somebodies favorite smoke!
