Re: Famous Nicaraguan 5000
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.

Re: Famous Nicaraguan 5000
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.

Re: Famous Nicaraguan 5000
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,

Re: Famous Nicaraguan 5000
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.
