Famous Nicaraguan 5000

mukky · 08-10-2010, 08:14 PM

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?

kelmac07 · 08-10-2010, 08:16 PM

Toros

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

Kreth · 08-10-2010, 09:08 PM

Guess I need to try these for the golf course.

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

smokin5 · 08-11-2010, 10:11 AM

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?

smokin5 · 08-12-2010, 10:16 AM

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.

smokin5 · 08-14-2010, 02:14 PM

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.

GolfNut · 08-14-2010, 02:21 PM

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,

Much appreciated

joeobx · 08-15-2010, 08:40 AM

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.
