Famous Nic 3000 -- well rested

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

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?

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.

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.

Smoking a torpedo right now.

GOOD GOD what a great cigar.

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.

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!!!
