Got these in Feb '08. Robustos.
What a great blend. Lots of subtle flavor changes and a great aroma. For those of you who like ass-kicking cigars, you owe it to yourself and your wallet to try these. Prime rib flavor for the price of a hamburger. This is one of those cigars that make me question why I ever pay more than $2 for a cigar. ![]() |

Dominican 5000, eh? ![]() I've tried the 1000 (didn't care for 'em), the 2000 (OK but won't buy again) and the 4000 (pretty good, need some more). Are the 5000 mild? The customer reviews have kept me from trying the 5000. |

To be honest when I first had the Dom 5000 it sucked it was bitter and harsh, I tossed it about 1/2 way. Stashed them away in the humi for about 6 months then gave them another try. I couldn't believe how nicely they rounded out. Smooth, creamy, nutty, sweet and mild. The famous description pretty much nails it! I only had a fiver so I cant comment on consistency but the few I had really turned out to be excellent. As I stated before, Ive only had them in the morning and always paired them with a ice coffee and a little coffee mate hazelnut creamer. May its the combo, I dont know? The whole experiance got me interested in connecticuts again. Something I put on the back burner for a long time. Last edited by Coz77; 03-04-2009 at 11:21 AM. |

Going the opposite route today. Smoking a torpedo from a bundle I just got a couple of days ago. Sticker on the bottom says 2-09. These babies are fresh.
Unique flavor that no other cigar even comes close to. A lot of "strength" but really GOOD flavor. Weird spices. Rosemary? One of my favorite NCs. Hell, one of my favorite cigars PERIOD. ![]() |

I've had several of the Nicaraguan 3000 Grande Robusto's (6x60) and have another bundle in the humidor that just turned 6 months. They've always been one of my favorites.

The funny thing is I think these have more "Cuban" flavor than many Cuban cigars.

Smoked my first Famous Nicaraguan 3000 tonight, toro size. What a great cigar, totally terrific. Leathery, spicy, and woody flavors, almost velvety on the tongue. Excellent construction. I got this in a PIF from BlackIrish. They're out of stock currently, but when they're back in I'll be buying some.

Probably my favorite NC, and one of my favorite cigars period.
I wish they would try a few new sizes though, with a bit thinner RG. Maybe a lonsdale or corona gorda. |

If they made a corona I'd smoke them all of the time. I still smoke the robustos quite a bit, but a smaller RG would be awesome.
