Famous Nicaraguan 4000,5000, and 6000?
 
Looks like FSS has added a few new cigars to the mix. The 4k are mild-med, and the 5k are full bodied maduro, the 6k says there is no such beast. At least not yet....hmmmm. The 5k's look REALLY good.:dr

Agreed the 5k line looks fantastic

Any idea who makes the 4k-6ks?

The 5,000 does look great. But a Brazilia wrapper? Are they trying to be CAO?

I do not know who makes the 4k-6k. :(

No one even knows for certain who makes the 3k.

I got a bundle of Famous Nicaraguan 6000's. I love Vudu, 1961, and Patel Brothers Next Generation....all developed my Amilcar P.Castro.
Before he did his thing with Patel, he sold the 6000's to Famous. They are very similar to the aforementioned cigars. But at cheaper price point. One I can afford. $50 instead of $100. Good stick.

I have my eye on the 5000, can anyone give me some more info of this stick? I really like a full bodied maduro, but prefer them to be somewhat smooth and not too overpowering. Thanks !!

I really like the 5000. Nice strong semi sweet maduro.

I just bought a bundle of the 5000's. They should be here in a few days. The one I had a few weeks ago was a great stick for the price.

Hate to be a debbie downer here, but it is very possible that he may have gotten his answer a little while ago. That question you answered was posted a year and a half ago... :)

The 5000 is a great every-day maduro. Just hide them in the cooler for 4-5 months first.

This has been discussed many times. I phrased my comment specifically.

Certain: Known for sure; established beyond doubt.

Oliva has not come out and said directly that they produce this. If you know of an instance where they have I stand corrected.

I've tried them all, and while the 5000 ain't bad, the 3000 is the star of the Nic series.
It's especially good after a couple months of aging.

I have not tried the 4K, 5K or 6K but the 3K's are really good with some age.
