We (Famous) picked up those cigars and re-packaged them. The rumor goes that they were re-banded as N3Ks. We can live with the rumor but that doesn't mean it's true.
And a damn good job Famous has done in maintaining these as a very affordable bundle cigar that has kept it's original profile and taste through the many years!
