Famous Nic 3000 -- well rested - Page 2

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

These sound like the JR Cuban ALTs Bolivar coronas and Cohiba Sig IVs.

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'll have to get me some of these.

Nic 3s are amazing from Famous! I had a bundle I put 2 years on and then couldn't stop smoking them about 6 months ago and then the bundle was gone! Damn, those were damned tasty!

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!!!

Looks like I'll have to give this one a try, sounds right up my alley!

Ranger_B · 09-21-2010, 05:07 PM

I have not had one of these in while. I picked some up a couple years ago while I was in PA visiting family. The guy behind the counter said if I let them rest a bit I would be surprised. Man was he right. You cant beat this cigar for the money as long as you have the time to invest.

Saw this thread last week and it got me thinking about the Nic 3000's sitting in the humidor. Pulled one out today (6x60) that I bought back in 9/2008. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great smoke. Guess I'll have to revisit these a little more often since I still have a few ..... maybe even stash another bundle away for a few years.

$39.98/bundle for torpedos on the cigarmonster right now for the next 37 minutes.
