Famous Nic 3000

I have compared the X series to Original Release 3000's in each vitola. I still have some X series. I have done vertical tastings and they taste very different to me. Maybe it's aging, or different crop from different fields, who knows? But they tasted different to me. Lookwise, they are similar, but a lot of different cigars look the same.

I might be totally confused, but I always thought the OR Nic 3000 were the unbanded Oliva Masterblend I.

Nic3K's have been one of my absolute favorite smokes for a long time now. they're consistant, the construction is always top notch, not to mention they taste great!

I just bought 20 of these so here's hoping they're great.

I can reassure you, if your tastes are remotely close to mine, you will not be disappointed.
