Cheap Smoke Thread

I just noticed you didn't include the Famous Nicaraguan 5000.
I personally find this selection even tastier than the 3000.
And at $46/20-pack (including shipping), it's one of the best deals out there.

I'm curious who makes the different Nic blends. You hear a lot of buzz on the 3000s and almost nothing on the others.

Would bet the mortgage that the 7000s are by Don Pepin. Read the writeup about the triple cap and "one of the most famous tabacaleras in Nicaragua."

I asked a Famous flunky if these cigars were by DPG. His reply was "I won't deny it."
Scored 2 bundles of the 7000 maduro torpedos for $26 each from cigarauctioneer when the line was introduced in November. Superb construction, emphatic tobacco flavor tinged with spice in a consistent everyday smoke. Have yet to encounter a bummer cigar. And shipping is free.
My guy at Famous said the torpedos are not available for now, so would substitute the maduro toros. Have not tried the natural cigars. Any of yinz tried them?
