Just had my second one tonight and it was fantastic. I found it to be full bodied. I tasted mint in both sticks and found it pretty complex. I normally don't care for a full bodied smoke but it was fantastic.

I loved it so much that I went to Famous to look into buying a bundle. The website says the bundles are no longer available. Anyone know why???

I know they have 5 packs but I was more interested in the bundle...free shipping on the bundle.

Is this permanent or have they done this before until they replenish their stock?

Thanks fellas

They'll come around again.

I agree they are pretty good for a bundle smoke. After about a year I get a lot of coco and coffee notes out of 'em.

That's good news. :-)

I'll have to see what these things are all about one day.
Keep us posted.

Touch of mint.....sounds interesting. Famous Nic 3000 is the stick name?
[Reply]

These are really good cheap cigars . Worth every penny and they always seem to come back in stock . Get some if you haven't yet !

I've heard great things about aged Famous Nic 3000s...if anyone is willing to sell a 5 pack, please PM me!

Have had the Nic's 1000 but not the 3000's will pull trigger on them soon

In stock this morning so maybe they were just updating the site?

I just went to the Famous Site and some Bundles are available toros and torpedos, some of the singles aren't though. Unless you are talking about something else (robustos),

As a bundle smoker, I've had a lot of experience with "cheaper" sticks. The Famous Nic 3000 is probably one of...if not, the....best bundle stick out there. Or at least they used to be, I haven't had one in about a year. I had to stop getting them...I loved them so much I smoked too many and my tongue felt like it was suing for separate maintenance. :-)

Just pulled the trigger on a 5ver of the toros.

After only 3 months rest their complexity really comes out as well. What also is strange is how well they are constructed.

I love them and I'll be picking up a couple bundles once my vino comes in.

The original release of the N3K was unfrigginbelievable - hopefully they are staying somewhat close to the original blend.....
[Reply]

The OR Famous Nic 3000's are one of my top 5 sticks of all time. The new ones are about 90% close to what the old ones were. They are still very good. I usually prefer fresh sticks, but if you can wait around 6 months at a higher RH, these become really chocolaty and smooth.

i remember them! great value stick! didn't know they're back out....
[Reply]

Yeah sorry. I have only had the robustos so I was sticking with them.

Are the Torpedos pretty much identical in flavor profile?
[Reply]

This line has VERY good blend consistency and continuity, throughout all the sizes.

Quite possibly my favorite NC, and ranks right up there with my favorite CCs.

:-)

I fully agree with borndead. I find because of the box press I get a better burn with the Torp's, but that may just be in my mind. Can't really go wrong with any of the sizes.

I think they are good, but quite harsh when young. If you let them sit for a year, they become a really great cheap smoke. When available, I highly recommend getting a few bundles and letting them sit.
