Famous Nic 3000 Maker?

[sacmore21]

I was curious who actually makes the Famous 3000 cigar? Actually, I would be interested to know who makes each of their lines. Normally, for places like Holt's, it seems that people know who produced the cigar. For a cigar that's so talked about, I figured somebody knows who makes them. I tried the search function, but was unsuccessful. I'm hoping to eventually try these, after all of the talk. I've just never gotten around to them. Although, I guess that's the same story for the Tampa Sweethearts, TNT Alternative to PAMs, etc

That's a Fuente product. Can't help you with the rest of them.

Famous bought them from Oliva....so I guess Oliva still does.

The original issue were thought to be the unbanded Oliva X line that Oliva agreed to stop selling to settle a lawsuit by Fuente over the use of "X", which Fuente claimed was trademarked for the Opus Line.

I do not know if they are still made by the same company as the originals, though I find the newer versions to be as good as the originals, once they have 6 months or so of aging.

Interesting. Do you know what date the originals where around? I have a old bundle no clue which one it is.
