Famous "Oval" Nicaraguan 3000 Robusto ???

[WBill]

I recently received a bundle of Famous Nicaraguan 3000 Robustos and the ones I got looked like they were squared pressed, but from only two sides. These are the most oval shaped cigars I have ever seen. Are they suppose to look like this, I don't know since these are my first ones.

Tried the first one the next morning after receiving them and I wasn't too impressed with the taste, hope they will get better after a while in the humodor.

That is indeed how they all look, like the old X boomers.

I love the way that they are shaped. The fit perfectly in my hand. These have become one of my favorite cigars. If you find that these aren’t your thing, I'll buy them from you anytime you want.

I've only had 2 and they're one of the few unbanded cigars that I can name in an instant . Best cheapy I've had yet .

when asked what non-cuban cigars i'd buy if i had to buy only non-cubans for the rest of my days... those would be one of them. very good cigars, i've only had 2 and they made that good of an impression.

for another "odd" shaped cigar, find some older Trilogy Authentic Corojo's. another overlooked cigar. sometimes burns funny due to be triangular, but kick ass cigars (so are their maduros - the camaroons suck ass, like all camaroons do).
