Im with you on the famous.

The flor de olivia's are decent cigars, i just dont think they deliver the same amount of flavor as the famous brand.

Re: Flor De Olivas or Famous 3000???

Never had the Famous 3000, but I used to smoke a lot of FDO Bundles. They're a very good cigar for the money. However, after buying several bundles in the past, I find myself always choosing something else now days. I still have a handful in my humi (natural torpedos), which have been resting for about a year and a half, but I have a feeling they will just continue to rest there because of my turn towards premium smokes and Habanos. By the way, if you want to try some before buying a bundle, perhaps we could work out a trade.

Re: Flor De Olivas or Famous 3000???

i have a case of each in my humidor

The Flor De Oliva 5 X 50 Maduro is what i get there smaller and nice for the 30-45min smoke very tastly

then there is
Famous Nicaraguan 3000 Robusto Natural there are nice too and smoke them when i have a little more time on my hands.

These are both realy tasty cigars and would not beable to chouse between them the oliva you get 5 more sticks but still a hard call

but for the price around $35 a case each
Just get a case of each

Re: Flor De Olivas or Famous 3000???

There is no question from me of which one to buy:

The Flor De Oliva's Maduro or Corojos. Their corojo is the best I have ever smoked, I love'em!

Re: Flor De Olivas or Famous 3000???

It is a tough decision, but I would go for the Famous nic 3000's. FOr the price, they are one of the best cigars I have ever tasted.

Re: Flor De Olivas or Famous 3000???

For the price, the FDO Natural (original) or Corojo Torpedo is my call. I love this smoke. I use them for my "yard-gar". They taste great and if you damage it or need to lay it down in the grass and you step on it, it's not a huge loss - just go get another.

Re: Flor De Olivas or Famous 3000???

This thread just made me place an order for a bundle - I was down to 2. Got the bundle of 25 for $28 (including shipping) - can't beat it.

It goes to show ya. You don't have to pay a fortune for a cigar for it to make you happy. There are plenty of really good smokes out there for great prices is you just look hard enough and I like this one so well it was upsetting me that I was almost out.
