Well, first for nomenclature, there's the Famous lines (in thousands) and Value lines (in hundreds). They are two different kettles of fish. The Famous line is good to go IMHO. Everyone mentions 3000 and 5000 because those are the ones that have been widely tried. I've tried an number of Nicaraguan and Dominican, and I must say, I've never gotten a bad stick.

The Value Line is more hit and miss. There are some OK ones, and there are some dog rockets. So my advice would be that as long as you stick with the Famous lines, you won't find a loser. You may find some that don't wow your palate, but that's the same with any cigar.

Hope this helps.
