mrmessy Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Good cigars, but they are quite moist and "oil"-laden when fresh. This is very rich and hygroscopic tobacco (not familiar with the current batches, but I suppose this remains to be the case - assuming this is new production?). These are truly made for long-term aging, and they will profit a lot from it. So, either just let them sit untouched for 5-plus (plus...) years - or, when wanting to sample now, get cigars to smoke out of the jar a bit in advance. Let them rest open in your humidor for acclimatization, or perhaps even dry-box for at least one, two weeks. Otherwise it will be a rather acrid experience. And smoke them slowly.5 years then! Thanks for the advice. I may dry box one in a couple months though. To be continued....Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
