Popular Post KnightsAnole Posted July 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2019 Mag 48 - hated when I first got them, forgotten in a corner of the cabinet for years. Now quite a nice smoke. should have been 2” longer tho. JLPC 14, seems I smoke one of these about every 4 months and they never get any better. Love the Marca, love the size, but this cigar is no bueno. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It put off a great aroma but the flavors were muted and singular. Chalk it up to youth? I’m very new to CCs but I’ve now tried Mag 54, Mag 46, No 2 and Connie A and so far Upmann just does nothing for me. They are all young Upmanns so maybe I need to leave them alone for some time? I just don’t get any flavor profile as others have described. Is it possible my palate just doesn’t taste the flavors of an entire marca? Should I leave them to rest for a considerable amount of time? Dry box longer? Store lower/higher humidity? Appreciate the feedback or any similar experiences with Upmann or an entire marca. Thanks, vets! That’s interesting, I’m crushing a box of clearance 2018 mag46’s, they’re smoking brilliantly already. I’d definitely just let them rest longer, could be a different factory and different leaf. I keep mine at 65%, what are you keeping yours at?

Popular Post steelcity Posted July 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2019 Breaking in the new Rec Tec with 3 racks and some Mexican corn later. Passing the time with a Cuaba Distinguidos. First one out of a PSP box that's been sitting for a bit now. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are currently at 65% but I’m lowering gradually to 62% over next several weeks. I bought 1/4 box psp mag 46s and yesterday was the first of the 6. I’ll bring the RH down and wait a few months before trying another. They look absolutely perfect so it was disappointing. Glad to know it’s not just 3-5 years that can smoke well. Thanks, Kaptain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, vets! I felt the same way about Upmann, tried most all you mention (all young) and they were just ho hum. Then I tried a HUHC with nearly 4 years on it, and I thought wow that's good. So I acquired a few Connie 1 with three years on them, and yep, they were spectacular. So I ordered a cab and put it away. And now that I "get" the profile, I've had a couple young Connie 1 and enjoy them more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post THEMISCHMAN Posted July 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2019 On the way out of Miami we hit up an airboat tour of the Glades. Good times. 14 898 for the drive across Florida through the Everglades. Hurricane Barry prevented us from going to New Orleans so we went to Lake Charles instead and hit the casino. Spent Thursday in Houston. Sancho Panza courtesy of @inter4alia. Great smoke. 21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some Connie 1s at 2 years just received so letting them rest a few weeks before sampling. I’m all for being patient with a marca if it will deliver down the road. I’ll find some aged ones and get a taste of the potential. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted July 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2019 Sancho Panza Non Plus ABR Sep 2011 Of all the aged Sancho Non Plus I've smoked from this 2011 box, this has probably been the most interesting. Why? simply because there was practically no floral element or creaminess to this smoke! Instead, I got a deep wood and tobacco flavour married with a saltiness on the palate and this stayed constant throughout. It was much like a youthful SP Non Plus, only they tend to be more 'toasty'. Still, some nice flavours were to be had on this one. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here and it could, you’re right. 5+years on tho and I get no sense it’s going anywhere. It tastes like all Ligero and volado -unbalanced.
