Review Notes: When I started business school in September 2003, I learned that one of my teammates had a box of Cohiba Esplendidos that she bought in Cuba in 2002 but she did not have a humidor. It was my idea to attempt to restore them so they could be a great smoke to celebrate our graduation 18 months later. The good news I was able to do so. I stored them in a desktop humidor and rotated them every 3 months. They generated the plume from the crystallization of the oils, which is a sign of well aging. It was a lot of fun to produce the restored cigars upon our graduation. Even though I was able to restore them, I doubt if they were in prime smoking condition. I took that in consideration when scoring this fine cigar.
