Areyousmoking,

Also check out The Educated Cigar (www.educatedcigar.com). They are not the cheapest, but they have inventory of Opus X, Padron Anniv's, and VSG's.

In my opinion, the Padrons are best smoked early. I aged a box of 3000 M's for a year. They tasted worse, to me, compared to the first 3 months. The Anniv's have 4 years of age already and as you said are very smooth.

The only reason I age PAMs is because I smoke them too infrequently. LOL The price and availability cause me to go through the box more slowly than normal.
