[SIZE=3]Had not had one of these in quite awhile, so pulled one out to try. Unfortunately, with age (about 1 1/2 years), this cigar lost the woody / nutty flavor I enjoyed and became peppery and a bit sharp. This is unfortunate because this was one of my favorite smokes. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]This is still a very nice looking cigar with a nice draw, burn and good smoke volume. The flavor pretty much stayed the same all the way through. Toward the end some of the nice flavors started to come in, but it was too late. Have to give this a 5 on a scale of 10.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]This is a full bodied cigar and one would think with aging it would become a bit milder and the nice flavors would come out. Guess this is not a good candidate for aging![/SIZE]

I'd have to agree, I have about 5 left over from a box. These don't age well IMHO.

More proof that aging is not always a good thing. If I don't like something within a week or so of bringing it home, I don't buy it again.

Wow, I hope not. I've got about a dozen growing old as I type. Guess I'd better smoke um up!

Yeah, aged nc cigars don't seem to have a better taste ........IMHO.
