As such, I put all of them on the bottom of a Tupperdor and let them sit for 4 years. Once I remembered to try one, I was rewarded with an excellent smoke. Hopefully you can be patient with those Robustos too.
I guess I got a little HNixon in me... I smoked them all pretty quick. My disappointment grew with each robusto until I cried a little over what my once-beloved blend had become. "Don Garcia ruined the blend? NOOOooooooooooooooooo" I cried, as the ashes fell into the ashtray. One after another, the robustos built their growing doubt and disappointment in me like a rancid mold, eating at my inner being.
Like that prositute in Vegas told me, "you did it all too fast! But I still have to charge you for the whole 10 minutes you took me off the street for..."
I should have aged them. Lesson learned. I should have asked the shpo dude "Matt" how long he has had the box in the shop I just smoked at, because it was delicious.
