America's #1 Online Cigar Auction
first, best, biggest!

I recently won a box of LaMaximiliana's. I always try one when I receive a new cigar and these were just terrible. Do they need to be aged in order them to taste right? The same thing happened with a box of 6 samplers of LaFlor Dominican, I tried one of 'em and it was very harsh. OK, experts, let me know what I should do.
Thanks in advance.......Brent

I never have tried the La Maximiliana's but being from the "aging camp", you should put them in your humidor and see what happens over the next year.You might be lucky a find that they could really come around...or not.I hope that they do because I know how frustrating it is to buy a box and they turn out awful and your only recourse is too give them away or let them sit in your humidor taking up space.I had a box of Savoy Governors(a cigar boomer) do this for a year but it paid off because I now consider these to be amongst my best cigars(ironic considering their price).As for the La Flors the last one that I had was dry, sour and harsh(too young) so I shied away from them but many people prefer these as they are a well made cigars so maybe let these sit as well.Smoke something else in the meantime because not all cigars need this kind of treatment:)

Sometimes you need to let them stabilize after shipping. Always do your best to set them rest for 2-4 weeks after shipping before you light them up.
