I just finished a cigar that's been resting in the humidor for almost a year. Not to let the cat out of the bag, but it is one of the popular cheapy ones here.

I couldn't believe how outstanding these things get with some good humidor time. Smoked for about 1:45 burned my fingers. I put out the nub and was temped to put it into my pipe and finish it off. I have to admit...these things will stand up to the best of the best.

You have to perdomo me if I was fresh. But when I finished my cigar I rolled in here to wheel out a commentary.

The devil made me do it...honestly.

Refer to old post where just about everyone said they were terrible, ya just terrrible, I think you got lucky, they must have put some real tobacco in yours. No one should buy these, yuk.

Just when the price of these were starting to come down. Doh!!!

Hi Rayder! I am, I think like Yourself, a big fan of the "hidden treasures" You can find on CBids' lower priced less known cigars. It's not the label or the magazine rating. It's how much YOU enjoy it. :)

It is amusing to think that maybe someone bought a five pack, or better yet, a box of Edgars because they read here how bad they sucked. 'Cause they really do suck! I mean, I don't think even RICK could smoke them.

I got a wheel of the toro's last week. I'm putting them down for the loooong nap. I had one ott and it was a little harsh. But that's to be expected I guess. After a year or so, they should mellow out ;-)

I haven't got ANYTHING that has had a "nap" that long. I guess I could start now and resurrect this post a year from now, just to chime in. My oldest won't be a year old until next April, and those are Green Hero's from my Drew Estate days.

Gotta love being new. A whole new world to explore.

Dan

Dan, I'm sure others will agree, it makes all the difference in the world. Many cigars are good OTT. But I personally have some now that have been in the humi for 2-3 years. It does make a difference, definitely. Now mind you, I don't believe you can age flavor into bad cigars. But many many cigars are just so much better after 1, 2, or 3 years. It's amazing. That's why so many folks here have those damn big coolers! :-)
However, if you buy a good aged cigar, of course, it's ready to smoke or share.
