To test the theory you have to repeat the buying of new ones and smoke em without all that age and see if you have a different opinion from what your first impression was.
My palate has been pretty good since probably 2014 or so, well before this situation.
Also, your suggestion, although good, has a wrinkle in that the new Sanctums you're talking about me buying ( heh heh..) will not be the same as the ones I bought.
They may not improve with a long nap.
They may be great ROTT.
They might, like the ones I bought, improve a lot in a few years.
It's a cigar...............they're constantly changing.
By the way.
I still have only smoked one with the extended rest.
Who knows, the remaining 5 might suq!
Ha!
I'll report back once I smoke a second one.
