10 years ago or so, they were good ROTT, and really good after a year, and excellent after a long nap.
5 years ago, imho, they needed 6 months to get to where I like them, but as will all DPG stuff, really shined after a year or three.
I’m still buying, but will not touch them for at least 18 months........probably more like 2 years.
I think it’s just a demand thing, and My Father is trying to keep up, maybe pushing out some tobacco a bit ahead of its time.
