Have followed the writting and wisdoms of this forum for awhile now. I have my tupperdor, take my cello off...or no i leave it on, I have even flunked a couple of pop quizes (never can find that #@&! car). I just ventured into the would of isom's (sweeeeeet) and have some resting as we speak, but the following has me confused, since i generally hear a year in the 'dor will do wonders.

"The long anticipated wait for the Cohiba Siglo VI is over as stocks have arrived. This has to be one of the most exciting cigars from Cuba for a very long time. Boxed in March of this year they are so supple and soft they feel as if they have just come of the rollers bench.

In case you may not have had the luxury of trying a cigar just after it is rolled, well it is as good as it gets.

Is this a model specific thing (smoke'em fresh)??? Thanks for the read and any input.

it's a different experience. As I understand, smoke it right off the bench, or age it for a year or more. Don't try it after 3 weeks for instance.

Here is my 2 cents.

The marrying of the Cubans and are well worth the wait. Longer is (Much) better with Havanas.

I have not smoked one off the bench in Cuba but I have smoked many fresh rolled Cubans in Germany.

Just last week I had the distinct pleasure of smoking a freshly rolled HdM while searching for the famous Double Corona for a good friend. I find the smoke pleasurable but lacking in the normal full complex Cuban style.

My Recommendation: Let 'em Rest!! The Longer the Better!

Regards,


B

I have a new "aging" box that accelerates the aging process of ISOM's. If you can't wait, I can get your smokes from you, place them in the "aging" box and speed up the timeframe.
Problem is smokes go in, some don't come out.

It's my understanding that Cuban cigars go through their sick period at the six to twelve month age. The problem is, you have no idea when that is. Cuban cigars are not "box coded" until they are placed in the box. So how long between rolling and boxing? It varies from factory to factory.

Personally, I've never smoked a cigar off the bench or even seen a box of cigars that was date stamped within a year of receiving them. Today it's possible to get a box with a code indicating late 02. So it's possible to recive cigars in their sick period. I just have never done it.

Once I get them, I don't have the patience to age them either. LOL.
