Had my first Havana VI Almirante last night in about 4 months. Wow. I knew these things age well, but didn't realize the change that quickly. When I first got a box, the wrapper was dark and oily. So oily that the tissue wrapping the cigars inside the box had oil spots.
I've smoked a couple out of the box, and they were dark and strong. The one I had last night showed a noticeably lighter wrapper (lighter, not light), not nearly as oily, and the flavors had already become a little mellower and more complex.
Never seen a cigar make such a change in such a short time. I figured they'd be really good in 1-2 years. Damned things are great now.
