That is a fallacy about Habanas - there are some smokes which are DELICIOUS right out of the factory and don't need the years and years of age.... Try a fresh made Upmann Mag 46 - awesome --- or a VR Farmie -OUTSTANDING.... I don't know how these SCDLH Mercaders' are - but they smell FANTASTIC and ready to go right now !!!!!!!!!!
My rule on Habanas is WITHIN6 months of their box date ---or AFTER 1 year of their date code... This plan has served me well and I have not experienced many sticks when they were in their 'sick period' or during their 'flat phase.'
