Even if several years old, try one of the RGP a day or two OTT. If it sucks, but it away for 3-4 months and reduce its RH- if it is moist- and it will be a 100% different cigar. Above all, smoke them SLOWWWWWW!!!

Yea same here crgcpro, at least a couple of years ago I mean. I changed to smoking more slowly, correctly in my opinion, and taste changes for every cigar. Everything is more flavorful and more importantly less harsh. I keep trying to get my buddy to slow down but he will crush a 6x60 before I'm done with a robusto..........it's a shame. Try very hard to start smoking slower and I guarantee you will benefit from it. Some of the most amazing smokes I have had are lanceros and if you smoke them fast they turn bitter and harsh fast.

Ok rant over.

I have some RG Panatelas from '03 and the are very yummy for the price. They are a slow smomke like rfen said especially with the small ring guage.

Anyone have an opinion on the Boli Petit Belicosos '09?

Only SKIM a 1/8" diameter circle of the wrapper off the head of the cigar. Light it and go from there. If it flows, the resistance will keep it from burning to hot. If there is a little ball of tobacco tucked in there, you can pick it out with your teeth- if it bothers you or might be restricting the draw. You can always cut the opening of a cigar more, but can never go back and cut it less or smaller.
