They do,
right out of the gate, they are very flavorful. I smoked through a UPE FEB 13 box, over Christmas holidays, with the help of a couple of nephews, and each one was burning finger tips when they were laid down. I will have to get some more, to put down for a long nap. I have found, when I enjoy a cigar that much, that young, I need to buy 3 or more boxes, to be able to get any with some with age.
My last buying binge, has been petite coronas, and minutos, which I haven't tried, with the exception od the H. Upmann Corona Major, and the Partagas Corona seniors. The sticks I like, I will buying at least 3 more boxesf, 2 of which will not be touched for a minimum of 4 years. This is my formula, for ending up with aged stock. Which is why most of the habanos I am currently smoking, are from 2007 or 2008.
I just started doing an inventory, on a cuban cigar website, and have found some nice suprises, during my inventory. I found several 2004 RyJ Exhibition #4, some SCdH LaPunta, from 2002. Some Punch SS#1, from 2002, and half a box of Partagas Churchill DeLuxe, from 2002. I still have 2 large coolerdors to go through, to complete my inventory. So no telling what other goodies I will find.
