I also love this smoke, has a great Jaltepec Maduro wrapper, it has lots of similarities w/ the San Andreas wrapper, but is sweeter due to the Costa Rican soil.
I smoked one recently that I've had for around a year and the time in the humi has done it well! I've had several of them, but none with this much time resting. Glad I have several more stashed away.
It is a smoke that improves well with rest/age. The flavors seem to meld better and smooth out very nicely. Just had one with several months on it (6+) and it was very enjoyable.
I like these a lot. An interesting experience lately, I ended up with the box-pressed instead of what I had thought I was ordering. I've always thought box-press was pretty much a gimmick, but, at least with this particular cigar, it really seemed to make it better. Smoked very slowly, which really seemed to highlight the background flavors. Who knew?
mine had about 4 months. I have another that I'm waiting another 10 weeks on or so so it should be over 6 months old and I can NOT wait :-) great cigar.
