Any advice is good advice. My palate has advanced far faster than my knowledge of the industry or of cigars. I can pick out every little nuance, but I don't know the first thing about why they're in that particular cigar. Speaking of which, I think I'm going to cap the night off with a Prensado.j0z3r:
I haven't had the experience with the Le Bijou to say how much time it needs, but I do feel it needs at least a year. That's my opinion though, I can't really say if you would agree. I will say that in general DPG cigars tend to do well with time, so you can't really go wrong aging any of his blends.Marmico:
I appreciate the suggestion, I'll have to get some more and set them aside for a good while. Its hard to imagine aging something for 2 years, since I haven't even been smoking for two years! Do you feel the same aging is needed for the Le Bijou?j0z3r:
The My Father really needs some time to shine, I'd recommend no less than 12 months, and more in the neighborhood of 24-30+ months. Recently I smoked one that had right around 2 years and it was fantastic, smooth, complex and just bursting with flavor. Your patience will be rewarded.Marmico:Had a My Father last night, had my first 5 Vegas Limitada 2010 tonight. I was a bit disappointed with the My Father, but I'm pretty sure it was just a bad stick. I was thoroughly impressed by the Limitada, I will always be keeping them in my humidor, if I can.

My first Casa Fuente Lancero. Well, my first Casa Fuente anything. As soon as I lit the cigar it cracked all the way up for about an inch and a half with the binder bulging out. After it got past that point everything was fine. I don't think it affected the flavor. I have to say that I wasn't really impressed. I have one left but will age that one for a few years probably unless I have the money and opportunity to get some more.

That's what I thought. I hope this is a regular production item for a while. If you're interested, I'll swap you a banded for and unbanded.j0z3r:
As far as I know, the banded ones are newer production, I don't know if they're making more or if they're done.Russ55:
Band. Heh. Now I'm curious about the unbanded. Are the Banded ones still in production? I could definitely see a cab purchase, or split in the future.j0z3r:
Band or no band? I'm curious about the recent banded batch.Russ55:LFD Cameroon Cabinet #1. Wonderful cigar. -
5 Vegas "A" from JudoChinX. Good stick.

Currently puffing on a SWAG, I think they did a disservice to this cigar with the name....its actually pretty solid and putting out a ton of smoke. Not really complex but good flavor to it. -
MOW Puro Authentico. This one is very oily so the burn is not the best, but the flavor is awesome...very spicy!
