Anyone else had a chance to try the la aurora cien anos? I had one when they first came out and thought they needed some extra time in the humidor. After 6 months I pulled one out today and found they were still a little young and needed more time to calm down. Anyone else run into this with this brand and figured out a good timetable on when these reach ideal smoking, they look great but I am growing impatient.
 
I've had cigars that took a year or two of aging in my own humidors to suit my palate. Be patient, if you're alive and healthy, it will be there for the smoking some day. :D
 
Hey Alex. I smoked the First of my box, which I got in October.
I thought the cigar could be a little more harmonized with it's flavors, I think some more time will help that, I still scored it fairly high. I actually picked up some old cheese tones and an almost meaty texture, it was pretty unique as far as aroma and flavor. Cant wait to explore these as they get a little older!
 
I wish they still made these....what a great smoke. Shame they'll be gone soon.
 
This was definitely one of my favorite smokes. While I agree that six months to a year would probably help, I don't think I have the will power to wait and see.
 
I have the better part of a box sitting in my humi for almost a year. Not sure if I will ever get to them. I may have to revisit one soon just to see.
 
Craig, if you want, I can keep those cigars for you.

You can just PM me for the addie.
 
Hey Craig, I wouldn't want to see you put all that burden only on Bikeman's shoulders :mrgreen: you can PM me if you want me to help take that gargantuan weight off your shoulders (or just half of it and give the other half to bikeman) LOL :thumbsup:
 
Wowsers!! 7 months later, and I still have one of these hanging around, I will have to smoke it now, and let you guys know how it went!!
