When you have a good storage condition, any cigar will perform at its best. It's easy to blame packaging, when sometimes probably the main issue is only the humidor and how the condition is preserved. Or another possibility is that particular cigar is just bad, period. I have smoked many cigars from cardboard, stored for few years inside the original packaging (at that time I didn't know that it would be better to remove them to a humidor), and they tasted brilliant.
