Good day all, I just bought a box of saint luis ray regios from my local LCDH. had an earlier box from 2011 and loved em so didnt hesitate picking this box up although the dress box was a bit worse for ware, the sticks inside seemed great. When i was picking them up i had a bit of a blocked nose so couldn't smell them but they looked great and had some age so i thought it was a no brainer and made the purchase. After bringing them home my sinuses seem to have cleared up and there is a very faint aroma on these sticks(if it was there to begin with). Dont have any other old boxes to bench mark them with only have boli RC and a box of RASS which smell to high heaven. have i got a dud box or is it normal for these sticks to lose their aroma. also assuming i got them from the walk in humi at LCDH they should have been stored properly. What should i do to revive them? Another small observation is that around the gold bits of the bands there seems to be some tiny green marks, which im assuming is oxidization of some sort of the paint on the bands.
