Cigars that you regret smoking young

[LeafLover]

What cigars do you regret smoking young? I mean, the cigars you tried and tried and hoped to reach cigar nirvana but it just didn't happen. You forgot about them and lo and behold, months or years later you hit them again and you said "WOW!!" But sadly, you smoked through so many of them that you have very little left of them to enjoy.

What cigar was it, and at what moment in it's box age did the magic happen?

For me:

Montecristo Especial #2- four years from box code date

Cain Lancero - 3 years after I received them (born date unknown- NC of course)

Trinidad Ingenios.

I'm curious. How do you think they smoke today?

I think the last time I had one was a year and a half ago in the balmy summer. My lord did it not want to burn or give me some good flavours. I just tossed it in with the regalos and escudos (those of which I've had multiple) in calling the whole 2007 LE year unpalatable. What a shame as they are all excellent cigar sizes...

The first Monte 2s I ever got

chewed through 20 out of the box in just over a month before laying the rest down when new stock came in.

2 years later I found them buried in the bottom of the humi and they were wonderful

How long did that cigar take?

Six years. They started to be good in 2013 (it's a 2007 release).

VR Familiar. Feb '11 Mediocre at best, fresh. Came to life after about 3+ years. But by then the box is almost gone. Fortunately I have another one buried.

Same story with Monte #4.
