Another delivery today.

Will let these sleep nicely wrapped in their foil for a couple years.

Some singles.

Going a little deeper on these as the first box from this specific factory code has been simply phenomenal.

Strike while the iron is hot, as they say.

Thank you FOH! First purchase in about 8 months! Loved the JL No. 2 so much so I decided to give these a go!

Very nice. Better than the 2 in my opinion. I hope you enjoy them.

The Diplomaticos rested for a few months and have been great smokes. The Vigia has been a excellent smoke as well.

I'm with @Chibearsv on the JL1's. Mine are better than my JL2's.

Yes. I have a number of boxes that I've been resting for some time that I have been opening of late. A number of cigars have more potency and body than what one would think for a Habanos cigar in the seven-to-ten year range. The Por Larranaga Montecarlos was one of those. I'd have to have another to compare some time soon.

Yeah I have some 2020's that still have a pretty good punch to them.

I got a box with the exact same codes, the 5 I smoked have been awesome. You are in for a treat.

I’m looking forward to trying these but will wait at least a few months. How long was that JL1 aged for?

I think it had 8 or 10 years.
