I have an ‘18 box, just wondering if I should let them rest a while Just smoke em. I’ve had reyes that were 6 months old and reyes that were 6 years old. They were all excellent. I think each box has had ***slightly*** different character, but that it’s much more a result of different harvests than aging. In my opinion, reyes do not need age to show their potential. I think they’re excellent regardless of age. You will not ‘miss out’ by smoking them young. As long as they’ve had ~60 days to acclimate to your humi, I say smoke em now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was good but could tell it needed the full 60 days. Thanks for you input! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JohnS Posted January 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2019 H. Upmann Connossieur A (2018 Xmas Sampler Series) The first cigar I've sampled from the 2018 Xmas Sampler and of course I'm going to start off with one of the most reputable. Well, it did not let me down! Quality shortbread, almond nut and light coffee all the way. The only surprise here was that the body of this H.Upmann Connossieur A was slightly stronger than what I'm used to, and more so on the palate then through the nose. But it didn't alter how much I enjoyed it at all. Juan López Selección No.2 (2018 Xmas Sampler Series) The second cigar I've sampled from the 2018 Xmas Sampler and this was light on orange citrus and chocolate and more heavy on toasted tobacco and coffee. Also, much more intense than would I would like, I couldn't retrohale this in comfort, for example. In regards to strength, it was medium to medium-full but the flavours in general were okay, I'd have love this to be more refined but it's a bit much to ask for a cigar less than 12 months old like this one. Ramón Allones Specially Selected (2018 Xmas Sampler Series) This was the third cigar I sampled from the 2018 Xmas Sampler series and it was exactly how El Pres described it in his recent 24:24 write-ups. All raisin, coffee and tobacco and did I mention intense? Yes, very intense. If I compared the likes of some Ramon Allones Superiores or Ramon Allones Gigantes I've had in the past year then I'd say that this Specially Selected Robusto was at least twice as potent in body and strength. For my preference I'd need a minimum of 5 years rest to get this cigar at my desired point prior to smoking. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then give everything else a good 60 days. I find reyes to be pretty bulletproof. I’m hard pressed to recall one that didn’t satisfy. Trinidads have a nice distinctive character. To me, that justifies the extra price point above my other favorite in the size range - principe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
