Geat job George! Sounds like you had an awesome time and enjoyed yourself a lot.

I'm glad you got your questions answered. I'm a bit hesitant when asking cigar manufacturers if their smokes can be enjoyed out of the box. Of course most will say they are because the quicker you smoke them, the quicker you have to buy more. But its refreshing to hear that some acknowledge that greatness that comes with aging.

Great review George- especially with the humidor aging questions. Some are ready to smoke but most would do well with a few months in the humi.
