.......When newly released
I've cut this from another thread

BTW - Can anyone name a smoke that was un-smokable for the first year but went on to be 'a bit of teriffic' (Look - no butter, no pastry, and no Sugar!).

I can remember two
Firstly the RyJ Robusto LE 2001 ...It was very unbalanced and strong with soapy characteristics these took a few years to mellow out but did improve

Also the Montecristo Edmundo (04)...Very amoniatic, my first boxes of these never improved, but later production didnt have this problem, I think the blend was change dramaticaly
Any others ....

I agree 100% with you on these Steve....always a rough, earthy flavour....eventually sold off the remainder of my box as they never came round (for me anyway)

I found the Bolivar Gold Medal's (Wolter's Release) to taste almost like dirt when they first were released. After sitting for six months they improved. Now after two years, they are a treat.

El Rey del Mundo Demi Tasse .... I bought 3 as singles and have smoked 1. Ghastly ... but highly rated and regarded ... though apparently the optimum incubation period for these is 20 years. Which kinda puts me off as I'll be in my eighties by then.

cuaba

just off the top of my head i would mention the cuaba piramides EL 2008 bought two of these when they were released and smoked the first after about a month and really did not care for it at all but smoked the second last wk with a year behind it and could not beleive the difference really enjoyed the experience and nubbed it thourghly

PARTAGAS LUSITANIAS.

I had a box laying in my coolidor for more then a year.
All of them were plugged as hell and I could bearly smoke them.
I finally gave up and throw them away.

Any cigar rolled between 1999 and 2001 are suspect imo.
Not to say there hasn't been some great cigars that came from those years,although in the minority.(again,imo)

ill have to agree with the gold medal bolivars, tasted like a kick in the mouth with a shitty boot...will leave it until next year before i venture down that lane again

I smoked my first '07 one last week and it was lovely. Maybe this is a case for putting down a box of the 09 Bole LE's?
