I sort of got into trying to figure this out for myself with Hoyo DC's and Party D4's. As an example take the Hoyo. After a certain year (cannot remember 2001 or 2003 maybe, not sure anymore) they stopped making them exclusively in one particular factory. After that year the production was de-centralized and they become MUCH more variable. Also simply age can make them so much better. The D4 new can be okay to good. With a few years on a good one it can become utterly great. I smoked a D1 from 2004 last night, not a power house but yummy cake-like flavors. When they first came out I liked them but nothing stunning. Now, god they are so damn good.
"In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock!"

Chomped another of these all over le Touquet today on a day trip to decent France. A good little Havana store there and it's a joy to hold one, to fill up on fish soup, to light one up and to trump around town like an English-Cuban cloudbursting Seigneur.
I'd have a ceaseless supply of these on Desert Island Discs if they allow filthy tobacco products through. I do think they are my all-time Robusto favourites.
