nubchin Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Revisited a HdM EE from 2009 ,still enjoyable, no apparent changes in flavors nor complexity from half a year ago were detected . Do you guys age them ? Or are they not suitable for aging long ? Wanted to ask you guys opinion on these sticks .
thechenman Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 The HdM EE is one of my favorites. I've got been sampling for a 50 cab over time. It's been about two years. I'm aging them and smoking them at the same time. A great cigar young, and some subtle changes over the last two years, but nothing dramatic yet.
kevinfj Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 EE one of my favorite smokes. The size and flavor profile just make it a perfect everyday cigar. With that in mind, I tend not to age them. I haven't seen much change with age.....so I just smoke 'em. FJ
Hohenthal Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Had only a ten count cab of these, which I smoked over a period of 2 1/2 - 3 years as it is not an everyday size for me. Did not see much development (as opposed to HdM Epicure Nr. 1 for instance) - the slight changes however I found not in favour of emprovement. I am personally not a fan of double robustos, but if you are, I would tend to suggest you enjoy them when fairly young. Alex
Orion21 Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 I have smoked 20 of these cigars and would not consider them a contender for aging.
Tarks Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Considering these were a 2008 release no one really knows how they will age. I have a few cabs of 08's that are smoking pretty darn good but still need time for my liking. Will be interesting to see how they smoke in 5 years. My guess, excellent.
jedipastor Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 My experience is limited, but I thought the '09 I had a couple months ago was good. Though I think I prefer the Epi #1 with a bit of rest.
El Presidente Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 My experience is limited, but I thought the '09 I had a couple months ago was good. Though I think I prefer the Epi #1 with a bit of rest. Have had some crackers and not many dudders. I think it is a 3 year-5 year cigar. I could be wrong. Enjoying then very much and a "sleeper"
nubchin Posted November 23, 2011 Author Posted November 23, 2011 Thanks guys for your opinions Would be interesting how they would turn out in a few more years. Considering not being a power house , would start puffing the heck out in a few years
