kiwicrusaders Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I've never had one and from what I've heard they need at least 5 years. I'm interested in how recent box codes are smoking, right now can anyone share? Also what would be the minimum amount of time you would leave one in your humidor for to have a taste... Appreciate it wouldn't be at is best... But curious to know when you might get an inkling on how good they could be? I've also heard that they are discontinuing the box of 10s ... Is this true?

Blakes Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I got a 10 box in January which had a '12 box date... and I smoked them within a couple of months, really nice. Would they have benefited with more time, of course but they were smoking so good. I actually purchased a aged 898 single from '99 that I smoked today with a friend.. it really was amazing, and now i'm certainly after a nice box to age myself. So like Shlomo said try them and see, you may find you like them from the get go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInSmoak Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 My response will be of no help to you. I currently have a 2011 box resting in my humidor. I have yet to smoke one. Probably wont for another couple years based on what I've heard. I remember Rob saying that current production as a whole has been dismal. You hardly ever see them on LFTW/LFTH, and when you do they are gone in seconds. If you find a good box, I'd snag it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigcars Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I've never, never, never had a bad one. I do prefer the Varnished box selection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikesupremedunk Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Mine from a year ago with '11 box date is smoking great. I'm in dire need of another box... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laficion Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Mine are smoking GREAT now !!!!!!!! .And they are from 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradNC Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I have a psp box from 09 and it is smoking great. Granted it is a stronger cigar (for me) so I don't have them often but when the mood is right, it is hard to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markmurase Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I agree with Guy (laficion) I have a HQ box code LEM JUN 11, purchased June last year. They have been very good from the beginning. A consistent, most enjoyable cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLC Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I have a 2012 box I bought at Partagas in Hanava last fall. Will probably start enjoying them slowly next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptowncigar Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I have a box from 12. Only smoked a few. Two where decent, one was all cedar. Will let them sleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptrthgr8 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I've got a couple of HQ boxes of 898v with the RUE MAY 11 code. One box has been untouched, the other is about half gone at this point. Awesome smokes. I've also never had a bad 898v.
