Box of the Day

I don't come across Connie 1 with Rosado wrappers very often. MEG FEB/MAR 16.  Some of the best examples I can recall seeing. Construction is spot on. Aroma at cold intense. Will be up next week but without doubt....Box of the Day,

How doe these recent production Connie 1s compare to the ones from 2011 you had up for sale late last year?

Have enjoyed the hell out of the older ones but haven't sampled a new make yet.

Hey Prez,

quick question, if I lay these babies down for say 3 months at 65% RH, do you think that lovely wrapper will lose its oily texture?

 

cheers

I have a cab of Bolvar Corona Extra that I kept for myself. Oily when set aside. Oily 8 years on but not so much. I love the staining on the wax paper. For oils to be beneficial (oils = flavour), you want them to meld into the binder/filler over time.

Recent production is highly enjoyable. a little more intense than 11/12 as you would expect but they are going to end up much the same. Possibly a little fuller in body.

Gorgeous! I look forward to seeing these appear for purchase. Thanks for sharing.
