Aardwolf Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Can't speak to the exact codes you have for 08 but I can say I've got a box of #4's BLP Feb 08, and 2 out of 3 has been too tight (one was smokeable, the other had no chance and went straight back into the box). The one well constructed example was splendid though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think they would still be oily after 6-8 years? I find that young cigars are sometimes oily, but after a few years at 65-68% RH the oils tend to crystalize and the wrappers have a leathery sheen as opposed to being oily. It could be just me I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethosan Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Thank you guys for all your input I'm thinking maybe I'll just get a new box and hope that I get something 14 or 15. after doing more research I find there's a lot of problems cigars in 08 and 07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great cigars as well If you can't pick your aged box personally or you don't have a private seller/vendor whom will give you personal service in description/selection, then in cigars such as the Monte 4 where there is always plenty of rubbish, get a great recent production box. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
