backbone Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Has anyone tried one of these recently? I was gifted a box and am wondering if I should age them longer before I dig in. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrengle Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I have 6 of 7 left at home. When I get back from this trip next Monday I'll crack one and let ya know. Last time I had one was a year and a half ago and it was incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Had one couple of months ago. Hated it, like all previous ones. Ditched my 5 boxes at breakeven/slight loss. IMO, no amount of time will turn these into good or even mediocre cigars. Thick, rough, dark wrappers. Until very recently, they were still available all over the place - if they were any good, they would have sold out much faster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backbone Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 You don't see much about them on the web. Well, I'll give it a go then. Thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archosaur Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I am also a fan. Smoked 3 or 4 and all have been good to great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Those had incedibly leathery wrappers, indeed) The Short Piramides had a rather nice wrapper from my experience and was/is smoking excellent. I guess, from what I've read previously, there has even been some good consensus within the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallclub Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I loved them and I would smoke them now if I had more. I don't believe they have legs for further aging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there certainly is a bit of variation, wouldn't qualify for PSP... but, hey, we are still dealing with EL-wrapper here. Tried to dig out the rest of my 2011 singles to check, but can't find them right now.... But as far as I remember, I had never been facing burn issues with them.

perkinke Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I went through two boxes last year and loved every one of them. I should find some more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oliverdst Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I had one a year ago and it was superb. Another one six months ago and it was medium. Maybe I revisit it tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
