Great call Shlomo. Coincidentally had a great one from EME Nov 13 this morning. That puppy had rested long enough.

I smoked an H Upman  Connaisseur A,  Lub 3 /14 last Night. I grabbed a few fivers of these to check them out, probably at times when I wasn't' feeling flush enough to get a box. It hardly qualified as aged but was a fine cigar. I had to stop blowing smoke out my nose at about the halfway mark which is a sign for me that the cigar is still not quite ready for mass consumption. I've had five or six and last night's was the best by far, so they are either getting better or acclimating at last.  I tend to age boxes until they suit and then burn through them at a good pace. I find Upman's to have a straight forward tobacco taste that at it's best is rich and satisfying. I confess I don't have a sophisticated palette and am not much good at distinguishing garlic caramel and pine nut notes.  If I had a box of the Upman's I'd let them sit for the five years I always seem to need to need on my cigars. Good cigars are good, but really good cigars plus  enough time can be memorable experiences. 

BTW, I smoked '10 Siglo VI last Sunday that was in every way superior to the Conni A. Another fat cigar that I think is too fat, but it was tasty.

True, they are good from very early on (though, fresh OR had been a bit unrefined to my taste, not giving much away). Not in 'need' of much aging, but with excellent aging potential if you ask me. I don't usually age my cigars for 'improvement' but for transition and development into something else - different, but not necessarily better. I prefer my cigars matured but that surely is a matter of personal taste. There are certain folks on here, so I heard, not believing in aging cigars at all... :pig:  :wink2:

I've gone through a coupe of boxes of 13's and enjoyed them immensely. Just opened a 14 box and the couple I've had have been outstanding but I still think there is lots of upside if aged.
