very interesting. Thank for sharing that post. 

You're very welcome. My personal choice is waiting 60-90 days wherever possible. That way when I smoke, I can weigh the experience of the smoke based on its environmental factors as I intend them to be, and not have to wonder if some of the experience of the cigar is being impacted by stress from conditions during transit. As someone that is new to the world of Habanos, this allows me to, in my opinion, gauge the experience with less doubt.

RAT OCT 20 Siglo VI from 24:24 clearance.

One broken foot. Was going to sacrifice one to the ROTT gods anyways, guess this one is it.

They're like women, always get the rough ones out of the way first! Lol

 Great way to start the week! From the recent 24:24 here. They’re perfect. Thanks, FOH! 🇨🇺💨

Last box of my QdO Coronas purchasing purge. These have the lightest wrappers, just like my ‘18 box, so this box will be next in the firing line!

How are these to sample ROTT, once rested at 62% for a week or two?  I know they are very young.

it's not ROTT if it has rested for a more than 24h 😂

on a more serious note, in my personal experience, all arrivals from FOH smoke pretty well in the first 2 days. after that, they go to sleep and the flavour becomes bland for a couple of weeks before waking up again

Some boxes from a recent 24:24.

Thanks, FoH.

It's not so much that the cigars are young, they have jet lag. I have more experience with boxes than tubes but the 30 day rule is a rule for a reason. The cigars have been in a commercial air cargo hold for a long flight at least twice, and probably a few more times than that depending on the source, in their short lives. It's a lousy environment for cigars and giving them a chance for a full recovery can make all the difference. If ya gotta smoke one soon take it out of the tube and put it in your humidor until Memorial Day. Smoke something less dear than those Cohibas in the meantime. I don't think you'll regret it. My $.02

Located a box of Partagás Maduro #1

TPO OCT 18

Wow, They smell great!

I’ll take a few out and place in the 62% humi for a few months and give one a try.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll do just that. 👍

Behold Sir Winston. MTS DIC 20. Gorgeous looking wrappers, nice construction, and wonderful aroma. I’m excited to watch this box age. Thanks FOH. 

[Mickey D]

Gorgeous ^^^^

Latest call, The Punch will rest in the box out of the tubes. The Montes are staying in theirs sleeves. My humidors are at full capacity.

I went unicorn hunting and got the 🦄

On a completely unrelated note my family is threatening to take me to 24:24 rehab. I have no idea why........

 The wrappers on the belicosos are DARK!!!!

Two of the labels came unglued in transit. I moved those out of the box.

Intervention time for @Kaptain Karl! Just tell them you plan on stopping when the money runs out. 😉

I know, now really a cigar but a cigarillo. Oct 18

Anyone ever try one of these machine made shorts?? 10-15 minute smoke with definite flavors of raisins on exhale and retrohale. 

Really a small treat!

Sig IV LTO DIC 20 from our host.

[Lomey]

Stocked up on a couple favorites. I'm very happy with the codes. The BPC smelled great right out of the box.

Usually don't buy boxes of 10 everyday type smokes but glad I did in this case. I've had previous good luck with UEB MF's and I got a nice spread of wrapper shades.
