I’m just finishing up mine as I type this out. An SLR Serie A from 1999. This cigar is all that I could ask for. Peachy sweet, spice, woody, earthy and cream laden.  Can’t see anything coming close for me in the next 2 days.

What has yours been?

Had a box of 97s I sold for a pretty penny back in 2016. Wish I would have held onto them now! I always liked the A with significant age. Was not a fan of young one's

SLR Pacifico from 2009 just beat out the Sir Winston that I reviewed with Ken. 

Solid 97.

I'm now convinced that nothing ages better than a Saint Luis Rey.

Fundy-RAG Nov 17. Hadn't pulled from the box in a few years. The evolution since then has been extraordinary. A 95 pointer all day, with unique flavor profile.

I felt a weird sort of remorse, knowing that each one of these will never be replaced but we must carry on.

I'm still "resting" my first CC purchase from last month (until I finish the first part of the course I'm currently taking) so no CCs just yet. But on the plus side, I got a wineador so now my cubans are chilling, literally, at 69 (nice!) instead of 75.

But I had a melanio serie v last week which previously was pretty forgettable. I don't know if my palette is more practiced now that I have like ~40 sticks under my belt or if it was the 3 months of rest in my humidor but it was fantastic. I have 5 figurados in the mail and will buy a box when we get some Labor Day / Mothers Day sales. 

Sorry I don't have any CC intel, but I'm hoping to get my hands on some from an upcoming 24:24

I think you're right on with giving them a good 90 days rest.  Also, just like CC's, the Oliva Melanio Serie V benefit from some resting / aging.  I've got some of the Melanio Robusto's from 2016 that have mellowed and are really good smokes; some Serie V Belicoso's from 2019 that one of my smoking mates thinks is the best cigar in my humidor, so I've saved them for him; and some Lancero's from 2019 that just in the past year are starting to get some pistachio flavor mixed in with the leather.  All really good cigars with a little age.
