His name is Willy Alvero. Mr. Alvero is one of the world's foremost experts on Cuban cigars; he was the Habanos S.A. general representative in Moscow, Russia. I would say he has more cigar experience than the vast majority of the members at
CigarAsylum. I can't figure out what is so controversial about claiming that the environment a cigar is aged in can have a subtle impact on flavor? Seems reasonable to me.
