Well, a couple things could have made for the different flavors. 1) Different marca of the cigar might taste different. 2) Cigars from different years may have slightly different blends in them, hence the different tastes. 3) It may just be the difference of the age.

Yes, cigars do age and the flavors change. Usually they get a bit more mellow and muted as the flavors of the constituent tobaccos meld and lose their distinctiveness. some people like the way that happens and the flavors that develop. There are some that do not find that trait desirable with certain NCs, as those distinctive flavors are what attracted them to those cigars in the first place.

TO really see how a cigar ages, get a box and keep at tasting log as you try them throuhg the years (or months). I have done some of that, but I really don't care. As long as I like them, I am not truly interested too much in what the different nuances of flavors might be, just as long as they are good.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
