I had guessed that these wouldn't stand up to aging before I read the review. Most multiple-country blends don't, in my experience.
With the exception of very few high-end cigars, and most Oliva products, my personal impression is that a high percentage of nc's age poorly.
I suppose "poorly" is subjective. I want a cigar to hold it's strength and nuance over time, but simply lose it's wet, ammonia, barnyard feel.
Even Padron Anni's suffer after more than a few years in my estimation, losing a lot of strength while retaining character. Anejo's seem to stand up real well on all points.
