Since I've only been smoking seriously for the past year, I just started realizing this. One of the first cigars I loved was the RP connecticut. Smooth wrapper, mild yet good flavored smoke, even burn, etc. Couldn't get enough of them but then..................I hit the slope hard. I started trying to smoke all blends, wrappers, fillers. I paired many with different drinks (like a sommelier) and after specific meals to really experience all the stogie had to offer and compliment. Anyway, I haven't had a RP connie in about 6-7 months. The other morning, I was putting together firewood racks outside and I figure I'd go with a good morning stick. I had 2 RP's left so I grabbed one.It lit great and burned well, but I could not handle the mild and one dimensional aspect of this stick nor the flavors. The cigar was so boring that I pitched it halfway through and I used to get these things down to the nub.Maybe it was the fact that it aged too long and went past it's prime. Have you had sticks that in the past you loved but didn't like them as your cigar hobby and pallette evolved?
