Same Cigars, New Boxes

When I inspected the wrapper I found that the darker tan of the previous box was overlaid with a green color.

Am I correct that aging will correct this; whether or not the green fades, will the flavor fill out for the entire cigar?

What do you mean green color?

This green color,


or this green color,


First one is mold. Do a search here and it will tell you how to deal with it.

The second one is uncured tobacco. I don't think they will go away even with aging.

Cigars will vary. A lot of factors affects the taste. Tobacco (from year to year), storage, age, weather, blend and who rolled it.

In my very little experience, storage affects how your cigar taste. If you have the luxury of aging your cigars, do that and try them again in a few months.

The green wrapper looks nothing like picture 1; the wrapper was not speckled with white, was neither mold nor plume.

Instead, the wrapper was a uniform light green blended with tan.

I just removed the cello on two other cigars, and the wrappers are not green. I'm going to smoke a few more of these cigars, and if the flavor remains diminished, whether green or no, age them. I had a long talk with customer service at Atlantic Cigar and that was their solution.

I'll check back in when I've got more data.

The color is the color, the wrapper is a Candella leaf and for me personally it taste's fantastic. I smoked the illusione 888 and the HL.
