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.
