Aged DPG's or Tat's

I have half a box of the Blue bands from either '04 or '05 box actually has a date stamp on it, and they are smoking fantastically right now.

I guess I am in the minority here b/c I prefer fresh DPG's and Tats to those with age. To me they lose their spicy character which is why I buy them in the first place.

I am not saying they are better, just different. I prefer fresh cigars in almost every instance. I posted the thread in order to see what others are experiencing now that these DPG and Tat's have had time to age a bit. One of the big questions that kept coming up a few years back is if these power house type cigars would age well.

Kidding me, bro? I've still got some of the old blues, blacks, JJ's, and JJ maddies in the humi. Over the last couple of weeks had one of the blues and one of the blacks and they are so much better than when I first acquired them. Smooth, sweet, flavorful, and balanced. Age does wonders for them in my opinion.

I think DPG blue came much a little bit later than 05.

This was actually a dusty find last year it was at the bottom of a stack of boxes behind another stack more or less forgotten. Only half of it left now. It had a cedar divider between the two layers but I can't seem to find it.
