Is it just me

SmokinCozy · 05-04-2009, 09:51 AM

I am finding that I like a lot of cigars ROTT. When a box arrives, I can't help it and need to give it a go right away and I'm usually very happy with the out come. When going back to them after a few months, it just isn't the same. Now there are a lot of sticks that I would rather have aged but I'm lovin' most of these ROTT

I couldn't wait when I received my 08 Boli Gigantes and I was pretty happy.

I like to smoke one right out of the mailbox usually. sort of tradition for me, but lately I find they taste a little better after a few weeks.

I think it depends a lot on the vendor too. If they arrive dry that's great! but lately it seems like everything I get in the mail is sopping wet.

i usually wait a couple weeks...but it so tempting all the time

When I get something new I usually try one as soon as I get em...

i have very little will power when i get mail. i tried a punch right out of the box, the same one from the same place that you sent me. and i had the same problem, two weeks later they're fine. i'll get tired of the new stuff and forget about it.

I haven't liked mine ROTT and usually let them rest for a month or so.

I smoke it at the mail box before I even get a chance to walk down the drive way! I have no will power what so ever! however to solve the problem,just buy aged boxes they are ready to go when they arrived and a xikar will take care of the wetness!

Big Maduro · 01-29-2012, 03:15 PM

I will smoke one right away. I've never had a bad one. They do get better after a couple of weeks.

colinb913 · 01-29-2012, 03:55 PM

I generally try one ROTT to see it progress as it ages.

A lot of the cigars I have bought the last couple of years have been wonderful ROTT. Some stay wonderful, and some take a step backwards and go to the back of the humi for a nap.

I have had a few that I wish I would have keep smoking ROTT. they never quite tasted as good again.

CigarSquid · 01-29-2012, 07:15 PM

Mine normally sit for at least a week. I don't think I ever tried one ROTT.

kuzi16 · 01-29-2012, 07:45 PM

taste is more than just what your senses perceive.
if you are very excited to get that box in, when you do your mind is in a very good place. you smoke one of em in that good place and there you go... good cigar. a few months later you grab another one and the thrill oif opening the box has worn off... its only ok in comparison.

... its a theory anyway.

Crownedone · 01-29-2012, 07:52 PM

I always try something ROTT but unfortunately recently the smokes have been coming in over humidified so they end up in the humi for as much time as needed.

01-30-2012, 11:27 AM

I don't buy that much through the mail, but rather it's from the mailbox or the B&M I'm smoking them when I get them. If it's a cigar I really like it is very hard to keep any to age!

Blak Smyth · 01-30-2012, 11:30 AM

I try to let mine rest and adjust to my humi settings. I have had many ROTT that had serious burn issues. I have had a few that where just fine though, I think it is hit or miss.

Doctorossi · 01-30-2012, 12:10 PM

I honestly can't think of the last time I smoked something within 6 months of putting it in the humi.

01-31-2012, 10:57 AM

I just wanna add that buying though the mail is great but also support your local B&M, we need the buisness now more than ever.
