A few years in the humidor will tame cigars... Sometimes that may be a good or a bad thing.Getting ready to fire up this La Flor Dominica “Chapter One “........ I bought these in 2016 or 2017. They were a bit harsh then, we’ll see what a few years in the humi has done for them.........

Age has definitely improved this cigar. The rough edges are gone. Full flavored nic bomb- but it’s almost too much- 2 hours and 20 minutes in and it’s still as long as my bic lighter! This is a 3 hour cigar, good but not great. First 3rd was excellent, 2nd third was mediocre, and this final 3rd is great- creamy and rich but I’m getting fatigued!A few years in the humidor will tame cigars...

I've had fresh cigars that were extremely strong - I'm talkin cold sweats and dizzy, and that usually doesn't happen with me. After a few years they were wonderful.
Cigars with a high nicotine content tend to age better in the long run.
I like em when they get down to the last 1/3rd and taste salty - like Finnish licorice - Salmiakki.Age has definitely improved this cigar. The rough edges are gone.

That’s a great way to describe this one! About two years ago I ordered a bunch of Finnish salmiaki- straight from Finland, Man, I loved it! Now I’m tasting it in this cigar LOL!!I like em when they get down to the last 1/3rd and taste salty - like Finnish licorice - Salmiakki.
Agreed- a very rich and tasty cigar, but man- 3 plus hours?? Would be a great vacation cigar!It's your concentration that focuses the tobacco experience, and there are limits to it. Certainly 3 hours is a very long smoke.
I’ve had a few Rocky Patels that did that......... pissed me off a bitTotal shit all around: CAO black

Slice it up and dry it out, mix it with a blend and shove it in a bowl...I’m tapping out- 3 hours- Longest. Cigar. Ever.
Great smoke, but damn,
Waaaayyy tooo much! (For me) could get another 20 minutes easy out of this..... ?
Craig- I like the way you think! ?Slice it up and dry it out, mix it with a blend and shove it in a bowl...
