I concur with a lot of what has been said here. Age does increadible things to LGCs. The maduros fresh from the store have always been harsh to me. Given a few years, they become one of the finest smokes out there.

I am a mega fan of LGC in general, and the Werie R is the best thing Ernie has come up with since his orginal LGC blend way back when. My favorite is the no. 4 nattie, which when laid down with some age is one of the finest smokes I have ever enjoyed. LGC ages well in general. I am down to my...
