I won a box at an event last night, and I plan on putting them in the cooler for some serious down-time!

Mind you, I've only managed to age some for about 11 months, but I'm of the opinion that they smoke very well fresh.

Then I might have to fire one up based on that advice, Josh!

Smoked on of these on Sunday while watching the football game. Too be perfectly honest, I like the regular Serie V much better. Don't know what it is...whether it was that it didn't live up to the hype of what, but it just didn't do it for me. I also found the flavors to be a bit muddled and muted.

I had the same experience. The cigar was good but didn't really wow me. I think there's some potential there so I'm gonna throw a couple in the humi for six months and see if it has any effect.

I had one last night and I'd just say they're different than the regular line. I'd describe the maduros as sweeter (which you'd expect) but also a little more subdued or refined than the regular Vs. I like them both.
