So far I have found the Sumatra better than the Broadleaf. But as far as ready to smoke? Yeah, I think they are.

I've only had the Broadleaf, and IMO its good. Will it get better with age, probably, but you won't be disappointed if you light it up now.

I'd wait awhile longer. Temptation is your greatest hurdle, but the end result will be a fantastic smoke.

I had the Sumatra last week, it could have used some more time in my humi. It was still delicious, but my next batch will wait.

The Broadleafs are fantastic! They are definitely good to smoke now. The Sumatra are good but does not touch the broadleaf.

In general I like to rest my Tats for a year. But I've been enjoying the Sumatra now. It's a stonger smoke, though (to me it's the strongest of the Cojonu line), so if you find it too peppery just let 'em rest.

Smoked a good number of both the broadleaf and Sumatra and they are both good to go. Great smokes, and hopefully get better with a little age.

I've smoked thru 2 boxes of them. Definitely ready if you remove from packaging and place in a cedar humi for 2 weeks to rest.

I smoked one of each when I got mine. They weren't bad, but not as good as they will be. Put the rest away for 6 months at least before revisiting. Can't wait to see what they're going to be like in a year and further...anyone have a time machine for rent? If you have more than one just fire one up and see how you like it and then you can see how they are down the road.

I have a box. I also got the 3 pack. I smoked the broadleaf on st. Paddys day, it sucked. I gave a sumatra to my father on our recent fishing trip. He smoked it till there was about 2 inches left, he then kissed it and threw it in the fire. When I asked him if he just kissed it, he said "Damn right I did, that was good and I probably wont have one again for a long time". I said "right you are".
