You what man, I picked up a box of these late June and the first one I tried was and I expected it to be, mediocre. I couldn't tell where the flavors where going and didn't taste potential in it. I tried another one a couple weeks ago and it was noticably better....it was "good" and I was able to see that this going somewhere. I'll give it another shot in December. But my guess is that this cigar needs to rest for 6 months -1 year. before it will be gtg. At least until acceptable to my palate.AF Don Carlos 80th Anniversario Personal Reserve Robusto
Have loved all the others of these I have had, but this one was extremely bitter and really lingered on the tongue.
Draw,burn and construction were perfect as usual, but the taste of this one was just terrible.
No idea what the cause is.
Sucks to have the first Cigar of the day be something you anticipated greatness from, only to get a serious dud

All mine had some age to them when I got them in a serious Fuente bomb.
He didn't recall when he got them, but knew he had them for a number of years.
Based on the slight yellow tint of the cellophane, I would guess at least 5 years though.
All the others have been great, just that one so far was a dud.
Hopefully the ones I have left are back up to par

Courtesy of @BloodWood. I generally have found a distaste for Sumatra, because of its syrupy sweetness, but I’m finding this really enjoyable! Maybe it’s cause I’m smoking it while eating chocolate chip cookies 
In any case, thank you!!

Another with fairly yellowed cellophane
Extremely tasty and perfect draw,burn and construction
Nice smoke for after lunch
Have been consistently good smokes so far
Have really been enjoying the Diamond Crowns other JC Newman smokes I was generously gifted.
Excellent taste and quality consistently
The maduros and Maximus have really been great
