Alas....Picasso my friend. Good from afar but far from good
The H&F were rolled in 2012, Jeremy, so I don't think you can draw any assumptions about recent production from them. Have a had stuff that was awesome ROTT and went downhill and never got as good again? Yes...the '07 Por Larranaga Robusto ELs are the first thing to come to mind. But is that typical or even common? Not in my experience.Hmm. That makes me wonder. Some of the stuff that's been so good fresh this last year, is there a chance that it won't be as good for long term aging as it typically would?
It was a gift, Jeremy, but I was going to inquire anyway since it was so much better than the other recent SWs I have smoked. I'll let you know if I find out.Glassman said:What's the code on the Winston Tom?

Yeah, lighter wrappers are pretty, but sticks like this make me wonder if the tendency is to put too much focus on wrapper, especially lighter ones, because that's what we can see.
Surely the quality and batches of filler play a big role. It would certainly seem to have in this case. Thing was utterly delicious from the get go, ETP 16 I think. Did start to taste a little young in the second half but still really good.
I dunno, maybe the Boli blends are just so good to me, that they're still great across a wide range of variations.
For sure! They could be a daily for me.Love the PCs just had one yesterday.
Keep those thoughts to yourself, Jeremy. There is a vendor whose entire business model is getting you to buy from a tier system based entirely upon the look of the wrappersBaaad ugly, but crazy tasty Boli PC! (much darker and rougher looking in person)

I just don't know what to think anymore...

Hahahaha! You know I suck at keeping my mouth shut... Seems like he also manages to somehow get a premium on wrappers that would generally be considered less desirable by many... Genius!
