I can see why they didn’t age them longer. But, I agree. More age is usually better.

Big ash to complement a big watch (which looks good on you!).

The more aged the more chocolatey they get, so depends on your taste. The last couple of young ones I've had were more brown sugar desert-like sweet.

Oh, that sounds good! I’ll look forward to the change in flavor.

Beautiful fall day on the course. The Bijou was the cigar highlight of the day. Shot 76

Looks a fantastic day for November. What I've found is that if a smoke gives me a bit of construction trouble then with me having to keep fixing it and looking after it, it actually helps to keep me active and warm, so not a bad thing when it gets chilly.

Very solid Monte Supremos. Draw was a bit tight but once it opened up it smoked really well and produced a strong if untidy ash. Flavours were spicy to start with becoming more sweet and chocolatey in the second half.

Have not tried it so cannot compare. This one had a decent draw, great burn, with chocolate and nutty notes. Some pepper action which built and was stronger at the end. Very enjoyable. Plus that was a solid round of 76!

Sounds good Mark, cheers, had an ES recently that was lovely and rather savoury, will be ordering a few LLTKs, can't get the King is Dead over here sadly.
