I'm hanging on to the couple of VL's I have left and see how they are given a little extra resting time. Thanks Daniel, I'll keep 'em coming! Dave Hanifan, Yeah, it is weird to think that a bit of aging would be required. Truth be told, I'm not sure if it will improve them or not, but I plan to find out. (In my opinion, anything that cuts that acidic edge a little bit will be an improvement.) I did find that pairing the cigar with some coffee was a pretty enjoyable experience. In it's current state, I'd say smoking this cigar without a good beverage would be a mistake. Unless, of course, you're smoking it at a herf. Then it may be a great cigar to round out the evening: you're sure to taste this one! Thanks guys! Cigar Jack,

Sounds like some age in the humidor would benefit it for sure. Kind of weird to say that about a Limited aged cigar though heh. The tanginess is intriguing and sounds like pared with a bitter drink like coffee mated up well. Perhaps it's a cigar intended as an after dinner cigar with a sweet liquor or coffee? Or maybe they had a great opportunity to buy some tobacco next to Duracell? Great review and love the pictures as always. Dave hmm, interesting cigar.

I first tried their cigars a few years ago and was not real impressed with them. I heard they've changed their blend though and are a better smoke. I have to give Gran Habano a try again.
