Keep in mind that yello cello is not always good...
One thing a neglected cigar will do before it dries out is release the oils in the wrapper.
If they dried out in his garage, the cello could possibly be yellow owing to the neglect.
All that said, those are some of the best smoking cigars of the past 20 years. The Henry
Clay are superb cheap cigars. The Royal Jamaica aren't EVEN MADE the same way anymore
and that box is going to give you a real treat if they are good. The Montecruz, ehhh, they
are not terrible, but they are the dud of the lot, IMO. In fact they might as well head to
the war zone. Your mileage may definitely vary. I am not a fan. But while you may be
tempted to believe the Arturo Fuente are the real steal, it will take you all of about one
smoke before you realize its REALLY the Royal Jamaica that are the best boxes you got.
