Excuse my simpleton reference here...I have been smoking for years (LOW quantity) and have since started to really taste the flavors profiles in the cigars. I went to the library and borrowed 'A complete Idiot's Guide to Cigars' An idiot has gotta start somewhere!
As it turns out, I should have read ahead! I was stuck in concept from Page 160:
"The cigars in the marrying room are packed closely together so that they have a chance to share flavors and mellow with hundreds of nearby stogies!"
As it turns out...this is during the aging process prior to being packaged. It is part of the 'marrying time' The author suggests that by the time it gets to me, the aging and flavors have already been completed.
I'm just digging into the book...it makes me feel good to own some quality cigars. I suggest picking up a copy! BUT, read it completely first before asking questions.
